A dog lover was saved by her pet when an XL Bully she had taken in became violent and mauled her, the shaken woman has revealed.
Charlie Watts was left with around 200 puncture wounds to her arms and legs after she was savaged by the 'unlicensed' dog she was looking after.
The unnamed animal is said to have turned on her when she tried to stop it from fighting with her own dog, which she describes as an XL Bully cross called Titan.
Ms Watts managed to escape the crazed beast by locking herself in her bathroom at her home in the Norfolk market town of Holt.
A neighbour is understood to have heard her cries for help shortly before midnight on April 9 and raised the alarm.

Firefighters helped her escape through a window to avoid the XL Bully she was looking after that was camped outside.
Norfolk Police confirmed the dog that attacked Ms Watts had been put down.
The force added they were continuing to hold onto Titan while officers establish what breed it is, and whether the pet falls into the official category for an XL Bully - which is banned in the UK.
Heavily tattooed Ms Watts, who is in her 20s, was taken to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where she spent four nights before being released on Saturday.
Her grandfather, Alan Gilbey, who was at her home on Monday, said: 'She's recovering. I'm just cleaning up the blood and stuff.
'She's out of the hospital. She has got something like 200 puncture wounds on her arms and legs. She had stitches, sutures, glue… whatever.'
He added his granddaughter hadn't regained the use of her hands yet but said: 'Fortunately, her dog saved her life. He pulled the other one off. He was a smaller dog.
'She's got him neutered and registered because they said he was borderline, so she should be getting him back tomorrow.
'He's not a banned dog because we already had him tested two years ago but you know what the police are like. They took one look and said he was a banned dog but that is not the case.'
