A scots couple took extreme measures when they were forced to flee their home after being attacked by their own dog.Emergency services rushed to the scene in Dalkeith following reports of a Staffy dog attacking its owner when they found one man dangling out of a top floor window, reports Edinburgh Live.The ordeal was captured on the BBC Scotland show Paramedics on Scene, which follows ambulance crew members and call handlers out on the job.The latest episode saw crew members Kim and Scott first on the scene to the distress call.

Afraid they could also be attacked, the ambulance crew awaited instructions from both the police and fire service while trying to stop the distressed man falling out of the window.

The man's partner and the dog were elsewhere in the property."The gentleman at the window was very distressed, so my concern was that he was going to fall out.

There were multiple times he was sitting half out the window," Scott commented.Kim added: "We had multiple resources coming, we had police, the fire service and police dogs but it was how we were going to get staff up into the house without the dog potentially going for one of them."The ambulance crews attention quickly turned to the partner inside the house when the man informed them that they were bleeding heavily from a bite .To stop her losing any more blood, another paramedic arrived on scene and is forced to throw a bandage through the window so the man can use it to dress his partner's wound, but he is still tasked with making it past the dog to get to her.Audible screams can be heard coming from the woman in the other room and the man panics and struggles to carry out any of the instructions given.
