A local jogger has been attacked by multiple yappy muts while he was running laps of a nearby park.
David Douglas went for his bi-weekly jog last night and was left bleeding badly from the knees down.
"I was about half way round the park when the first one appeared and I kept still because I thought that maybe its visual acuity is based on movement like T-Rex. But no, not this chihuahua. I stared at her, and she just stared right back. And that's when the attack came. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two chihuahuas I didn't even know were there.
"Then I heard another jogger yell 'Rrrruuuun!'
"But it was too late.
"The last thing I remember was thinking 'clever girl' as they launched themselves at me.
"The next thing I know I'm waking up in a hospital and my legs are bandaged up.
"The doctor said she thought I had escaped a horde of tiny zombies."
Chihuahua owner Mary MacGrubbens claims that her dogs were acting in self-defence.
"That jogger startled my four babies: Blue, Charlie, Echo and Delta.
"Yes, he was on the other side of the park but my girls are sensitive.
"We were innocently minding our own business when my little darlings set up a coordinated attack pattern to bring him down.
"He was lucky that none of his blood got on Blue's new suede and diamanté collar or I'd have sued the pants off him."
Although the incident left Mr Douglas shaken, he is determined to jog again and has bought a rottweiler to accompany him on future runs.
"If those chihuahuas show up again, me and Rex will be ready."
