Two dogs die in suspected poisoning on walking route

Two dogs have died on a popular walking route near the Limerick/Clare border in what is believed to be a poisoning incident.

Dog owners Mary Crotty and Phyllis Walsh brought their dogs to the Loop Walk last Friday for a walk together along their usual route when both dogs became seriously ill.

The dogs did not leave Ms Crotty or Ms Walsh’s eyesight once, staying on their leads for the whole walk, Ms Crotty said.
