Two out-of-control dogs are said to have savaged a flock of lambs leaving nearly 50 dead or injured.

The horrifying attack saw two loose canines wreak havoc on farmland - killing a ewe and 23 lambs, while leaving another 23 seriously wounded.

Following the devastating maulings one of the animals - thought to be an Akita - was seized and police are hunting the owner of the pair.
