Blind woman and guide dog attacked by other dogs

A BLIND woman and her guide dog have come under a series of attacks from other animals.

Jennifer Barrett, 29, lost her sight four years ago and depends on a guide dog to get around. She is pleading with dog owners in her native Waterford to keep their animals under control and save her from attack.

The mother of one has been attacked with her guide dog, Conor, three times in the past 18 months. One attack was by a pit-bull terrier, another by a boxer.
