Seen & Heard

Woman bites dog! She looked out of the window to see her beloved poodle being savaged by a pitbull terrier. So she leapt out and sank her teeth into the larger dog's neck. Well, you would, wouldn't you?

Dagmar Vidovic's father was returning home from walking Zeni, the family pet, when a pitbull launched itself out of the bushes nearby, grabbed Zeni by the throat and started shaking her around. Dagmar, from the Croatian Adriatic resort of Novi Vinodolski, tried to pull her pet free but when she realised it was impossible she bit the bulldog with all her might and the animal let go. Dagmar, who broke her heels in her heroic effort in now in hospital and Zeni has had surgery.

The fate of the pitbull is not yet known.
