'One in a million' grandma likely killed trying to break up fight between bulldogs, inquest finds

A grandmother killed in a dog attack is likely to have been trying to break up a fight between two American bulldogs before one turned on her, an inquest has heard.

Ann Dunn, 65, was found collapsed with “catastrophic injuries” in the Liverpool home she shared with seven dogs on October 3 last year, the hearing at the Gerard Majella Courthouse was told on Tuesday (April 25). Senior coroner for Liverpool and Wirral Andre Rebello said: “She was looking after family dogs at her home.

"More likely than not she separated two dogs from fighting, securing one in the kitchen. The other dog has then attacked her, causing severe, fatal injuries.”
