Man’s dogs killed and ate puppy

A MAN whose dogs killed and ate his girlfriend’s nine-month-old puppy has been banned from ever owning more than one dog.

Wesley Rooney of 12A Carra Vale, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, pleaded guilty to six counts of having no licence for the six dogs found on his premises when gardaí received a report that a child had been attacked in his garden on February 26.

However, when Garda Tomas Blake arrived he found three of Rooney’s six dogs eating his girlfriend’s long-haired fox terrier.
