Female jogger savaged by pit bull in North Cork

A WOMAN may lose the top of one of her fingers after a savage mauling by a pit bull terrier at the weekend.

The animal has been destroyed since the terrifying attack in north Cork on Saturday.

The 27-year-old woman was jogging alone in the Cloonbannin townland, just off the N72 Mallow to Killarney Road, and had just run past a house when the pit bull launched its unprovoked attack.
