A woman from Glasgow was left horrified after her dog was attacked by two Bull Terriers on a west end street on Saturday morning.
Susan Jack was out walking the family pet, Flora, on Dumbarton Road at around 11am when a passing dog grabbed hold of Flora's ear.
The owner was left horrified by the attack and tried to pull her beloved pet to safety.

She told Glasgow Live: "I was just taking her home after we'd been out for a walk.
"We turned onto Dumbarton Road and I'd seen these two dogs before with their owner. As we walked past them the dog lunged and went for Flora's ear.
"It had her ear in its big jaws. I then went down on the ground to try prise the dogs mouth open and Flora was yelping away.
"The owner stood there and wasn't really doing anything. Twice he told me to 'calm down love' whilst doing nothing to resolve the situation.
"At one point the dog released her but I can't remember if it was the same dog or the other one which got her again.
"It was just awful. I remember thinking that she was going to die."
Susan took her dog immediately along to the vet on Hyndland Street after the incident.
She added: "Eventually I got her free and took her along to the vet on Hyndland Street. I can't understand why if you have dogs like that you wouldn't muzzle them to keep everyone safer.
"I saw a woman giving the owner a right telling off. Someone told me there were people hanging out the window because of the noise of it all."
Luckily the one-year-old dog has recovered from the incident quickly but it has still left Susan shaken. When out walking she finds herself more watchful of bigger dogs passing-by
The owner said: "I've noticed I am quite wary when walking Flora now. Which is a shame because these dogs aren't necessarily aggressive. It is all about how they're trained and treated by their owner.
"It was just awful. I was very grateful for the support I got from people that witnessed the attack."
The incident has not been reported to police.
