Staffordshire terriers blamed for vicious attack on Rotherham woman's pet
A WOMAN has warned other pet-lovers to watch out for a pair of rampaging Staffordshire bull terriers which savaged her dog in Herringthorpe Valley Park.
“Now they have tasted blood they will attack again,” said Rotherham Hospice volunteer Jenny Ainsworth, who suffered leg injuries in the incident.
“People like that should not be allowed to have animals.”
Pensioner Jenny’s pet, Lady, was badly bruised and covered in bite marks after the attack.
