The 51-year-old was jogging along Griffith's Ortella Street at 4.30am on Monday when two brown-coloured dogs came at her, barking and circling, before dragging her to the ground and attacking.

Two witnesses saw the dogs dragging the woman along the concrete footpath after being woken by her screams for help.

Another resident called triple zero, shouting reassurances, as the other two attempted to scare the dogs off with a shovel.

Police arrived a short time later and were approached several times by the dogs, who were continuing to be aggressive.
