The police were called after a dog got into a primary school playground and caused chaos.
As parents were dropping their children off at St Gregory's Catholic Primary School in Netherley this morning, the dog entered school property and began to run around the school grounds, causing some concern.
The dog, understood to be a husky breed, did not belong to a parent at the school. It actually belonged to a person living close to the school, which is based in Montreal Road. The owner was identified but unable to collect the animal from the school at the time.

"Staff managed to catch the dog and remove it from the site and the animal was taken away by Merseyside Police.
