A woman has received a community order after her dog mauled a postman and dragged him around like a 'rag doll'. Mark Fox, who'd been working in the profession for over 20 years, was attacked at Gemma Wood's home in Bury when he heard a dog barking aggressively.
He recalls hearing a loud bang before the Staffy-cross appeared and charged at him, biting his lower leg and knocking him to the ground. Minshull Street Crown Court heard that neighbours described the dog throwing the victim around like a 'rag doll', the MEN reports.
Eventually a man came out the house and pulled the dog away before Woods tearfully apologised to the postman. She was handed a community order and has to pay a £50 fine after she pleaded guilty to being a owner in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury.
