She described the incident in horrific detail, she wrote: "I heard Kev say get off me Cookie... so I went into the kitchen, told Cookie to get down which he did.
"Anyone who has come into contact with Cookie knows how much of a big fat head play boy he is.
"He's not aggressive in the slightest. Just thinks he's still a small pup and bounces around rather than walk..."

"I grabbed Cookie's blanket from his crate to try and keep the wound from bleeding. I carried him to the sofa and called the ambulance.

“Seven minutes it took for the ambulance service to get to us. It felt like I was doing compressions for an hour.
