A HEARTBROKEN dog owner whose beloved pet was ravaged by an 'XL bully-type' has spoken of her utter devastation.
Gemma Krzesinska was walking her three Lupine dogs Zues, Dax and Toki along the Bridgewater canal path in Leigh when the attack unfolded on April 8.
The 36-year-old says they weren't far from home when she noticed a man with an XL bully-type dog walking ahead of them.
Concerned about the animal's aggressive behaviour, IT worker Gemma clipped elderly Toki onto her lead and kept the other two dogs at her side.
After passing the dog and its owner, who Gemma says was struggling to keep it under control, she carried on walking until she heard a noise behind her.
That's when Gemma realised Toki's lead had been ripped from her hand and the dog had her front leg in its mouth.
