Princess Anne's dog in second attack

A royal maid was attacked by one of Princess Anne's bull terriers just days after it apparently savaged one of the Queen's corgis.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that Florence, an English bull terrier, attacked the woman at Sandringham on Sunday, biting her on the knee.

The woman, reportedly in her 50s, was treated on the estate by a doctor who had been called by Anne after hearing of the attack.

The dog will now undergo behavioural retraining but the palace spokeswoman refused to comment on whether it would have to be put down.
