Two German shepherds called Nuke and Demon could be destroyed after mauling another dog to death.
Halton Borough Council said their owner Stuart Forster, 36, of The Uplands, Palacefields, Runcorn, was walking his two pets off the lead at Town Park on Saturday, November 5 last year when the incident happened. A spokesperson for the local authority said Nuke and Demon ran towards a woman and attacked her small dog, which she was walking on a lead.
The smaller dog died during the ordeal. Its owner reported the attack to Halton Council, which investigated and launched prosecution proceedings.
