 A heartbroken Plymouth mum has been left traumatised and inconsolable after the 'last little thing' in her life – her precious dog – was killed in a barbaric Pitbull attack inside a shop in Devonport. Lynda Warne, who has recently recovered from breast cancer, was shopping with her little Yorkshire terrier and 'best friend' Maxy, when the horrific and 'traumatising' attack took place. The 66-year-old, who lives in Devonport, was picking up some wet wipes when a 'Pitbull-type' breed launched itself at tiny Maxy, and 'wouldn't let go for five minutes', killing him and leaving 'blood everywhere'. Lynda, who described Maxy as the 'last little thing' she had left in her life, said Maxy 'didn't stand a chance' and she is now seeking counselling after the shocking incident. She said two female members of staff were so shaken by the incident they had to stop work for the day and go home. Maxy the terrier was mauled by a pitbull-type dog for around minutes at a shoppign centre in Davenport(Piture: BPM) Lynda said one police officer described it as the 'worst attack on an animal' they had ever seen. Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed they attended after a 999 call and are now investigating. 'I will just never forget that sight,' said Lynda, choking back tears. 'Maxy, my little boy, didn't stand a chance. This dog just made an aim right for him, he grabbed Maxy and Maxy must've died straight away as he didn't make a noise. His eyes were wide open. The Pitbull-type dog didn't let go for five minutes. I was shouting and screaming, 'He's not dead, he's not dead!' but he was.' Lynda, who has lived in Devonport her whole life and has one son, has been going through radiotherapy treatment for her cancer and now has 'a scare' in her left breast too.
