Pair home from hospital after vicious dog attack | PHOTOS, VIDEO

The vicious attack almost severed Jenny's finger and left her pet pup Bonnie in intensive care at a veterinary hospital.

"I'm still a bit traumatised," Jenny said.

"Poor Bonnie is so miserable and has been in and out of the vets."

Since the weekend attack Maitland City Council rangers have not been able to find the stray dog, which was described as a large black rottweiler.

Jenny and her partner John fear the dog may attack again and are devastated it has not been found.

"Since it happened I have seen little girls just 30 metres from where the attack took place," John said.

"We are worried."

The Tenambit community has rallied around the pair, a good Samaritan paid $50 towards Bonnie's vet bills and Jenny has received several 'get well' cards and flowers.

"There are still some nice people in the world," John said.

Jenny will spend her recovery time at home and had a strong message for pet owners.

"You can't blame the dog, it is the owner's responsibility to take care of their pet," she said.

"You probably think your dog won't hurt anyone, but as soon as that dog looked at Bonnie, it went straight for her and grabbed her.

"It should not have happened."
