A heartbroken grandmother was forced to put down her family's five dogs after becoming the first person in the UK to be diagnosed with a rare animal-borne disease.
Wendy Hayes, 61, was left with no choice but to euthanise her beloved pooches after they contracted Brucella canis from a Belarusian rescue dog she was fostering.
The infected dog, Moosha, had only been with Wendy for three days before she started aborting her puppies all over the home in a "horrific" experience that lasted 17 hours.
