The puppy, Maisie, died at the scene and the woman's injuries were not serious, Durham Police said.
A 25-year-old woman, from Brandon, has been charged with allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control and is due in court. Both animals had XL bully certificates and are being housed in police kennels.
