Man bit attacker's leg to get him to stop kneeling on his dog's throat

A dog owner bit a man on the leg to protect his elderly pet. Sean Armstrong was walking his 12-year-old Staffie when Skye was attacked by another dog.

The 37-year-old, who has mild cerebral palsy and mild learning difficulties, says the Staffie-type dog pounced on Skye, who has recently had an operation. Sean says the dogs' owner then starting screaming and kicking Skye. Sean, who was knocked to the ground, says he saw the man kneeling on his dog's neck and to defend her struck in the only way he could - by biting the man's leg, reports Stoke-on-Trent-Live.

Sean said: "I came across this man with four young male Staffordshire bull terriers, all off their leads. My dog has recently had an operation and one of these dogs attacked her - and then this guy started kicking her.
