Death of Belfast dog prompts withdrawal of three KONG leads from sale across UK and Ireland

Pets At Home have withdrawn three popular dog leads from all shops in the UK and Ireland after a Belfast dog died in a tragic accident.

Archie the Beagle-Harrier was being walked when the clip securing his harness to the KONG branded lead snapped open without warning, leaving him unsecured. Tragically in a instant he stepped in front of a van and was killed outright.

His heartbroken family, Joanne McPoland and Ed Hughes from Dunmurry, had bought the lead just 48 hours earlier trusting the KONG brand - a global leader - would not let them down as they continued training one-year-old Archie.
