A woman was dragged into the road after her dog was allegedly attacked by a 'banned dog breed.'
The woman, who did not want to be named, was walking her dog near Thatto Heath Park, in St Helens on Saturday May 21. A dog described as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier attacked the family dog, a greyhound named Jamie, grabbing it by the throat.
A member of the family which owns Jamie told the ECHO: "An old-ish couple with two dogs were on the park with them off lead, the Staffy type dog ran straight over and got Jamie by the throat and dragged him and my mum into the middle of the road. My mum was on the floor and to be honest she's not got great health, I thought she was going to have a heart attack."
