Family dog mauled to death

A family whose pet was torn apart by a pair of roaming dogs have warned of the potential risk to children.

The Lee family’s six-year-old pet Jack Russell, Bella, was attacked by a pair of dogs at Cois na Criann housing estate on the Ballymaloe Road in Cloyne, Co Cork. The dog died hours after the attack last Monday.

Nicky Lee said his biggest fear is that a child could be the dogs’ next victim.
