Three German Shepherds launch 'pack attack' as woman left needing plastic surgery
The horror attack involving three German Shepherd cross dogs took place in a public field and left the victim with multiple wounds to her hands and fingers which required plastic surgery A dog owner has been warned she could be jailed after her three German Shepherd cross dogs launched a savage attack on another woman in a public field. Sarah Pike, 51, from Exeter, appeared before Exeter Magistrates' Court, where she admitted being the owner in charge of dogs dangerously out of control that caused injury. The attack happened at Exwick playing fields in December, and left the victim with multiple bite wounds to her hands and fingers. She later required plastic surgery. The prosecutor described it in court as a 'pack attack', telling magistrates that the three dogs - named Zac, Storm, and Nala - had acted together during the incident. Pike also pleaded guilty to two additional charges of being in charge of dogs dangerously out of control on the same day. She was told she could face up to six months in custody. Following the incident, the three dogs were seized by police, and two other dogs - previously in Pike's care - were euthanised after separate attacks on 'other dogs and humans', the court heard. District Judge Angela Brereton told the hearing that an expert report would now be prepared to assess the temperament of the dogs. A destruction order may be made depending on the outcome. Pike is due to be sentenced in September. Last month, a dog latched onto a woman's face in Liverpool and left her needing 20 stitches after what began as a seemingly innocent gesture on a night out. Mum Cody Davies had been out with a friend when she stopped to stroke a dog, which she described as a "pitbull type". Within seconds, it jumped up and bit her in the face. The 31-year-old said she was left with "blood pouring" from the wound and that she was lucky not to lose her lip following the attack on Mathew Street at 1am on Sunday, June 29. Cody, from Port Sunlight, was taken to Aintree Hospital from the city centre where she received 20 stitches to her face. Following the attack, the mum urged others to not approach dogs unless they're certain they are safe. "I feel terrible and I feel so sad. I love my dogs and this dog was just playing with its owner in the street so I went over to stroke it," Cody told the Liverpool Echo. "When I went over, the woman didn't say anything about not approaching them but when I did, it jumped up and bit my face. I was running around with my hands covering my face and blood pouring from my face. "No taxis would take me because I was covered in blood and thankfully someone rang an ambulance for me."

‘Unapologetically heartful': Actors praise Strange New Worlds as it returns to resolve massive cliffhanger
Don't miss out on the headlines from TV. Followed categories will be added to My News. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns to our television screens tonight with its third season – and with a promise that the charming earnestness of the franchise remains undiluted. Season two ended on one of the more dramatic cliffhangers in Star Trek's history, with the Enterprise locked in a seemingly hopeless struggle against a bloodthirsty, lizard-like race of aliens called the Gorn. When we last saw this crew, the ship was outnumbered and under heavy fire. Starfleet had ordered Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) to retreat. But multiple key members of his team, and hundreds of human colonists, had been abducted by the Gorn, and faced a horrific fate if Pike were to abandon them. Quite the impossible choice, then. The face of a captain with no good options. Meanwhile his love interest, fellow Starfleet Captain Marie Batel (Malanie Scrofano), was quarantined in the Enterprise's sick bay and infected with Gorn young which, as we resume the story, are set to tear their way out of her, Alien-style, within hours unless a miraculous solution can be found. The season closed with a shot of Pike's tortured, indecisive face on the bridge, and his crew begging him for orders. So, the first order of business is to resolve that cliffhanger. Only then will Strange New Worlds be able to settle back into its usual rhythm. Speaking ahead of the new season's two-episode premiere, the show's actors stressed that it will remain true to the spirit of the franchise. 'I think, for me, personally, the thing about Star Trek that always touches me – and it has not dulled at all in the five years that we've been doing this show – it just opens my heart a lot to engage with it,' said Australian actress Jess Bush, who plays Nurse Christine Chapel. 'Star Trek is so unapologetically optimistic and heartful. It just believes in goodness, in the inherent goodness of humanity, and a positive version of what the future could be. 'What I find with a lot of other TV shows that I've watched is there's almost a cynicism, or self-deprecation, or you know, there's a fear of being earnestly pro-stuff. 'And Star Trek is really different in that way. It's just very positive, and wondrous, and curious, and really owns that characteristic for itself, which is something I am so proud to be a part of.' Jess Bush as Nurse Christine Chapel and Ethan Peck as Spock. The characters have a complicated relationship. Picture: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ Another fairly unique quality of Star Trek is the freedom with which it can dip in and out of different genres. One episode might be serious and philosophical; the next a silly comedy; the next something approaching horror. Strange New Worlds has been criticised at times for its handling of this inconsistent tone, most famously after its, ahem, offbeat musical episode Subspace Rhapsody late in season two. That was immediately followed by a deeply dramatic finale, with its aforementioned cliffhanger. The actors, however, enjoy the dancing between genres, which gives them a chance to explore their characters more fully. One upcoming episode in season three features an early version of the holodeck, a staple of Star Trek later in the in-universe timeline. Christina Chong, who plays the outwardly serious security chief La'an Noonien-Singh, leads the cast in a Knives Out-style detective story. She described the episode as 'a huge gift'. 'I mean, to be able to number one, play a different character – or be La'an playing a different character – to be able to get into the film noir/sixties world, to be able to mash those two kind of periods together and play with all the amazing characters the writers created. The holodeck was an incredible excuse to do that,' said Chong. 'It was the most incredible episode. I cried at the end of it.' Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh and Paul Wesley as James Kirk in the film noir-style episode. Picture: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ And her character on a more normal day at the office. Picture: YouTube Asked whether it was difficult to pull off the show's tonal shifts, and to keep their characters feeling consistent and believable, Bush said it was, in fact, quite the opposite. 'Actually, I think it's an absolute gift for an actor to have that,' she said. 'As soon as I feel comfortable, they shift it to something else, and you're constantly moving and evolving in a way that's kind of like a jungle gym, for an actor. 'And I don't think you often get opportunities like that with long-running shows. So while it is challenging and thrilling. Like, actors are masochists.' 'Exactly. What other show do you get to do this on? Or will we ever get to do this on in our lifetime?' said Chong. 'It helps you feel more three-dimensional,' added Martin Quinn, introduced to Strange New Worlds' cast in season two's finale, who plays the beloved legacy character Scotty. 'You're learning so much more about your character as another episode, or another scenario, something completely different, comes up.' You can look forward to many of those wildly different scenarios as season three progresses. The show remains as eclectic as ever and, to steal Bush's term, unapologetically 'heartful' – as every Star Trek story should be. Season three of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres tonight on Paramount+ with two episodes. You can read our review here.
