Dog dies after being ‘ripped apart' in attack in Prestatyn
This was on Meliden Road, shortly after 6pm on Friday, May 9. Gizmo, a Jack Russell-chihuahua cross, was euthanised the following Monday (May 12) after his injuries proved to not be survivable. North Wales Police was informed of the incident, but said it was later resolved without the need for the force to take action. Ciaran McBride, the brother of the dog's owner, said: 'My brother had him for about eight years; he was a rescue dog from the RSPCA. 'We'd been out for the day when we walked past the Cross Foxes pub, and two dogs shot out and attacked Gizmo. 'I had my hands inside one of the dog's mouths, trying to get it off gizmo. The dogs were ripping him apart.' Mr McBride said the dog underwent emergency surgery that evening, having been in 'a lot of pain'. He added: 'Gizmo was in considerable pain and just didn't have enough strength left to handle any more surgery, so the decision was made to allow him to rest peacefully. 'We're all going to miss the little guy. He was a true character, and the tiny space he took up feels very large right now. 'A Facebook group has been started, called North Wales Dog Attack Watch, with the aim of informing local communities of dangerous dog attacks in a timely manner.' A North Wales Police spokesperson said: 'We received a report on May 9, reporting an incident involving three dogs on Meliden Road, Prestatyn, which subsequently resulted in one dog being put down due to its injuries. 'Following investigations, the incident has since been resolved via a community resolution between the dog owners.'
