A woman is being treated in hospital after being attacked by two dogs in her home on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
Paramedics say two Staffordshire Bull Terriers followed the 70-year-old into her house, at the corner of Wilson Crescent and Arthur Street in Dromana, at 2:30pm AEDT.
She badly cut her wrist when she tried in vain to stop the animals killing her dog.
The woman's brother, Tony Hakim, says the terriers raced after her poodle.
"The other two dogs, they came in from outside, running after her dog, and she tried to stop them and they started biting her too, and they killed the other one," he said.

Woman witnesses fatal dog mauling
Saturday, December 26, 2009 » 10:18pm A 70-year-old Victorian woman saw her pet dog mauled to death by two dogs who followed her into her home. The attacking dogs followed the woman inside as she brought her shopping into her house in Dromana on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, a Victoria Police spokesman said.
The pair, believed to be Staffordshire bull terriers, savaged her dog, Fluffy, to death, and the woman was bitten as she tried to stop them. The owner of the intruding dogs is talking to police and a council ranger has collected them.
Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman Lauren Nowak said the woman suffered a deep wrist wound as she tried to stop the attack. She said the woman managed to flee the house, locking one of the attacking dogs inside with her dead dog, before calling for help.
The woman received treatment at the scene but will be taken to hospital to receive the appropriate medical shots. The fate of the dogs is now a council matter, a police spokesman said.
