A pet owner is facing jail after her dogs were part of an attack that saw a man get part of his ear bitten off.
Michelle King was visiting Wallsend from Scotland when her two American Bull Mastiffs, called Ghost and Bonnie, and two other animals of the same breed escaped from a backyard in Wallsend. The animals then pounced on a couple who were walking down the street and left one of them with serious injuries, a court heard.
The victim lost part of his ear, needed stitches to his thigh, lost a lot a blood and had to stay in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary for three days while he underwent surgery. He has been left permanently disfigured.
