Freddy Brazier is desperate to have his dog Pablo returned after he was mauled in an attack last week.
The son of the late Jade Goody described the pocket bully as his ‘son’, but said he could now be destroyed after being seized and taken away by police.
Freddy, 21, received emergency hospital treatment after Pablo ‘hooked onto his arm’ during an attack.
He has now described the attack, in which his grandmother Jackiey Budden was also bitten, saying it was ‘terrifying’.
Freddy told The Sun: ‘I couldn’t feel anything in my right arm. But then I saw blood coming out of my tracksuit. I opened it to see a 3cm hole in my arm. It was terrifying.’
He’s now facing the fact that he could never see the dog again.
He said: ‘I want my dog back, but my nan has told me that he can’t go back to her house, and my dad won’t have him at his house.
‘I have never seen him as my dog — he’s like my son. He’s in police kennels and I’m probably not going to see my dog again.’
After representatives for Freddy confirmed he was receiving medical attention for the bite, it was later revealed that it is not the first time the bulldog has attacked.
Police and the fire brigade were called to a home on July 16 by a concerned neighbour after the dog gripped onto Jackiey.
A source told The Sun: ‘It’s been a shocking few days. During the first incident Jackiey was home alone and she was mauled – on this occasion one of her panicked neighbours raised the alarm.
‘Both the police and the fire brigade attended, but fortunately it wasn’t too serious – and they agreed not to pursue criminal charges.
‘But a few days later the incident was repeated, and this time it was worse. Freddy came back to take Pablo but caught up in it all as the dog was clearly still frenzied.
‘Freddy went to A&E immediately, but discharged himself after complaining that the waiting time was too long. But yesterday he was forced to return and his injuries couldn’t be ignored. He was still in hospital at night receiving significant treatment.
‘It’s been an awful few days and Freddy is devastated as he absolutely adores that dog and Pablo is a huge part of the family.’
The incident comes after Pablo reportedly played a role in the breakdown of Freddy’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn.
Freddy and Holly, 22, welcomed daughter Isla Jade together in March this year before splitting soon afterward, with previous reports claiming Holly had tried to convince Freddy to get rid of the dog during a heated argument before their relationship ended.
