A mum says the beloved family dog that would share her bed at night turned on her and almost ate her alive - devouring 'half her arm' in a vicious attack.
Tya Lucas was at home showing off her new pup Roo to her friend Peter, 33, when seven-stone pitbull Hercules lunged at him, grabbing his neck with his teeth.
The 41-year-old quickly pried the dog away from Peter, pushed him into the safety of the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
