The family of a woman who had her finger bitten off in a dog attack on the street have said the police’s decision to deem the dog safe and return it to its owner is appalling.
Annette Tonyin, 61, was walking her dog in south Birmingham at about 8am on 30 April when, according to her account, one of two dogs being walked on the opposite side of the street ran across the road and began to attack the pet.
