A woman has described "the most horrific moment" when two dogs attacked her while she was on holiday near Great Yarmouth.
Anne-Marie Daniels said she was "mauled" by the dogs at Cherry Tree Holiday Park, in Burgh Castle.
The 46-year-old from Cambridge explained that she was walking to her caravan with her seven-year-old when two dogs "went for" her son.
But as she attempted to save her child, they turned on her.

She said that dogs are supposed to be kept on a lead at the caravan park, but "there is not one sign saying 'Keep your dog on the lead'."
The mother-of-two said she now suffers from flashbacks of one of the dogs on top of her.
The park, which is run by Parkdean Resorts, said "safety" of guests is " extremely important".
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Cherry Tree Holiday Park added that it is dog-friendly but its rules warn guests that pets must always keep on a lead.
A spokesperson said there was a "zero-tolerance policy" on this, and the dogs were removed the following day.
They added: "Security staff worked with the local police and paramedics who confirmed while on-site they were satisfied Anne and all other guests were OK".
Norfolk Police said they attended the site on August 7 following reports of a dog being out of control.
