Joanne Robinson was set upon by one of her two two American Bully XL dogs when it 'suddenly snapped' at the family home.
The first images have been released of a mum who was mauled to death by her own dog in a savage attack which also left her partner seriously injured.
The house has been cordoned off as forensic examinations get underway. One tribute read: "To our beautiful angel up above. You will never be forgotten. Love you always.” Dotty told how Rocco - who was nearly two and his two-year-old mate, Bully XL bitch Lola - were both seized by police. Speaking about the family’s horrendous ordeal, the gran of nine, supported by other members, told how her daughter and partner had had the dogs since puppies.
Dotty, reliving the horror, told how her daughter has been to visit a friend and had walked back into the house about 10pm. She explained: “She was downstairs and suddenly Rocco attacked her, it got her, I think it was around the throat.
