Ex-footballer Jermaine Pennant was hospitalised after being mauled by a dog.
The former Arsenal player needed more than 50 stitches in his leg after a German Shepherd repeatedly bit him while protecting his American Akita, King, who had jumped to save his owner's life during the incident in North London, when both dogs were off their leads.
Jermaine, 43, told The Sun: "It was really scary. The other dog had a go at King, so I stepped in to protect him.
