Man in 40s suffers ‘significant’ injuries after dog bites him in the face while camping in Sunshine Coast region

A man has suffered “significant” facial injuries after being bitten in the face by a dog on a property in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Emergency services were called to a private property near Kenilworth - a rural town in the Sunshine Coast region, north of Brisbane - about 2.51pm on Sunday after reports of the incident. A Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) spokesman said a man in his 40s was treated for significant facial injuries. It is believed the man was camping on a private property when a dog belonging to another camper bit him. The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew landed in a nearby paddock about 3.30pm that same afternoon and flew the man to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a stable condition. The breed of dog involved is not known.
