Sincerest sympathies to Jack's 70 year old owner.
By Leon Watson
Jack, a 25-year-old Yorkie, was attacked and bitten by a black lakeland terrier near its home on Teeside.
Owner Ray Bunn, 70, said: "I am still in shock. We expected Jack to die quietly in his sleep, not in this horrible, violent way. The dog just came out of nowhere and grabbed Jack on his side.
"I was desperate to get the dog off Jack. I punched it, but it was about three minutes before it let go.
"Jack was bleeding heavily but still breathing. Someone had a blanket and we wrapped him up and put him in the back of the car."
The dog, who would be 117 in human years, was rescued by Ray and his wife Mary 17 years ago from a couple who could not care for it....
