TERRIFIED TEEN THOUGHT BULLY WOULD KILL HER

Girl, 15, will be left with permanent scars

A WOMAN has been charged after a teenage girl's leg was ripped open in an alleged dog attack.

Jaelee Scott, 15, was at a family friend's house where the XL Bully was being kept while its owners were on holiday.

The animal allegedly sank its teeth into her leg, and its claws into her thigh and arm, in June, leaving her fearing she "was going to die".

It is understood the dog had to have its jaws grabbed and prised open before it would let go of the screaming teen.

Jaelee was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee and had three hours of surgery to address two blood clots and clean out her wounds. The schoolgirl will be left with scars from the gouges in her flesh.
