Coronation Street fans were distraught over heartbreaking scenes which saw Cerberus the greyhound put to sleep after the poorly dog ate an Eccles cake. Viewers of the ITV soap were warned of upsetting scenes as gran Evelyn Plummer was forced to say a tearful farewell to her trusted pooch.
Tragedy struck on the cobbles after, in last Wednesday's episode, Evelyn called in Roy Cropper's cafe with Cerberus in tow. When the vet suggested food poisoning, a guilty Roy revealed he'd dropped an Eccles cake in the café containing currans which are poisonous to dogs
The usually stoic Evelyn cried as she wrapped her boy in a blanket and said goodbye, and actress Maureen Lipman was also in tears for real as she filmed the scenes after her own devastating loss, reports the Mirror.
