A kennel worker whose arm was amputated after she was attacked by a Rottweiler is undergoing more surgery.
Police said surgeons were fighting to save Mandy Peynado's other arm, which was mauled by the dog at Knightwood Kennels, near Salisbury in Wiltshire.
She is said to be in a stable condition at Salisbury District Hospital.
Ms Peynado was attacked on Thursday, suffering serious injuries to both arms as she tried to protect her throat from the vicious animal, which has since been put down.
The dog was taken to the kennels by New Forest District Council after being picked up as a stray. A spokesman for the authority said they had no idea the dog was dangerous when they dropped if off.
Ms Peynado's sister, Claire Gourley, told the BBC: "She went into the kennels, the dog wanted to play and grabbed hold of her coat.
"She tugged away and he pulled her down and kept on biting and pulling her. He pulled her up and down the pen a few times and just kept biting her.
"To defend her throat, because that's all she was worried about, she put her hands up and that's why she's lost one of her arms."
Judith Wykeham, owner of the kennels, said: "Apparently there was a history with the owner who abandoned the dog and the police are investigating. We have heard that she'd been banned from keeping dogs for 10 years."
A spokesman for Salisbury District Council said environmental health officers were investigating event leading up to the attack to see if any laws had been broken.
