Enigma of Dickinson
Emily Dickinson, the American lyrical poetess, passed away in 1886, about one and a half centuries ago. Her poems, however, continue to linger on, casting a profound influence on readers.
A 12-year-old girl was horrifically mauled by her pet dog as she leaned to kiss him in Drouin suburb in Melbourne.
On Thursday afternoon when the girl, Niki Chrysanthopoulos, was having snacks after returning from school, the dog American Bull terrier named Ollie started to growl. As the girl asked him not to growl and leaned to kiss him, Ollie bit her on face.
In the attack, her lip was ripped off and teeth were knocked out, 7NEWS Australia reported.
