Hulking Rottweiler-husky cross left girl’s leg hanging off in horror canine assault

Shocking images have emerged showing one woman’s leg “hanging off” and another with deep cuts after four dangerous dog attacks rocked locals in less than two days.

The string of maulings began when a woman in her 60s was savaged by a Rottweiler Husky mix on Sunday (Sept 22) in Doncaster, South Yorks. In a desperate 999 call, she reported that her leg was ‘hanging off’. Responding paramedics rushed the lady to hospital suffering serious, although not fatal, leg injuries.

But later that Sunday, coppers dashed to a scene where a Belgian Malinois had sunk its teeth into a 20 year old woman.

The mutt turned violent towards another family member before attacking the young woman as she tried to stop the rampage, leaving her nursing nasty arm wounds.

Come Monday (Sept 23), the nightmare continued with police racing to yet another dog attack report. This time, a 33 year old woman from Maltby, South Yorks was bitten at home.

Whilst feeding another pooch, an XL Bully lost its rag, targeting both the woman and the other dog. She came away with bite punctures and even a broken wrist, but her life was luckily not hanging by a thread.

Shortly after, South Yorkshire Police received a report of a 13 year old lad being bitten by a Cane Corso, resulting in minor injuries. In the wake of these terrifying attacks, Chief Inspector Emma Cheney revealed that the force is experiencing an “unprecedented demand” to respond to dog attacks.

She stated: “Sadly these incidents are not isolated and are a daily occurrence for our officers to respond and deal with. We are continuing to see an unprecedented demand on our force, as well as other organisations, such as the NHS. Please, please take action. Simple steps can be the difference between life and death.”

“Do not leave children unattended with dogs. Make sure your dog has somewhere safe and comfortable to go when you have visitor. Walk your dog on a lead in public areas”.

A representative from the force further emphasised the need for owners to stop thinking ‘it won’t happen to me’ and take preventative measures. They added: “You are more likely to be attacked and bitten by a known dog within a home. Taking precautions, regardless of your dog’s age, breed and history can save yourself, your family and others from harm.”
