Neighbours feared giant dog ate postman - but severed arm turned out to be 'toy'

Neighbours feared a 16-stone dog had eaten the postman after he was spotted racing around with a bloody 'severed arm' in his mouth - but it turned out to be a grisly toy. Debra Ann Ridge was at home last week when she heard five-year-old English Mastiff Tatanka careering around the garden.

The 57-year-old rushed outside to find the excited pooch with a gruesome severed 'body part' in his mouth. Stay-at-home mum Debra Ann claims her shocked neighbours initially gave them a 'look' before realising the mischievous dog had raided her Halloween collection and swiped a bloody forearm.
