A THREE-YEAR-OLD girl on an outing with her parents at Sentosa Resort was attacked by a an unleashed and unmuzzled Siberian husky.

Part of little Matilda Eve Sail's left ear was torn and she had to be hospitalised for a night.

She was attacked by the ferocious dog at Tanjung Beach at Sentosa on Sept 30 last year.

The dog handler, Goh Boon Bee, 24, was hauled to court on Wednesday to face a police summons charge of being negligent with the husky.

She pleaded guilty.

The court heard that Matilda's father, Mr Jamie Sail, 41, saw an unleashed black and white Siberian husky dog charging towards his daughter and biting her on both sides of her head.

He rushed towards them and chased the dog away.

Goh's friend, Ms Toh Xiao Wei, 20, who was the dog owner, had asked Goh to take care of her pet that month.

District Judge Shaiffudin Saruwan postponed sentencing to June 11 to allow Goh to consider compensating the girl's father.

Matilda's medical bill amounted to $3,400.
