Distressing footage has emerged of the moment a woman is mauled while trying to rescue her pet dog from two others who were roaming a Perth street.
CCTV shows two larger dogs savagely attacking the woman and her pet for more than a minute before a neighbour interfered.
The small pet dog was torn from the woman’s arms on Sycamore Road in Dianella, 8km north of Perth’s CBD, on Saturday morning.
The critically injured pet dog died after it was rushed to the vet.
The attacking dogs were on the loose for almost an hour and have been impounded by rangers, 7News reported.
It is understood the woman required surgery for injuries sustained to her hand and arm.
City of Stirling Mayor Mark Irwin told 7News the footage is probably the most “extreme” and “distressing” video of a dog attack he has seen in his time in office.
“It will lead to a prosecution,” he said.
“There is no good ending for those two dogs, whichever way it goes.”
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
