Harrowing footage shows the moment shoppers desperately tried to save a dog as it was savaged ‘to death’ by a crazed mutt in a busy city centre.
The Staffie-type dog can be seen with its jaws clamped around the throat of a pug while ‘tossing it around like a rag doll’ in Wolverhampton.
Brave members of the public batter the snarling hound with an umbrella and a wheel board in an attempt to get it to loosen its grip.
But the out-of-control dog refuses to release the defenceless pug from its jaws as it’s viciously mauled despite the efforts of bystanders.
People frantically shout ‘Move!’ and ‘Get off’ while a woman, who appears to be the pug’s owner, tries in vain to pull the smaller dog free.
The woman can be heard wailing in distress before the pooch eventually goes limp outside The Sunbeam pub in Wolverhampton.

The shocking video, filmed by an onlooker, was obtained by the website Birmz Is Grime, and uploaded to social media.

Another added: ‘Poor little thing, I hope the owner is arrested and the dog destroyed. Devil dogs!’
A third put: ‘You have to blame the owner not the dog, there’s a reason it was given a taste for blood.’
Another commented: ‘This is so hard to watch. Why are so many people standing around doing nothing?’
West Midlands Police have been contacted for comment.
