A "lovely and funny" nan who was mauled to death by dogs on Monday evening had been treated in hospital for dog bites a year before she was killed in a horrific attack, the Liverpool Echo understands. Ann Dunn, 65, died at a property in St Brigids Crescent, Liverpool, by "multiple" dogs described by Merseyside Police as American Bulldog breed.
According to reports, her family raised the alarm when she did not turn up to collect her grandson from school. The Liverpool Echo revealed that Ms Dunn went for hospital treatment in August last year after suffering a number of bites from a large dog. Her injuries on that occasion were not life-threatening.
Tributes flooded in for Ms Dunn, who was a cleaner at Liverpool John Moores University. In a touching statement, a spokesperson for the university said: "The university community is absolutely shocked and devastated by this tragic loss and to lose Ann in this way is just heartbreaking.
