‘Devil’ Staffie Attacked A Dog, Torn Throat Open And Squeezed Blood Out Of Neck

Brian Ross, 61, jumped to the defense of his poor pet Holly being attacked by a Staffie-type dog which appeared “out of the blue”, but it rejected to untie its bloody grip. A shocked man gust into action perforating a dog on the head to protect his pet as it destroyed its teeth into her neck.

“Soft-natured” Irish red setter Holly, was attacked nearly to death by an exasperated Staffie-type dog which left her requiring life-saving surgery. On Sunday, Brian Ross, 61, was with Deborah walking across football pitches in Aberdeen when a devil dog attacked their beloved Holly at around 5.30 pm.

The couple alleged Brian’s tries to beat the powerful beast off three-year-old Holly were in vain, as it only braced down rigid, squeezing blood out of her neck, said dailystar. He spoke to the Daily Record: “We often go down to the football pitches just near where we stay and we’re always quite nervous when other dogs are around as she’s quite jumpy.

“We see dogs to the left of the field so we decided to go to the opposite side. Our dog was on the lead – she’s always on the lead. “Out of the blue, we saw the dog – like a Staffie cross – come running down. Deborah tried to get the dog at the back of her legs but the dog flew at her and got her neck.

The 61-year-old annoyed to get the dog to statement its jaws from Holly but as it squeezed tighter, blood began pouring from her neck. He continued: “Holly was howling and squealing. “I was down on my hand and knees hitting the dog on the head trying to get it to release but it wouldn’t let go.

“Deborah was distraught while this was going on – she thought Holly was going to die in front of us. “When I saw the blood coming from her neck and the dog still had a grip I panicked even more. It was a scary experience.” Holly went to the emergency vets after the fear outbreak and had to undergo surgery on her neck.

She is currently at home recovering but isn’t out of the woods yet, and her owners say she hasn’t been herself since. Brian privileges the alleged owner of the dog, who seemed to be attended by a male friend, originally presented concern when she arrived but became distrustful when the couple told her they would be contacting the police.

Police are currently probing the attack and are trying to trace the female owner who is labeled as between 20 and 30 years of age, of heavy build, with long dark hair and a tattoo of a clock on her left arm. Brain added: “Holly is part of the family and she’s very soft-natured. “She might survive the attack but what will that do to her around other dogs?

“My worry is what if it had been an even smaller dog or a kid? “To have a dog like that not on a lead is unacceptable.” Inspector Gillian Donald is appealing for information and said: “This incident has caused the owners of the red setter great distress.

“The dog has undergone treatment for a serious neck injury and is currently doing well. I would ask anyone who witnessed this incident or who has any information about the incident or the owner of the bull terrier to contact police.”

Anyone with information on the incident is being urged to contact police on 101, quoting crime reference number CF0131910621.
