An Airdrie couple were bitten by 'out of control' dogs after they mauled their pet in an unprovoked attack.
Owner Olivia Brooks and her partner Marc Gray, 33, were walking their two-year-old Golden Doodle, Bailey in the Greengairs area when three 'unattended' dogs launched themselves at the pup.
The dogs gripped onto Bailey's legs as Olivia, 30, quickly chapped on their owner's door. In an attempt to release him, Olivia and Marc were bitten by one of the dogs and later required a tetanus jab and antibiotics.
Bailey was rushed to the vets where he was sedated and stitched up which cost the couple £500. Olivia is now hitting out at North Lanarkshire Council and Police Scotland for the "lack of action" they took following the attack, reports Glasgow Live.
She said: "They were jumping so much and barking at my dog. They were able to open the lock on the gate and got out and attacked Bailey, mostly on his legs.
"Myself and Marc were bitten by one of the dogs but it’s hard to say which one because they were all similar. It’s one of the most awful things that has ever happened to me - we couldn’t separate the dogs so I felt powerless.
"I have worked really hard on my dog and he is really friendly. Bailey defecated because he was terrified, the worst bit is that he never fought back but at the same time I am glad he never because it would make us just as bad.
"I had called the police to alert them because I believe the dogs were out of control. For a couple of weeks after, I couldn’t get Bailey’s screaming out of my head."
Police Scotland confirmed they were contacted regarding the dog-on-dog attack and referred the matter to the dog warden at North Lanarkshire Council.
