	Description:		A woman whose young daughter had part of her face bitten off by an aggressive dog can't understand why the animal has not been euthanised a month after the attack. The dog belongs to a family member who came to stay at their Waikato home. They were aware it had previously bitten an adult and had been impounded, but the family was unaware it had also previously attacked a child. The dog was seized by animal control but the owner won't give permission for it to be destroyed. Georjeana Tupawa, whose daughter was attacked, spoke to Lisa Owen.
