A woman from Leeds has opened up about the anguish of seeing her kitten mauled to death by a dog. Ten-month-old Soul was put to sleep on Sunday (May 29), with owner Jackie Webster, 49, revealing the cat had suffered a punctured diaphragm and collapsed lungs.
The dog, a Brindle Lurcher, had the terrified cat in its mouth, for almost half a mile at Foundry Mill Terrace where the Webster family reside. Jackie lives there with her two daughters, 19 and 23. and heard a commotion from inside the house just before 8pm and one of her daughters screaming.
Soul's owner managed to race after the dog and retrieve him, but it was sadly too late. The mother-of-two said: “When I took him out of the dog’s mouth, I wrapped him in my arms, took him own, put him in a towel and took him straight to the vets.
