She said: 'Neo was off his lead and was on his back with his paws in the air totally submissive. 'I saw a man with his dog and asked him if he was friendly, he said he was, so I let Neo go over but then he had him by his chest and his throat.' Tracey added: 'We couldn't get him off him (the dog). I was screaming, and two workmen came running over. 'The workmen managed to get hold of Neo then he (the owner) let go of the lead and he had him a second time. It makes me think, what if it was a child.'
