The 56-year-old from Wrexham said one of the big dogs had her springer spaniel Wilf pinned to the ground and the other was ready to pounce behind her.

She told WalesOnline that she fought off the brutal attack but is still struggling to walk two months later after her leg appeared to have been chopped off by a head clipper.

And police are now asking for help to try to track down a dark Vauxhall Insignia property after two people drove away from the scene – believed to be the owners of the two Great Danes.

Officials say a man ran to Sarah to pick up his partner’s pink phone, which she had dropped while insisting he would return to help.

However, the couple left Sarah bleeding in the street and jumped into their car with the dogs and sped away.

Sarah found the strength to stagger a short distance before a motorist pulled over and offered her help.

Sarah’s husband Mike then took her to Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

The policy manager said: “It all happened so quickly. I imagine that the woman screamed because the dogs had broken free and were running towards me.

“Later the police told me I shouldn’t have run away but that was my instinct and looking back now I wish I hadn’t.

“The dogs seemed to be circling us. I stopped running when I saw that one had nailed Wilf in the back.

“I hadn’t noticed, but the other had run after me. He attacked me, but I don’t really remember being bitten.”

Sarah said she was traumatized by the two dogs’ attack; one of which was gray and the other brindle.

She’s also had to face the idea of ​​plastic surgery to save her leg after multiple infections.

The NWP Wrexham Rural police team said: “The dogs were with a man and a woman.

“The female is described as being about 5ft 5 with brown hair tied back and the male is described as being similar in size with dark hair.

“The couple walked away with the dogs before the male returned and picked up a pink phone.”

Two months later, Sarah gets infections and has trouble walking
