The injuries (above) were horrific, almost beyond description. Charla Nash, Sandy's closest friend, was handing Travis a favourite doll when the 13-stone animal grabbed her and sank his teeth into the front of her face. Ms Nash survived, but she lost her eyes, nose and jaw. 'My skull was opened up,' she says, 'My brains were out. He did a number on me.'
