A dog has been mauled to death by another dog during a violent attack in Trowbridge.
The incident happened at around 9.15am on Sunday morning (11 September) in the fields between Elizabeth Way and Victoria Road, in the Hilperton area.
It’s alleged a black and white dog, described as a Staffordshire bull terrier-cross (pictured), viciously attacked and killed a small breed – which was on a lead at the time.
