Mum of boy mauled to death by dog dubbed 'Beast' in heartbreaking ritual on his birthday

The mum of a 10-year-old boy who was mauled to death by a dog named Beast has today marked his birthday with a heartbreaking ritual in her local cemetery.

Emma Whitfield's son Jack Lis died following an attack by an XL bully at a house in Penyrheol, Caerphilly, Wales, in November 2021.

Jack would have turned 12 today and to mark the occasion Emma, for the second year in a row, visited the cemetery to sing to him happy birthday and blow bubbles in tribute to her late son.
