Woman bites dogs to stop attack

A woman was forced to bite her two dogs while holding one in a headlock to stop them attacking a small border collie.

Delwyn Heath, of Hastings, was walking her eight-year-old collie Mercy in Collinge Rd on Sunday afternoon when two "pit bull-type" dogs lunged at frightening speed.
A passing motorist helped to stop the attack by jumping out of his car and hitting the attacking dogs with an umbrella.

The limp and bloodied Mercy was wrestled from the jaws of her attackers, which then lined up Mrs Heath and the motorist.

Mrs Heath said afterward: "I was walking on the footpath and I heard this rustling sound and this dog was trying to get through the fence of the orchard.

"There was a lady with another dog and I started yelling at her to get her dog."
