Couple describe the moment their dog was gored by a boar

A couple have been describing how their dog Oddie was gored by a wild boar - which then attacked them.

Jemma and Roger Vine were walking in the Lydney Park estate in the Forest of Dean when a boar charged their 13-year-old springer spaniel, hurling it into the air and ripping open its side.

The dog only survived after emergency surgery.

One minute she was toddling along beside us, the next she was being thrown up into the air by the boar, screaming in agony...

– Jemma Vine
