Pets At Home have withdrawn three popular dog leads from all shops in the UK and Ireland after a Belfast dog died in a tragic accident.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