A toddler was rushed to hospital after being bitten in the face by a dog in North Berwick.
The two-year-old girl was treated in Edinburgh's Sick Kids Hospital after the attack, which happened on Saturday afternoon.
The incident took place in the garden of a house in the town's Glenburn Road.
The girl has since been released from hospital after undergoing treatment. STV News understands that the dog is still with its owner.
Last week, two 10-year-old girls were attacked by dogs in separate incidents.
Toni Clannachan, from Kilmarnock, was bitten in the face by an Akita dog while playing in a schoolfriend's garden on Tuesday.
She was taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock and reportedly needed more than 100 stitches.
Last Sunday, Rhianna Kidd was mauled by two rottweilers while riding her bicycle in Dundee.
She was treated for a fractured jaw and had to have plastic surgery. The dogs were put down and a 33-year-old woman was charged in connection with the attack under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
