‘Officers attended the scene and took initial details including a counter allegation from the bulldogs’ owner.

Marie told Teesside Live her dog, Naevia needed life-saving treatment, which could cost £14,000.
She said: ‘A dog came over and sniffed my dog and then done a little scuffle and made a noise and then just jumped on her and bit her face and wouldn’t let go.
‘They didn’t have harnesses or leads, nothing at all. So there was no way of grabbing them to get them off.
Both Marie and her 20-year-old daughter Jessica had antibiotics and a tetanus jab for their bite wounds.
Marie added that she felt ‘shocked and traumatised’ by the ordeal.
