A care worker was left with dog teeth embedded in her wound and her Achilles tendon torn after being savaged by a rampaging Staffordshire Bull Terrier that attacked others.

The dog escaped from its garden in Normanton while the owner was out and sank its teeth into three people in total, and another dog. The woman’s injuries meant she required surgery, was forced to give up her job after being off work for 10 weeks and still walks with a limp. The dog’s owner, Natasha Haden, appeared at Leeds Crown Court this morning where she admitted three counts of being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury.

The dog had been taken from her since the day of the attack and had accrued almost £13,000 in kennels fees. A statement was also presented to the court suggesting the dog had escaped previously and had shown aggression, although it did not attack. Haden said she knew nothing of this. Mitigating, Eleanor Mitten said that Haden did not usually keep the dog outside but did so on that day to keep him away from another of her dogs which was “on heat”.
