The young girl was taken to hospital suffering from severe bite wounds to the head and face Share:

The owner of two pitbull terriers that attacked a five-year-old Italian girl in a Krakow restaurant last August (see NPE 31/34) is to appear in court charged with endangering the child’s life. The young girl was a guest in Jolanta O.’s restaurant on ul. Grodzka and was heading for the toilet at the rear of the building when the two pitbulls, not wearing the muzzles required by law, escaped from the rear of the restaurant and set upon the child.

The young girl was taken to hospital suffering from severe bite wounds to the head and face, and has been left with scars to this day. The dogs’ owner has cooperated with investigators and expressed her sorrow for the incident and willingness to compensate the girl for her suffering.

Big Apple on a shoestring

Budget airline Iceland Express is proposing cheap flights from Krakow to Keflavik, Reykjavik’s airport, beginning this summer. One of the major benefits of the connection is it will make it possible to take a cheap flight from there on to New York, providing a budget alternative for those wanting to visit the United States. The flights are due to start on June 2 this year and will enable passengers to avoid the overcrowded terminals in Munich, Frankfurt or London.
