A tiny puppy weighing just four kilos has made an astonishing recovery after she was mauled by a large dog and left on the brink of death. Brave little fox terrier Matilda suffered horrific injuries including paralysed legs, broken ribs and a bite wound which pushed bone into her spinal cord.
The sudden attack happened while owner Diane Columbine was walking five-month-old Matilda in her local park in Urmston, Manchester. At first, the other dog was playing happily with miniscule pup Matilda - then without any warning, grabbed her by the throat and shook her frenziedly from side to side.
