A mum mauled to death by her own dog in a brutal attack which almost killed her partner has been pictured and named. Mum-of-two Joanne Robinson, 43, was attacked in her home by one of the family’s two American Bully XL dogs, the Mirror reports.
Pictures of the tragic animal owner have now been released following the fatal attack as police in Rotherham took the dogs away. One tribute read: "To our beautiful angel up above. You will never be forgotten. Love you always.” Dotty told how Rocco - who was nearly two and his two-year-old mate, Bully XL bitch Lola - were both seized by police. Speaking about the family’s horrendous ordeal, the gran of nine, supported by other members, told how her daughter and partner had had the dogs since puppies.
She re-emphasised: “It must have been the heat. There’s a saying about mad dogs going out in the midday sun.” Dotty, reliving the horror, told how her daughter has been to visit a friend and had walked back into the house about 10pm.
