A chihuahua was mauled to death by two ‘vicious’ dogs while being walked by its owner.
Tracey Logan, 51, plans to sue the owner of the crossbreed dogs, who came racing round a corner to attack three-year-old Belle on Wednesday morning.
Her tiny pet suffered a punctured lung and died on the street in Seacroft, Leeds.
Just hours later, a Japanese Akita suffered a broken leg after being allegedly attacked by the same dogs, who Tracey believes were part Bedlington Terriers and used for urban hunting.
She said: ‘They followed us round the corner and then they just started attacking Belle.
‘She didn’t make a sound, they just started attacking her. They dragged her out of my arms.
‘They were biting her and shaking her like she was some sort of chew toy.’

Neighbours went to her aid but Belle could not be saved.
Tracey now plans to take the owner through the small claims court.
She added: ‘It was a vicious, horrible, devastating attack. I don’t want anybody to have to go through that.
