Dog owners left with £15,000 bill after off-leash hound mauls their tiny pet

A couple have been left trying to fund a five-figure vet bill after their tiny pet was attacked by an uncontrolled dog on steroids.

Frances Dooley, 47, says she is still paying off her credit card bill today from when her senior Shih Tzu-mix, Woo Woo, was grabbed by a drugged Pit Bull five years ago.

They were told it would cost $20,000 - around £15,000 - to save their pet after it took them almost ten minutes to prise him from his animal's jaws.
