A mum has told how she had to punch and kick an American Bulldog away from her four-year-old daughter after it mauled her face in a bloody attack.
Amy Hobson, 32, dragged little Luna-Ann Forsyth away from the animal's grips as it held her on the ground at a friend's home.
The child then had to be taken to A&E by taxi after 999 call handlers said it would take several hours for an ambulance to arrive.
