A couple who claim their dog was ‘viciously attacked’ by another dog while out walking said the incident has left their beloved pet ‘nervous and petrified’ and in need of emergency treatment.
Ian and Carol Harling, of Rochdale Road in Bacup, say their beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Freddie was brutally attacked by a German Shepherd dog at around 3pm on Saturday afternoon (April 23) after it ran out of a garden on Cobden Street.
The savage attack lasted minutes but it left Freddie with a series of puncture wounds, which required medical treatment from a local vet. Carol said Freddie was treated with stitches and painkillers, and left ‘nervous and petrified’ following the incident.
