Police say a pit bull and a husky attacked the woman's dog before she intervened.

A farmer says it is "obvious" the animals were killed "by dog or dogs".

The woman and a dog were attacked by another dog in the Udny Station area of Aberdeenshire.

Between February and November, the force made 87 seizures, with 54 dogs euthanised.

The man was left with life-changing injuries after being attacked by the dog in Doncaster.

Cost of kennelling seized dogs soars and in many areas attacks continue to rise, forces tell the BBC.

Sophie Coulthard had challenged the ban because it would "only affect responsible bully owners".

Chanel Fong, 31, pleads not guilty to being the owner of an XL bully which killed Keven Jones, 65.
