UNITED KINGDOM -- A woman has spoken about the terrifying moment she was attacked by an out-of-control dog.
Julie Seaman, who suffers from epilepsy, was standing beside her parked car at Bell Lane Farm, in Bell Lane, Eton Wick, when the dog bit her right leg.
She shouted for help and her daughter Joanna, 30, and friend Sarah Tubey, 40, managed to pull the dog away. However, she suffered six wide puncture wounds on her right calf.
The 52-year-old, who suffered a seizure following the incident at around 8pm on Saturday, June 23, said: "I heard an aggressive bark and next thing I knew there was a dog hanging off my leg, ripping through my jeans.
"My daughter said my leg looked like a rag-doll's, just being pulled everywhere. It was horrible.
"I han't had a seizure for around two years but I think it was the shock that brought one on."
Mrs Seaman, who was taken to hospital by an ambulance, added her leg could take six months to heal and may need plastic surgery.
Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
The dog was a black bulldog type with white sock-like marks on each paw, standing approximately 15 inches off the ground.
It had a Labrador-shaped head, long tail and a silver choke-chain around its neck and was with three white men in their twenties.
The first is described as 5ft 3in with a heavy build and wearing a black hooded top pulled over his face and dark grey trousers.
The second man is 5ft 8in, medium build with light brown, combed over hair. He wore a blue jacket, dark blue jeans and dark shoes.
The third man is 5ft 10in and skinny build with short spikey dark brown hair that looked gelled. He wore a black puffa-style jacket, a blue striped jersey and trousers.
Anyone with information should call 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
