Poor woman

Hope she makes a good recovery.

I doubt this will make the Daily Fail though, I wonder why?

Oh i dunno. Might have something to do with the fact it is a couple of fluffy froofroo dogs. Bruises look awful, hope shes okay.

Poor lady. Hope she isn't too emotionally scarred by it.

This is probably not going to sound the way I mean it to, but it makes a change for it not to be a bull breed.

It's not just bruising she's suffered

"Now Margaret is returning to hospital later today amid fears she may need skin grafts on her legs.

The grandmother-of-one said: "It was absolutely horrendous. There was nothing I could do. I just felt their teeth sink into my legs.

"I was covered in blood and I can't sleep because I am in so much pain."

"You can put two full fingers into one of the wounds because it is so deep."

"I have been a dog lover all my life but I want these dogs destroyed."

Margaret, of Whitfield Road, Ball Green, had been to visit a neighbour when she was attacked by three collie-type dogs and two Jack Russells."

I know what you mean Caryll, thing is, bites and strikes happen all the time, and bully breeds aren't high up on the list of perportraiters, it's just they're usually the only ones you hear about.

Yep this is true. The three that were put in kennels im going to bet my life were the collies. Even though i would again weadger that the JRT were the ones that started it! Collies are very nervous dogs, and an agressive one won't attack on its own accord unless really hassled. I would say the JRT ran up and started on her and the collies followed!

It doesnt say who they belong to though, were they farm dogs or what? Cause they are usually agressive cause they don't get socialized.
