As I went to look, where the dog was going for my throat, he caught the back of my head and I could feel the teeth in my skull."I never thought [of] myself as a heavy, emotional person and I never, ever believed in depression, but when I'm in bed and it's totally dark and quiet, it's like a cinema screen - I just see it happening all over again."Sussex Police have applied for a destruction order for the dogs, which will be considered when Mr Brown is sentenced.The animals are being held in secure kennels out of the county.
