The owner of the dog which mauled a three-year-old boy to death yesterday was investigated by police for two other animal attacks, but was never convicted.
Paramedics rushed to the area at Carr Lane, Milnrow, shortly after 1pm on Sunday to reports the youngster had been injured.
Chilling pictures of the scene showed 'beware of the dog' warnings plastered all around gates on the property.

'I was one my own and I had to climb along a wall to get away. I had to have surgery on my arm.'
