A dog owner has described the terrifying moment his beloved pooch was mauled by another dog right in front of him in a park.

Lloyd Medland from Liverpool had been walking his two dogs in the city's Newsham Park on Tuesday, August 31.

Lloyd, who was with his partner Kelly and a friend, said he had his back turned while Kelly had hold of three-year-old bichon frise Flossy and eight-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier Leah on their leashes, when all of a sudden he heard a scream.

As he turned around, Lloyd saw a bigger dog, described as a bull mastiff type breed with brown and beige fur, "snatch" Flossy while Kelly tried to free her.

The dog-owners rushed to the vets, but Flossy died soon afterwards of her injuries.

Flossie had suffered internal bleeding, burst blood vessels and that bits of her muscle had been "torn away."

A vet said a specialist may be able to help, but as that was explained another vet appeared to tell them Flossie had died. The couple later contacted the police.

Lloyd, 34, told the Liverpool ECHO: ""I ran over and I saw my partner on the floor, my other dog was now loose running around. She was trying to get the big dog off our bichon frise and this dog wasn’t moving.

"My first thought was where’s the owner? I started looking around and there was no one in sight."

Lloyd said he eventually saw the owners at the other end of the park "casually walking down’" and claims they had "no desire or urgency" to get to them.

He said he was screaming "get your ****ing dog" but was left feeling "helpless" in the situation.

Lloyd said: "Our dog was in a bad way, it’s something I’ll never ever forget. She was screaming, I felt sick and scared because the dog was an absolute animal.

"I’ve got hold of our other dog but I’m also watching my dog getting killed. I was helpless, absolutely helpless."

Lloyd said a random passerby tried to help before the dog owners gave him the "coldest sorry" and removed their pet from the situation.

"They gave us the coldest sorry and walked away. Our concentration at the time was to get the dog back to our car to take it to the vets," he said.

Summarising his feelings now that he's lost his beloved dog, he said: "I just feel like my world is finished to be honest.

"It’s hard to explain that to people who may not like dogs. She was just a happy, joyful, reliant dog."

Lloyd is now appealing for information to find the couple and get answers.
