Thanks guys. I,m not one to overdramatise. And I'm really regretful that a dog is dead. But I thought my time had come. Until you see 50kg driving a gaping mouth of white fangs straight at your throat, I guarantee you have no idea of sheer primordial terror. I instantly slipped through a wormhole in time to become cro-magnon v wolf. It was just utterly shocking. The attack was unprovoked, unexpected and without warning. I was on a major national footpath (Offas Dyke Way). God knows what would have happened if the attack was on a kid.
