A dad bled to death after being savaged by his son's dog while pet-sitting at his home, an inquest heard.
Keven Jones, 65, took his final breath while saying "I'm going" after he was bitten by an American Bully called Cookie.
He offered to help look after five pet dogs while son Josh went to Wembley for a football match.
Ambulance staff tried to save him but efforts to stop the bleeding in his left leg failed - and he was declared dead at his son's house in Wrexham, North Wales.
Coroner John Gittins said police were called to the house by ambulance staff after the tragedy.
Home Office pathologist Dr Matthew Lyall gave the provisional cause of death as blood loss due to leg injury.
Cookie, a two-year-old American Bully, was one of five dogs owned by Mr Jones' son Josh.
Former lorry driver Mr Jones, 65, of Saltney, Cheshire, was asked to pet-sit for the dogs because Josh's partner Chanel Fong had to go out.
Cookie was sedated by a police marksman before being put down by a vet.
The coroner adjourned the inquest until a date to be fixed to allow police to conclude their investigation.
He was in the kitchen when his son's partner Chanel Fong, 28, heard him telling the powerful dog: "Get off me."
Chanel rushed into the room to tell Cookie to get down - but then spotted blood pouring from Keven's leg.
Emergency services rushed to the scene while desperate Chanel carried out CPR.
Chanel was left with her hands covered in blood as Keven was later pronounced dead.
The family say the dog is "not aggressive in the slightest" but liked to play as if it was a small puppy.
Paying tribute, Chanel wrote online: "I heard Kev say get off me Cookie... so I went into the kitchen, told Cookie to get down which he did.
"Anyone who has come into contact with Cookie knows how much of a big fat head play boy he is.
"He's not aggressive in the slightest.
"Just thinks he's still a small pup and bounces around rather than walk.
"Kev said 'He's got me there' and as I looked down there was blood pumping from Kev's leg.
"I grabbed Cookie's blanket from his crate to try and keep the wound from bleeding.
"I carried him to the sofa and called the ambulance.
"Kev was with me but unresponsive, he grabbed my shoulder and told me he was going.
"I told him he wasn't and the call handler told me to lie him on the floor and do compressions.
"Seven minutes it took for the ambulance service to get to us.
"It felt like I was doing compressions for an hour.
"I want to thank North Wales ambulance service, air ambulance, North Wales Police and their special dog handling team.
"But after working on Keven for 45mins he didn't take another breath."
Son Josh went to London to watch his beloved Wrexham team play at Wembley in the non-league cup final - and asked Keven to help look after their dogs.
"Today has been the worst day of my life," Chanel added.
"I have had to watch two men who I love so much take their last breathe.
"I can't shake the feeling of Keven's blood off my hands and all I can hear in my head is Cookie's cries.
"Cookie did not attack Keven, he's a big boy and plays too rough.
"Please respect Josh and his family, myself and my family at this absolutely heartbreaking time.
"Cookie was euthanised in the back garden by a trained vet and the other dogs were checked over by the dog handling team, our special girl Fire was taken as she has an athletic build however the rest they were happy with and they are all tucked up in bed.
"Rest in peace my darling stupid boy Cookie-Doe and forever rest in peace with a beer my amazing father in law Keven Jones AKA Odde."
A North Wales Police spokeswoman said: "The dog was securely contained at the property and was euthanised by a vet."
