AN EIGHT-year-old girl was left in need of surgery after being attacked by a dog in an Andover shop.

Mollie Montgomery was out with her family shopping for a fancy dress outfit on the afternoon of Saturday, July 13, when a dog attacked her, injuring her lip.

She was taken to Southampton hospital where she underwent a procedure the following day to stitch her top lip back together.
