A woman has spoken of the trauma of seeing her kitten mauled by a dog and chasing after it as its teeth sank into the feline’s stomach.
Ten-month-old Soul, a white and black moggy, was put to sleep on Sunday (May 29), hours after suffering a punctured diaphragm and collapsed lungs. Soul’s owner has recounted the horror of seeing the little cat, flopping out either side of the dog's jaws as it bolted through Seacroft.
The dog, a Brindle Lurcher, had the terrified cat in its mouth, for almost half a mile. Soul’s owner Jackie Webster, 49, managed to race after the dog and retrieve him but it was already too late.
