An 18-year-old woman says her dog has been left traumatised after it was left with one eye following a vicious attack in Leigh. On March 20, Abigail Cunliffe was walking to her grandparents' house with her mother when her three-year-old Shih Apso, Ollie, was suddenly attacked.
Abigail says the larger dog had managed to get to Ollie through a gap in the fence of the garden they were staying in. She described how she and her mother were hysterical when they realised Ollie was being attacked and how they both had to pry the pooch from the jaws of his attacker.
She said: “It was out of nowhere, I heard Ollie yelp and when I looked down I saw the side of his face covered in blood, I was screaming. Ollie was yelping and shaking.

“My mum reacted the same way and we had to pull Ollie away from the dog which was quite hard because it had a bit of muscle. My mum picked up Ollie and all you could see was Ollie’s eyeball hanging out.
“People came running out when they heard me screaming and tried to help me calm Ollie down." Abigail said Ollie hasn’t been the same since the attack and ‘struggled’ during the first few weeks after.
She told MEN how the once ‘hyper’ pooch now spends his days fast asleep and is scared of other dogs.
Despite the incident taking place almost two months ago, Abigail says she has come forward with Ollie’s story in light of the recent news of dog attacks and safety fears and is calling on more action to be done by local authorities. "There’s been so many dog attacks recently and nothing has been done about them," she said.
