A woman was left devastated after 'fireworks' caused her dog to die from a heart attack.
Debbie Lucas let her 12-year-old cairn terrier Chica out into the garden of her home in Knowsley Village at around 7.30pm on Friday (January 27) night. However, after she became startled by "very loud" bangs, Chica suffered a heart attack and died.
Debbie believes the bangs were caused by fireworks. Posting on Twitter on Friday night, one woman wrote: "Some fools have let off industrial fireworks near my brother’s place and his neighbour's dog has had a heart attack and died. Why aren’t they banned yet?"
