A helpless dad watched on in horror as his beloved dog was savaged by two bull terriers while out on a walk.
Black Labrador Marley's injuries were so severe the 10-year-old pooch had to be put down by vets following the vicious incident.
Gary Donald, 48, had taken Marley for a short walk near his home in Montrose when the attack happened on Garrison Road in the Barracks at around 10.45pm on Saturday.
The retained firefighter was walking back with Marley on the lead when two off-lead Staffordshire-type bull terriers appeared from nowhere and launched a vicious attack.
Speaking to the Record, Gary said: "It was horrendous. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
"I came out the house and we went down the street to a grassy area so Marley could pee. We were walking back down the street when all of a sudden I saw two dogs come out of nowhere.
"I thought they were just going for a sniff, but by the time my brain actually computed what was going on the two dogs were on top of Marley.
"I started screaming, shouting and swearing, trying to get them off - but all I had to hand was my extendable lead.
"The dogs were going for my dog, they were chewing him and snarling at him. They were in kill mode.
"Then all of a sudden two folk came from nowhere and tried to grab the dogs off Marley.
"They never said anything to me while I was shouting telling them to get them off, but one of them finally managed to one of the dogs off of him, then just took off.
"Eventually the second guy managed to get the other dog off Marley - but then it got loose again and went back for a second helping - and that's when Marley yelped.
"I can still hear that noise. It was nothing like I've ever heard in my life."
After the second bull terrier was finally pulled off Marley,
