Man attacked by friend's five dogs who began to 'eat' him and 'tore his ears off'

A singer who was mauled by dogs in an attack which saw his ears torn off has blamed himself for what happened.

Henry Sherridan claims he only has "himself to blame" after five bullmastiffs belonging to a friend pounced on and started "eating" him in an attack in April.

The 23-year-old claims the eight-stone beasts were angered and became aggressive when he yelled at them for knocking a cigarette from his hand, pushing him to the floor.
