A man staggered for help cradling his badly mauled and bloodied pet dog after a savage attack from a larger animal.
John O’Neill told the ECHO he was walking Tess, a nearly nine year old Cavapoochon, at Town Park in Runcorn when he heard a shrieking scream and felt a tug on the lead as Tess was leapt on from behind. Describing the attacking dog as a “vicious creature”, he said the animal sank its teeth into Tess' rear.
