Police were called to the woman's home in Success around 4.35pm on Saturday after receiving reports she was being attacked.

St John Ambulance conveyed the 31-year-old woman to Royal Perth Hospital for treatment of serious dog bite wounds to her arms and legs.
Rangers seized both dogs and the investigation is now with the City of Cockburn.
