Dog mauled postman and dragged him around 'like a rag doll' as owner fined over incident
A woman has received a community order after her dog mauled a postman and dragged him around like a 'rag doll'. Mark Fox, who'd been working in the profession for over 20 years, was attacked at Gemma Wood's home in Bury when he heard a dog barking aggressively.
Betsy Hindle, prosecuting, said that at around 10am on April 22 last year, Mr Fox was completing his round on Ribble Drive when he made his delivery at Woods’ home. He could hear the dog barking and noted the 5ft fence outside the house was broken. The postman argued his injury was clearly a bite from the dog before contacting emergency services while Woods came out of the house 'hysterically crying' and apologising. She was later arrested and said in her interview that the dog was a Staffy-cross and became emotional because she 'knew what was going to happen to it'.
Michael Lea, mitigating for Woods said his client was disabled and has limited movement in her legs. He said: "She is extremely regretful and remorseful about what happened.
