A dog tragically died after receiving a fatal injury from a plant during a walk in the park.
Stuart Good, 61, was walking his dog Ella with his friend Clive Ransom, 49, at Port Sunlight River Park, Wirral, last month. However, what should have been a regular walk soon took a turn for the worse when Ella suddenly yelped out in pain and ran out from an undergrowth.
When Stuart got home, he noticed a blister "the size of a pound coin" under the Staffordshire Bull Terrier's leg which continued to swell to double its size. Clive rushed Stuart and Ella to the vets where they were informed her injuries were caused by giant hogweed.
