A woman describes horrific story after her hand was bitten off by rescue dog

A woman yesterday told how she had her hand bitten off by a huge rescue dog which savaged her in attack which 'seemed to last for hours.'

Sue Scarlett, 64, was savaged by the 90kg - 14 stone - cross-bred beast while cleaning its kennel and looked down to the ground see her 'right hand on the floor.' The care home nurse was set up by the dog last October when the animal locked its teeth around her right arm.
