June Hatton, 80, was out walking her little Yorkshire Terrier, Milly, when an Alsatian bounded over and starting mauling the dog.
June desperately tried to stop the horrific attack by biting the Alsatian but all she came away with was a mouthful of fur.
Sadly Milly did not stand chance and was killed by the Alsatian.

June, a retired chiropodist of Brixham, Devon, said: ‘I bit him through instinct – and I would definitely do the same again.
‘Trying to sink my false teeth into that Alsatian was all I could think to do to stop him killing Milly.
‘It was instinct I guess. He was biting my dog so I bit him. I had to try everything and I didn’t have anything else to hand. Biting him seemed the only way.

Police were informed about the attack in Ipplepen, Devon, but a police spokesman said it was a civil matter.
He said: ‘Words of advice were given to the owner of the offending dog and the owner has apologised to the deceased dog’s owner.
‘She has signed a Voluntary Control Order notice, will ensure the dog wears a muzzle when in public and has made a financial contribution to the family.’
