Man bites dog on the mouth to save his pet

A man bit a dog in a desperate attempt to save his Jack Russel from being mauled.

John Wood, 65, bit as hard as he could on the mouth of the dog who was attacking his family pet, 11-year-old Bobby.

The retired nurse said he bit down for at least 10 seconds, because he was so sure the dog was going to kill Bobby.

Even after Mr. Wood’s radical intervention, Bobby suffered serious neck injuries that required £1,000-worth of treatment.

He was out for a walk with Bobby in his hometown of Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire, on Monday when his pet was attacked.

Mr. Wood, who worked for the NHS for 37 years, was approached by a Rottweiler and another large, white dog, who were both off the leash.

He said: “The rottweiler came running round and started attacking Bobby from the back.

“Bobby then tried to defend himself but the white dog jumps in and grabs Bobby by the throat. He was going to kill him, so I started hitting him over the head with a stick.

“He still wouldn’t let go. The next thing, I leapt onto the ground and bit the dog on the flappy bit of its mouth. I bit and bit, just kept biting down for about 10 seconds, until the dog finally let Bobby go.

“He would be dead if I didn’t do it, there’s no doubt about that.”

It wasn’t until both dogs backed off that Mr. Wood then realised how badly hurt his pet was.

“He had torn all the muscle so they had to stitch that back up, and sew up all the flesh,” said Mr. Wood.

John contacted the police but was told they could not do anything as it was a dog on dog attack.

Now, John wants to track down the two owners, believed to be young women, so they can pay for the expensive vet’s bill.
