A father-of-five who was mauled to death by an XL Bully had the 'worst injuries a trauma doctor had ever seen', an inquest heard.
Jonathan Hogg, 37, was looking after his friend's two dogs, when an XL Bully called Poseidon suddenly attacked him after he entered the animal's pen.
Mr Hogg ended up lying face down with the vicious dog on top of him, biting his scalp and the back of his neck, Bolton Coroners' Court heard.
The barbaric attack lasted on and off for around ten to 15 minutes, until Mr Hogg, of Hindley, Greater Manchester, became unconscious.

Mr Broxan said: 'Hoggy had come out of the caravan to see what the dogs were barking at.
