The owner of a dog left fighting for life following a street attack by another dog, says Northern Ireland must tighten laws to protect companion animals and their families.
Danielle Saunderson from Bangor, Co Down, came home from holiday hours before her dog Teddy, was set upon near the children’s playpark of the seaside town.
Shih Tzu Teddy, who weighs less than 6kg, was being walked by Danielle’s sister, Stacey, when he was attacked by an off-lead dog and sustained life-threatening injuries.
