A woman 'feared for her life’ when she was mauled by a pack of dogs while on her way to work.
Agapi Kostea was only three days into her employment when she was attacked in Kalamata, in southern Greece on 12 September.
Agapi was arriving at work when the stray dogs attacked her in the factory courtyard.
She said the animals furiously ran towards her and started biting her all over her body, adding that she curled up into a ball and passed out during the attack.
Two colleagues chased the dogs away before taking Agapi to a nearby hospital where she is still undergoing treatment.
Grim photos taken in the hospital show bite marks and bruises all over Agapi's body.
The victim told local media she was “literally devoured”, left in “excruciating pain” and needed stitches over her body.
She added: “I was screaming in pain when they were biting me. No one was there to hear me or help right away.
“I feared for my life, I cannot believe I survived.”
The mother also shared how she can’t hug her children, as the contact hurts too much.
Just last week a young boy was mauled by a dog and left needing 150 stitches and surgery.
His dad, Sachin Tyagi, a local businessman, said his son, 11-year-old Pushp Tyagi, required surgery after he was attacked in a park in Ghaziabad in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Sachin's son was playing in the park outside his house when the attack occurred.
The furious dad said: "My son was playing in the park when the belt of the dog slipped from the hands of the girl, who had come with the animal to the park.
"The pit bull then attacked my son disfiguring his face."
