A treasured pet dog died after being chased into its home and mauled by a Dogue de Bordeaux. Jack Russell cross Princess suffered extensive injuries and vets were unable to save her.
Owner Shona O'Sullivan, 53, was left devastated by the attack on her 12-year-old pet which she described as "my world". Shona also suffered bites and scratches to her foot and was treated in hospital following the late night attack.
"I am still in shock and pain," she said. "I can't get my head around that she is gone. Princess was my world. It is devastating."
