Tracey Tennant, 48, said she’d lost her “best friend” after her 12-year-old rescue pooch, Liquorice, was 'ripped to pieces' in the ferocious attack over the weekend
The distraught retail store manager brought the wounded pet in her blood-stained coat to an emergency vet, but he was sadly put to sleep the following day.
“He was my best friend. I created such a bond with him. I don’t feel like I have lost a dog. I feel like I have lost a person.“I live on a lovely estate, but everyone is terrified to walk their dogs. Everybody is scared to go out. She didn't see the dangerous dog before it dashed towards her and believed it may have “smelled” her beloved greyhound before the brutal onslaught.And Tracey said she’d chillingly heard the mutt's male owner, who hasn’t been identified, trying to call it back as his dog galloped towards defenceless Liquorice.
“I was trying to stop it. I was with him the whole time. He tried to fight back, but he only has three teeth.”Tracey said the dangerous dog's owner didn’t apologise or put his mutt back on a lead after the harrowing attack - and walked away without speaking a word to her.
