Overview
- An Olde English Bulldog that had run away from its home charged a 71-year-old woman and her small mixed-breed dog during a walk, and the small dog died from severe bite injuries.
- The woman tried to shield her pet and was injured; she was taken to hospital for treatment.
- The bulldog’s owner pursued the animal but, according to police, could not stop the attack before it happened.
- Local police provided the account to media and identified the key facts but did not name the people involved or give details about the woman’s condition beyond hospitalization.
- Reports do not say whether the dog was captured, impounded, or whether any charges or formal animal-control actions followed, leaving questions about next steps for public safety and enforcement.
