Abby McKinnon from Bridgeton was walking her two-year-old dog Gizmo on Tuesday when the attack happened.
A dog owner says she is devastated after watching her Chihuahua killed in an attack by an "XL bully" type dog in GlasgowShe said the owner of two large dogs had one on a lead and harness, while the other was free, before the incident in the city's Bridgeton area on Tuesday.Ms McKinnon told BBC Scotland News she was on her afternoon walk with Gizmo on Finnart Street around 16:00 when the attack happened.
The dog that was off lead approached her from behind and began biting the tail of her long-haired chihuahua.She said: "I was turning my back to the dog to try and keep Gizmo away from him, and the dog jumped up and bit my back, just under my left shoulder blade and managed to get gizmo out of my hands."I was trying to open the dog's mouth, I was pulling at its fur trying to get it off my dog, but I couldn’t.
The legislation was introduced in Scotland after the breed was linked to a string of serious attacks. Ms McKinnon said the new legislation was a “good idea” but wants to see it go further requiring all dogs to be on a lead in public ."Had the owner taken the right steps he could have prevented this. He had no control over the dogs."A force spokesperson said it has been reported locally the animals involved were "XL Bully type dogs", however this had yet to be confirmed.
Sgt Bobby Fisher said inquiries were ongoing to establish the exact circumstances and to trace the owner of the dogs.'Britain's loneliest dog' is desperate for a home
