An image of the attack posted by David’s son Daniel went viral soon after the incident on Monday.

A message accompanying the post alleges that the owner of the dog apologised as he left the scene.

Talking to the Lancashire Post, David said he doesn’t want the dog, a German Shepherd, to be put down. He wants the owner to be traced and he dog to be muzzled.
