Brave Saskia wins Rangers award after dog attack

 The City of Armadale has hosted a WA Junior Rangers Bravery Award presentation and morning tea for a 14-year-old girl who was attacked by a dog while visiting her friend’s home in Roleystone last December.

Saskia Jolly, of Kalamunda, was nominated for the award by City of Armadale Ranger Services after suffering severe facial lacerations from the dog attack that required more than 50 stitches. 

WA Rangers Association (WARA) President, Eric Ayers and Armadale CEO, Ray Tame, presented Saskia with a special medallion and framed certificate on Wednesday 23 June, at a morning tea function also attended by the Jolly family and City of Armadale Rangers.

 

Mr Tame praised Saskia for her courage during and after the dog attack, which has left her with some scarring that may require further plastic surgery.

 

“Saskia has shown remarkable spirit and pluck following a traumatic event such as this and she is a deserving recipient of a WA Junior Rangers Bravery Award,” Mr Tame said.

 

“Her mum Lizzie reports that Saskia is a great animal lover and even though she is understandably wary of dogs now, she manages to handle her feelings well. 

“We wish Saskia and her family all the best for the future.”

 

The WA Junior Rangers Bravery Awards program is conducted by WARA to assist with the psychological recovery of children who have been attacked by dogs.

 

Award recipients receive an engraved medal, certificate of bravery, WA Rangers cap and badge and are made an official “Junior Ranger” of WARA.

 

Saskia, then 13, was bitten by one of two dogs owned by her friend’s family while she was visiting for a sleepover at the Roleystone house in December 2009.

 

She was treated at Armadale-Kelmscott Memorial Hospital before being transferred to Princess Margaret Hospital for Children where she received 37 stitches on the outside of her face and more in her mouth.

 

According to her mother Lizzie Jolly, Saskia was very brave throughout the ordeal, “especially when she had the stitches out as it was extremely painful.

 

“She is receiving counselling as she suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome which was causing her to have bad dreams and flash backs,” Mrs Jolly said.

 

“The counselling has really helped Saskia and she has remained positive.”

 

*The dog owner was fined $1000 in Armadale Magistrates Court in March and City of Armadale Ranger Services declared the dog to be a “dangerous dog” in accordance with the Dog Act 1976.

 

The owner must now adhere to a number of requirements including: must have “dangerous dog” warning signs at property entry points, dog to be muzzled and on a leash in public and dog to be kept in an enclosure that restricts access by young children etc.
