The owner of two large Mastiffs who mauled a Collie to death offered to replace the beloved pet.
Emma Gambrill, 44, was walking Blue on March 7 when two large cane corso dogs got out of a garden near her home in Enfield, London, and chased them.
The mother-of-two claims one "huge" dog aimed for Blue's throat and eventually latched onto his back, refusing to let go.
Her nine-year-old pet suffered major injuries and later died of his wounds.
The day after the owner of the two attack dogs offered to replace the pooch, Emma claimed.
The health visitor says she still cries over the death of Blue weekly and is now jumpy around dogs.
She told The Mirror: "The day after Blue died the owner texted me saying 'I understand the grief you're going through. This may sound a bit blunt, but would you like me to get you another Border Collie?'
"I said, 'At present another Collie is not my priority. All I want at the moment is my Blue back'."
The death has shaken Emma deeply and left her grieving for months on end.
"I am a community nurse, a health visitor," she explained.
"When I go into family homes, before I wouldn't be worried if they had a dog, it didn't phase me.
"Now I am scared, I get worried. I am very wary. We have a little Jack Russell. If I see a dog when we're out I'm on high alert all the time.
"I still cry on a weekly basis. Blue was full of life, he had so much energy.
"I look at rehoming pages for dogs, but I just can't (adopt another). Not at the moment. I can't."
Over the past couple of decades dog bite incidents have been on the up.
A recent study found that admissions to human hospitals from dog bites almost tripled between 1998 to 2018, to 8,000 admissions three years ago.
The rise easily outpaced growth in the dog population, which the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association estimates to be at 12 million - up about 2 million in 12 months.
There is no official data about dog-on-dog attacks, meaning drawing conclusions about trends is hard.
What is clear is that many people have suffered the personal trauma of witnessing their beloved pet being mauled by another dog.
A quick search on UK petition website change.org brings up dozens of relevant results.
Among them is Lynn Buchanan whose 13-year-old son watched on in horror as a Rottweiler attacked and killed his Jack Russell in Redding, Falkirk.
Just before Christmas last year Eddie Lawrence's Cocker Spaniel was mauled for 15 minutes in an attack which led to the dog having part of its mouth surgically removed.
Both of them, like Emma, were dissatisfied with the official response to the attacks.
Essex police said that specialist officers determined the dogs involved in Emma's case were not a banned breed and did not continue to present an imminent danger to people, so they were left in situ.
Horrified by their decision and determined to get "justice" for Blue and others like him, the mum launched a petition calling for dog-on-dog attacks to be made a criminal offence.
She also wants owners to face more robust action.
Since starting the campaign earlier this year, 171,000 people have thrown their support behind Emma, with her local MP presenting the petition in Parliament.
Emma continued: "Owners need to be accountable. I would have liked the dog removed and assessed thoroughly.
"If that doesn't work nor training, then if a dog has attacked a dog for no reason, I don't believe it should be allowed in a family home.
"They should be put in specialist kennels in a safe environment. If that can't happen, then I think they should be put down."
Reliving the events of the day Blue died, Emma claimed the other two dogs got under a garden fence and ran towards her.
In the "horrendous" attack that followed, Blue was fatally injured, and Emma and a passer-by were also bitten.
Emma said: "I tried to get him off and couldn't - I didn't let go of Blue and he was shaking him and stuff - three passers-by stopped to help me - he [the dog] just wasn't moving. It was relentless.
"One of them pulled the dog's head off Blue and picked him up and told me to get over this fence - Blue couldn't walk or stand and had blood all over him."
At 9:50pm that evening Emma was called by the vet who delivered the sad news that Blue had died in his sleep.
The Enfield woman continued: "I wanted to help others and didn't want it to happen to anybody else - that's how I deal with things, I was absolutely distraught and still am.
"That's why I started the petition because I thought the trauma our family have felt to have nobody accountable for what happened - I wouldn't wish that on another family, ever."
