'I thought I was going to die': Pensioner savaged by 'pit bull-type' dog in bloodbath tells of her terror

A pensioner who was savaged by a 'pit bull-type' dog has told how she feared she was about to die. Jacqueline McGrew, 75, had her scalp ripped down to the skull and suffered a broken jaw and a dislocated nose after being attacked as she popped round to see a neighbour for a cup of tea, the Mirror reports.

She said: "I thought I was finished. I thought I’d had it. It was a bloodbath. I was covered in blood. I was a real mess.

"I could feel the dog biting my head, biting down to my skull. Then it got my nose. I was screaming with the pain. I must have tried to get the dog off me because it also bit my arm."
