Man mauled by sister's dog when taking it for a walk
The 52-year-old man had been looking after the dog while his sister was on holiday and was taking it for a walk at about 9pm yesterday when it attacked, biting him on his arms and shins.
Members of the public ran to assist the man and managed to pull the dog away and restrain it before it was seized by police officers.
“During the walk the man dropped the lead and the dog ran off. He chased the dog on to Tatton Road to try and get it back, but was subsequently attacked by the dog and suffered serious dog bites to his shin and arms, which required hospital treatment.
“Officers will be speaking to the owner of the dog on her return from holiday.”

I wonder why he dropped the lead in the first place, and what happened to cause the dog to attack him when he tried to get it back.

Whatever it is it is sad for the man and for the dog but if it is found it is ill it may be a relief for it to be pts.

Also, no mention of what happened to the dog after the neighbour detained it - presumably it hasn't bitten her.
