Annette Edson watched on helplessly as her arthritic pet Abbey was knocked over by the beasts, twice her size, which she says were running unleashed and un-collared in a local park children play in.
This is the horrifying moment a grandmother's beloved cocker spaniel is mauled to death by two Chinese fighter dogs which are 'owned by the local mayor' - who has 'yet to apologise for the vicious attack'.
While the animal didn't die during the attack, her injuries were so severe and she was in 'such deep shock' that a vet recommended putting her sleep shortly afterwards, which a heartbroken Mrs Edson and her husband Colin agreed to. Sobbing as she recounted her nightmare ordeal to MailOnline, Mrs Edson said: 'It was just horrendous and there was blood pouring everywhere.'
'Suddenly I heard a woman shout 'No!' and I could see a dog had come out of nowhere, off its lead, and had smashed into my Abbey. 'One of the dogs bit my finger but that was nothing compared to Abbey. They were ripped at her stomach and bowels, it was frenzied, sustained attack which lasted four minutes.'The woman was shouting at her dogs and the man, her husband, started kicking the hell out of them to get them off.
Mrs Edson says the two dogs were running unleashed and un-collared in a local park in Worksop, Nottinghamshire HGV driver Mr Edson, 63, fumed: 'It is disgusting behaviour. There was no apology and no acknowledgement of any wrongdoing. Her husband was at fault as well, they were both in charge of two dogs dangerously out of control.The Edsons had 'beautiful and perfectly behaved' Abbey for 14 years, taking her in when she was an eight-week-old puppy
'After the dog attack my wife was absolutely distraught, and she is still in tears today, but we've have had a lot of support from people we know, and complete strangers. Mrs Edson had invited MailOnline into her neat, cosy home which is filled with flowers, sympathy cards and candles in memory of her pet which is buried in the front garden.'But to know she was attacked, and killed by dogs belonging to my community Mayor, makes it even worse. It is sickening.'
'She was riddled with arthritis but otherwise she was well and I took her to the park with out puppy every day.'
