A grieving woman has told how a “big softie” dog killed her brother and left her husband needing his legs amputated by just “nipping them” with his bacteria-infested teeth.

Pauline Day, 62, revealed how the Japanese Akita called Ted tore her family’s life apart after her brother bought him as a pet for £1,500.

But in July, Pauline’s brother Barry Harris, 46, died at his home three days after Ted snapped at his arm, causing an infection and sending him into cardiac arrest.

And just a month later Ted bit Pauline’s husband Mark, 61, as he walked the dog on the day of Barry’s funeral.

Ted literally just broke the skin on my husband and my brother.

Three days later, Mr Harris tragically died at his home after his heart stopped.

Mr Day, a builder, has been in hospital ever since and now faces having both legs amputated next week due to sepsis.

“The shock of my brother was one thing and then my husband.
