Savage Dog Attack near Falmouth
A dog has been destroyed after a woman was savagely attacked near Falmouth.
Police were called to Comfort Road near Mylor Bridge on Thursday evening after the creature bit her legs and tried to chew its way into her car.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier has been destroyed.
A police spokesman said: "We are keen to reassure the local community that this dog has now been caught and destroyed.
