A professional dog trainer has been ordered to pay more than £3,000 after two Alsatians he was training for Government security work mauled a tiny Yorkshire terrier to death.
Stuart Forster, 36, who also trains police sniffer dogs was taking German Shepherds Demon and Nuke through a public park on Bonfire Night when they suddenly pounced on the little terrier named Riley which was being walked by its female owner.
During the incident, one of the dogs clamped its jaws around Riley's abdomen, puncturing its chest and diaphragm, whilst the other savaged its legs. The terrier died at the scene from its wounds, despite the efforts of its owner to intervene.
