Fears raised after dogs killed in vicious attack

FEARS have been raised for the safety of toddlers, small animals and livestock following a vicious dog attack which killed two heavily pregnant Pomeranians.

The owner of the two Poms was lucky to save a third when what is believed to be an Alsatian-type cross got into the conservatory of a house owned by Maggie Egan-O’Neill.

Her dogs Sheepie and Trixie, who were both in pup, were savaged by the far larger attacker. One was killed instantly and the other had to be put down by a vet. The stray then turned on a third Pom and squared up to Ms Egan-O’Neill as she tried to save it.
