Scots owner traumatised after dog's neck ripped open by Akita in violent attack
15.06.2022 - 13:29 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots woman has been left traumatised after an out-of-control Akita threw her dog around like a rag doll, ripping his neck open in a violent attack.
Karen Waddington was out with her Staffordshire bull terrier Buster in Hawick, Scottish Borders, last Tuesday when the incident happened.
The 47-year-old said the large white Akita came running around the corner and instantly targeted her 12-year-old pooch.
The mum-of-five watched on in horror as the aggressive dog grabbed Buster by the neck and viciously threw him around.
A neighbour then ran out of their nearby house and tried hitting the dog so it would release the other dog.
However, the relentless attack only ended when the Akita's male owner emerged on the scene. Distressing images show Buster's fur covered in blood after his neck was completely ripped open.
Another image shows Buster post-operation showing his neck stitched back together.
Karen reported the incident to Police Scotland and the SSPCA but claimed there is believed to be no investigation at this stage.
Speaking today, Karen said: "That day as normal we checked there were no dogs around whatsoever.
"As soon as I let him off the lead a huge white Akita came around the corner on an retractable lead. It happened in a flash. He was getting thrown around like a rag doll by his neck.
"He had flesh ripped out of him, it was laying on the grass. I remember saying, 'he's going to kill him, he's going to kill him'.
"I was screaming. There was blood and fur going everywhere. A neighbour came to help and was punching it but it wouldn't let go.
"The woman whose dog it was ran to go and get her husband and didn't come back.
"Then this guy in an orange vest came around the corner and shouted at the Akita and it dropped
