This shocking image of a four-year-old girl, who was tragically savaged by a dog at her home in Cardiff back in 2008, has just gone viral. Why? Because a self-proclaimed Canadian "patriot" shared it on Twitter. He claimed it was a Swedish victim of Islamist terrorism.
The image was posted early last Sunday morning, and it has since been retweeted over 500 times. The Twitter user claimed that it depicts a "Swedish boy beaten by Islamic terrorists because he has blue eyes". He added: "NATO should rescue Sweden & take out the evil Islamic terrorists."
But the picture is in fact of a young girl called Sophie who was attacked by her family dog at home in Cardiff. Welsh Twitter users recognised Sophie and tried to correct the mistake.
