Earlier Horrific Attack Left Man and Dog Mauled in Wolverhampton
Just days earlier, Gavin Stone, 45, was left shaken after his Tibetan Terrier Rocky was mauled by two dogs in Wightwick, near Wolverhampton.
Gavin described the terror, “It was just after 7 a.m. We’d only been walking two minutes when it happened. There was a Rottweiler with no collar or lead at the junction of Torvale Road and Grove Lane. There was blood everywhere, and Rocky was tossed in the air. I thought he was dead.”
The brutal attack also saw Gavin knocked to the ground while he cried out, “He’s killing my dog!”
