Experts have explained what has contributed to a recent rise in dog attacks, which have killed several people in our region over the past year.
Ann Dunn, 65, is believed to have been savagely attacked by her son's three-year-old dog, Bronx, as she tried to break up a fight between it and another dog, Cairo, at her Vauxhall home on October 3 last year. She suffered "catastrophic" injuries to her arms, legs and neck, including broken bones and bite marks "down to the bone".
Jonathan Hogg, 37, was also killed in a dog attack. Jonathan suffered fatal injuries after he was attacked by a dog, believed to be an XL bully type, in Leigh.
