A woman has told of the moment she fought off a rottweiler which attacked her dog.
Tonia Evans was walking her dog, Betty, at Fork Gilkicker in Gosport when she says a rottweiler came tearing along the path and pounced on the border collie.
When the 58 year old tried to pull the animal off her pet, she was knocked into a bush, which scratched her. Betty was left with cuts around her eyes after the incident.
After the attack, Ms Evans walked to the nearby Gosport and Fareham Inshore Rescue Service lifeboat station.
Ms Evans said ‘I am so grateful to the lifeboat crew who were there because they sat me down and made me a cup of tea. They wanted to make sure i was alright becuase I was so shaken up’.
