He then shrunk under a street caravan for about 45 minutes before being shot dead on his doorstep about 20 yards from where the attack took place.
One of his local residents told his M.E.N. "Police told me it was an American Pitbull. The first time I saw it was around 7pm and it was sitting on the pavement. I've never seen one before.
“Two teenage girls were walking down the street with a young lad. I think one of the girls tried to interact with it and started chasing her. I think that was when the attack took place. She was bleeding from her arms and legs and dropped the phone on the pavement."
They added: "Then the delivery man stopped the car. He didn't realize the dog was loose. The dog went straight towards him.
" "My brother said 'run'. He just ran straight to the house on the other side.”
Neighbors said police tried to help the dog from under the caravan.
