Jade Wardle put her arm around Hooch, a Labrador-cross, when it suddenly lunged at her face without warning just three days in its new home.

Rochelle Wardle, had to kick the three-year-old dog, to make it loosen its grip before rushing outside where friends and family telephoned an ambulance.

Ms Wardle from County Durham, told how the pet had been “tremendous” with them in the short time they had owned it. The mother and daughter were in the kitchen of their home when the attack happened.

”He was such a lovely dog in the first three days and this is such a shock.
