Margaret Ackland of Chaucer Crescent grazed her nose as she dived to save her cocker spaniel, Tetley, who had suffered puncture wounds on his back and leg, from further harm.
The 58-year-old is worried about walking Tetley after the attack which took place just yards from her home on Thursday morning morning and is warning other dog owners to be vigilant.
She said: “This dog just spotted us and flew up the road.
“I thought it was going to kill us both."
