Dog killed by two dogs in Rotherham

We are appealing for information after a woman’s pet dog was reportedly killed by two other dogs, while out on a walk in Rotherham. On Sunday (16 April) at around 6.40am, the woman was walking with her two dogs across fields between Maltby and Braithwell, when she came across a man with three dogs.

^^I too was expecting to see a small dog. What a terrible thing to happen for the poor dog and how traumatic for the woman. People are just so awful at times. A dog locally was run over (on lead on country lane) . Drive got out saw dog was dead advised woman that there was a vet nearby and got in the car and drove off! That poor lady is trying to locate the person but of course was too traumatised to take a number plate. She was nearly run over too.

How utterly devastating but glad to see the police are trying to do something, I have previously had the impression that the they don't tend to do anything about dog on dog attacks.

Poor dog and poor owner. Even if they find that utter b*mhole nothing of any importance will happen to him. I would never forgive that if it was my dog.

Poor owner and poor Tadi. Not many Silken Windhounds about in the UK either (not that other breeds would be any less sad), what a beauty

Oh, that's just heartbreaking

Someone near me had her elderly Jack Russell killed by four Staffordshire bull terriers last week. Police weren’t interested.

I wonder if they would have been interested if it had been a child attacked by the dogs.
