Dog attack: Girl, 5, bitten by dog sparks neighbour fight at Miallo, Queensland A DOG has triggered a public punch-up between its owner and a mother in Queensland. The Courier-Mail understands a five-year-old girl was riding her bike along a street in Miallo, north of Port Douglas, when a dog charged at her, knocking her off her bike on October 18. It has been alleged the dog then bit the little girl through her clothing at the top of her leg. The little girl's mother, a 36-year-old, then kicked the dog away, believing the dog would attack again. An argument then broke out between the mother and her neighbour who owned the dog. The 50-year-old neighbour then allegedly punched the mother in the face. The 50-year-old was charged on Monday with assault occasioning bodily harm and is scheduled to appear in the Mossman Magistrates Court on November 26.
