Story summary

A 37-year-old man is recovering at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital after being severely injured by two dogs while jogging through Seventh Brigade Park in Chermside, Brisbane, on Friday evening. The attack left the victim with life-threatening injuries to his face, arms, and legs. Two pit bull-type dogs were captured; their owner, Layla Evans, was arrested for an unrelated matter shortly after giving an interview about her pets. Family and friends have launched a fundraising campaign to support the man's recovery, as calls grow for stricter regulations on dangerous dog breeds in public spaces.
