A man who was mauled in a dog attack has been named locally as his family describe "the worst day of their lives".
Keven Jones went into cardiac arrest after he was bitten by the animal, called Cookie, which is believed to have been an American Bulldog.
Keven's son Josh's partner Chanel Fong, who was there in Wrexham at time of the incident, said she had watched "two men I love so much take their last breath".
She detailed having Keven's blood on her hands after giving him CPR and hearing the pooch Cookie crying as he was put to sleep, The Mirror reports.
She wrote on Facebook : “I heard Kev say get off me Cookie… so I went into the kitchen, told Cookie to get down which he did.
"Anyone who has come into contact with Cookie knows how much of a big fat head play boy he is.
"He’s not aggressive in the slightest.
"Just thinks he’s still a small pup and bounces around rather than walk..."
She added: "Kev said he’s got me there and as I looked down there was blood pumping from Kev’s leg.
"I grabbed Cookie's blanket from his crate to try and keep the wound from bleeding.
"I carried him to the sofa and called the ambulance.
"Kev was with me but unresponsive, he grabbed my shoulder and told me he was going.
"I told him he wasn’t and the call handler told me to lie him on the floor and do compressions.
"Seven minutes it took for the ambulance service to get to us.
"It felt like I was doing compressions for an hour.
"I want to thank North Wales ambulance service, air ambulance, North Wales Police and their special dog handling team.
"But after working on Keven for 45mins he didn’t take another breath."
She added: "Today has been the worst day of my life.
"I have had to watch two men who I love so much take their last breathe.
"I can’t shake the feeling of Keven’s blood off my hands and all I can hear in my head is Cookie's cries.
"Cookie did not attack Keven, he’s a big boy and plays too rough.
"Please respect Josh and his family, myself and my family at this absolutely heartbreaking time.
"Cookie was euthanised in the back garden by a trained vet and the other dogs were checked over by the dog handling team, our special girl Fire was taken as she has an athletic build however the rest they were happy with and they are all tucked up in bed.
"Rest in peace my darling stupid boy Cookie-Doe and forever rest in peace with a beer my amazing father in law Keven Jones AKA Odde.”
One resident said he woke at around 11.30am to the sound of a man screaming and growls.
He said: “I heard what I thought was a dog attacking a man.
"I heard the man screaming, not blood-curdling.
"It seemed like the dog had him and he was trying to get it off.”
North Wales Police spokeswoman said: “The dog was securely contained at the property and was euthanised by a vet.
"Other dogs kept at the property will be temporarily kennelled whilst enquiries are ongoing.”
Speaking today, they added: "An investigation into this incident remains ongoing and officers are liaising with the family of the deceased."
