A Scots woman has been left traumatised after an out-of-control Akita threw her dog around like a rag doll, ripping his neck open in a violent attack.
Karen Waddington was out with her Staffordshire bull terrier Buster in Hawick, Scottish Borders, last Tuesday when the incident happened.
The 47-year-old said the large white Akita came running around the corner and instantly targeted her 12-year-old pooch.
