A grieving woman has told how a "big softie" dog killed her brother and left her husband needing his legs amputated by just 'nipping them' with his bacteria-infested teeth.
Pauline Day, 62, revealed how the Japanese Akita called Ted tore her family's life apart after her brother bought him as a pet for £1,500.
The family had no idea that Ted - who resembled a "giant teddy bear" - was a silent killer with deadly bacteria crawling inside his mouth.
