Tributes have been paid to an animal-loving gran who died after being mauled by pit bull she took in as a starving stray.
Anne Shields took in dog called Choccy to live at her holiday home but suffered "catastrophic" injuries in the attack. 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".
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.
