A thug stabbed Aaron in an alley and tried to snatch his five-month-old pet
The five-month-old pooch named after ex-footballer Vinnie Jones is a Kennel Club-registered pure breed worth 2,500.
Self-employed gardener Aaron said a man approached him and asked how old his dog was.
Aaron, 20, said: I told him and he said Great. Thats nice now give me your f*****g dog.
I carried on walking and he crept up behind me and punched me in the face. I hit him back and thought hed punched me in the ribs but hed stabbed me.
I picked up my dog and went to my mates.
It was only when he saw the hole in my jumper I realised I had been stabbed.
Aaron, of Leeds, is now being treated for anxiety. But he said: I was not going to let the dog be taken. It was not happening.
