HORRIFYING details of a 999 call made as a dad was mauled to death by two XL Bullys have been revealed.
Ian Price, 52, suffered catastrophic injuries when two of the dogs leapt out of a neighbour's window before jumping through a hedge.
The Aston Villa fan was viciously attacked in a garden in Stonall, Staffordshire, as he tried to protect his mum from the beasts.
Brave neighbours desperately tried to save Ian by battering the dogs with bins but he tragically died later after being airlifted to hospital.
Now, footage, believed to be of the fatal attack has been shared on social media.
And in the background, a neighbour can be heard making the 999 call as the loving father was savaged.

When the line connects, they can be heard above the shouts and screams of neighbours saying: “Hello there, yep …” before they confirm the address that the attack is happening at.

After listening for a prolonged period, the man asks the operator: “Are you aware of the seriousness though?”
Nearby St Peter's Primary Academy was placed on lockdown during the incident, with terrified children prevented from leaving "for safety reasons".
