Five dogs, including two family pets and three search and rescue ones that were poisoned in Hillsborough Forest Park in Co Down have survived the first night.
They include an elderly Wolfhound Collie mix aged 12 and a Springer Spaniel aged two, plus three dogs who work with search and rescue teams to help vulnerable people who have become lost or injured, Belfast Live reports.
Shauna Harper from K9SARNI stated that she was walking her dog Koda with friend and dog trainer, Alicia Huntley, when their dogs discovered "piles and piles" of left over human food.
