Woman used false leg to fend off rottweiler

A one-legged pensioner fought off a leaping Rottweiler by shoving her metal limb in its jaws.

Cecilia Springett, 74, was pinned to a fence by Rottweiler Zak as she walked her terrier in Newquay, Cornwall.

She said: "I turned my false limb to the dog. As he bit the metal I could hear his teeth grinding."

Now the animal, instead of being put down, may become a Police dog.

Police said: "He has potential."
