At 7 a.m. on April 22, Gavin Stone was out walking his 11-year-old Tibetan Terrier Rocky in Wightwick, near Wolverhampton.
Instead of a pleasant early-morning weekend walk, they were mauled by two dogs, leaving “blood everywhere,” and Gavin assumed Rocky was dead.
Gavin was knocked over and Rocky was tossed in the air during the vicious dog attack.
“It was just after 7 a.m. and I took him on his normal walk; I’d only been out for two minutes when it happened,” Gavin, 45, explained. It was at the junction of Torvale Road and Grove Lane. When I arrived at the corner, I noticed the first dog, a Rottweiler. I saw it lacked a collar and a lead.”
