The distressing event happened on Bentley Drive in Walsall, West Mids, on 13 September, prompting a large emergency services response.

It is one of three separate dog-related incidents in the region this week after a man died from his injuries after being attacked by two frenzied dogs in Stonnall, Staffordshire, and an 11-year-old girl suffered bite wounds after being pounced on by an XL Bully in Bordesley Green, Birmingham.
