TWO children have been attacked by a dog roaming the streets in Caboolture, north of Brisbane.

A 7-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy have been taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital following the attack about 9.15am Sunday.

An emergency services spokeswoman said the dog was a Rottweiler and was believed to have been roaming the streets alone.

The young girl was in a stable condition suffering from facial wounds while the young boy had arm and back injuries.

He also was in a stable condition.

Police said Moreton Bay Regional Council were investigating the incident.

A spokesman for the Moreton Bay Regional Council has confirmed the dog has been caught.

He said other information was limited but the dog was "in the custody of a Council Community Response Officer".

Grrr.......why can't people keep their dogs contained? Poor kids, I hope they are soon on the mend. I can't imagine how frightening it would be to be confronted by a Rottweiler when you are only 5.
