A dog owner has issued a warning after his beloved pooch suffered horrific facial burns from a dangerous plant near his home.
Flat-coated retriever Winston, aged four, developed painful sores on his nose and left eye after sniffing around a suspected giant hogweed plant while on a walk this month.
His devastated owner Barry O'Connell, 75, has urged pet owners and parents to stay away from the plant, which is found throughout the UK.
