A woman has said she will never walk her dog in the same place again after a "terrifying experience" which could leave her without a "big chunk" of her thumb. Sally Leachman, 56, was out walking her Sprollie dog named Murphy, who was on a lead. close to the canal near Lady Bridge, Retford, on Saturday, November 12, at around 3.30om when she says she and Murphy encountered a pair of dogs.
Sally claims a Poodle jumped on Murphy's back while a black Labrador faced the pair and began barking "aggressively". Sally said she put her arms out in self-defence and was immediately bitten on the thumb by the Poodle.
Nottinghamshire Police confirmed officers are investigating the incident.
