The owner of a stray dog which killed an animal-loving gran is being investigated on suspicion of manslaughter. Anne Shields, 67, took in the Pitbull called Choccy to live at her holiday home as it was starving.
Anne suffered "catastrophic" injuries to her head and arm after the dog turned on her, according to reports. She died several days later in hospital. Neighbours heard Anne’s screams at her home in Macastre, near Valencia, and raised the alarm. Police who rushed to the address shot the dog so medics could reach Anne.
Her daughter Sarah, from Preston, said the 67-year-old couldn’t bear to cast Choccy back onto the street and that what happened to her is a "nightmare".
