ANIMAL welfare personnel yesterday warned of continued attacks by dangerous dogs until adequate resources are put into tackling the control of such breeds.

The mother of a boy who was attacked by two Rotweillers in Co Offaly during the weekend is calling for more dog wardens to be employed.

Neighbours of the young boy attacked by two Rotweillers in Co Offaly during the weekend had reportedly called to the Gardaí to deal with the dogs an hour before the incident.

THIS morning the parents of Jordan Denn, of Edenderry, Co Offaly, who was savaged by one of two Rottweilers that had escaped from an enclosure in their owner’s garden, could be forgiven for wondering why anyone would wish to keep two young animals with such destructive potential on a housing estate.
