A man has been left missing a front tooth after he bit a Rottweiler to stop it attacking his two dogs . Martin Fletcher, 55, had been walking his Jack Russells Ben and Jerry in South Gare, North Yorkshire, on Sunday afternoon when a stranger’s dog came running over.

The Rottweiler then started to viciously attack his pets, to the extent that one of them was left needing over 30 stitches.

Fearing that his dogs would be mauled to death, Mr Fletcher tried to pull the animal away before resorting to biting it.

‘It looked like my dog was dead, it was terrible, it seemed like the attack went on forever. I tried everything I could to get the dog off him, when as a last resort I bit him.

‘The owner walked over. He was hitting his dog with his lead. I bit the animal hard and I put my hands in its mouth. The man eventually got the dog on a lead.

Research what type of pet is best suited for your family’s personality and lifestyle. Dogs require more attention, time and energy than cats do, so if you don’t enjoy walks or hikes in the outdoors, or can’t imagine getting up on cold winter mornings to take your pet out to potty, a cat may be more your style.

‘There was loads of blood coming out of Ben. I took my hat off and then I saw the man walking away. I was covered in blood.’

Mr Fletcher and his wife Pauline, 55, then rushed the dogs to the vets and Ben underwent an emergency operation, which cost £800 and left him with 36 stitches.
