Women admit to allowing dog attack
Hayley Sulley, 30, and Della Woods, 29, were charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) after Clifford Clarke was attacked by their pet in Liverpool.
The city's crown court heard he was set upon after he opened his back door to air the kitchen after cooking food.
Gary Simpson from the CPS described it as a "vicious attack on a defenceless man powerless to fight back".
Sulley and Woods, from Norris Green, admitted allowing their dog to enter a non-public place and subsequently cause injury, in May 2013.
They are due to be sentenced on 3 June.
The poor dog had not been given food or water for some hours beforehand, so along with its tragic victim it also paid the price by being pts.

The maximum prison sentence for allowing a dog to carry out a fatal attack on a person has increased to 14 years from two years previously.
Allowing a dog to cause injury can now be punished by five years in prison, up from a previous maximum of two years.
