A PREGNANT home carer's nose was left hanging off when she was attacked by a patient's bulldog crossbreed.
Rebecca Scobie was visiting a woman's house as a home care assistant but within minutes of introducing herself was attacked by one of the family's four dogs.
The 24-year-old's nose was ripped off by the son's bulldog crossbreed, and despite it being known to have an aggressive temperament and having to wear a muzzle on walks, Rebecca had not been warned.
Left holding a chunk of her nose as it gushed with blood, she was rushed by her partner Aidan to A&E and has since had reconstructive surgery.
Rebecca, from Ardrossan in Ayrshire, said of the July 25 attack: "I had only just walked in and introduced myself and said, 'Hi, I'm Rebecca'.
"One of the dogs had jumped on to the back of the couch so I reached out just to pet it, as I would any other dog.
"It snapped at my face and took away some of my nose.
