There were at least 22,000 reported cases in England and Wales last year.
By Ruth Green, Jonathan Fagg, Emily Unia and Vanessa FillisThe number of dog attacks recorded by police in England and Wales has risen by more than a third in the past five years, a BBC investigation has found.
"I was sat on the sofa next to the owner. Their dog was lying across my lap. I moved forward because it was heavy and it just attacked," says the 18 year old."The bite was millimetres from my eyes. One cut was across my eyelid. I couldn't open one of my eyes for about two weeks and my forehead swelled up. A year on, one eye still can't fully close.
"I know how to act around dogs. I've had dogs all my life. It's helped me to realise that not all dogs are like that."The number of dogs removed from their owners by police has also risen, according to the FOI data obtained by the BBC. Nearly 3,500 dogs were seized in 2022 across 33 force areas - up 36% from 2018 figures.
