Three popular dog leads have been urgently pulled from shop shelves across Ireland following the tragic death of a beloved family dog.
Archie, a Beagle-Harrier, was being walked in Co Antrim when the clip securing his harness to the KONG-branded lead snapped open, leaving the one-year-old unsecured. Tragically, the dog stepped in front of a van and died.
His heartbroken family, Joanne McPoland and Ed Hughes from Dunmurry in Belfast, had only bought the lead 48 hours earlier.
