A pregnant home carer's nose was left 'HANGING OFF' when a bulldog-cross brutally attacked her - just minutes after walking into the patient's house.
Mum-to-be Rebecca Scobie was visiting a woman's house as a home-care assistant on July 25 but within minutes of introducing herself was attacked by one of the family's four dogs.

Rebecca, from Ardrossan in North Ayrshire, Scotland, said: "I had only just walked in and introduced myself and said 'Hi, I'm Rebecca'.
"One of the dogs had jumped onto the back of the couch so I reached out just to pet it, as I would any other dog.
"I was stood at the back of the couch, so I went to touch it and it all just happened really quickly. I'd only been in the house for around two minutes.
"It snapped at my face and took away some of my nose.
"My nose just felt really numb. There was a lot of adrenaline and I think because of nerve damage I couldn't really feel much of it.
"I just held my nose and turned to face the wall. It
