A pack of dingoes has chased down a French woman and her son, with at least one of the wild dogs mauling them at a Queensland beach in Australia. A key piece of advice given to tourists on the island is never to run if they encounter wild dogs. His father later told how he had to wrench his son from a dingo's jaws, after the boy encountered a pack and one of the dogs turned on him. The woman and boy injured in Thursday's attack were flown to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, where they are recovering. "The couple both panicked, and ran back towards the vehicle and it was at that time when the pack actually chased them and attacked."
