A father has spoken of the terrifying moment his six-year-old daughter was savagely attacked by a pack of six dogs.

Maya Wicksteed was visiting a neighbour with her father, Bruce, at Baldivis, south of Perth, when she was set upon by three Arab Bullmastiffs and three other dogs. 

She suffered horrific facial injuries in the relentless attack, but is now in a stable condition after undergoing cosmetic surgery on her face.
