Beloved family cat mauled by wandering dog
To every person living around Dunbeath Cres in the Kew/Kingswell area.
Yesterday afternoon between 4pm and 5pm a dog strayed onto my 27yr old son’s property in Dunbeath Cres. Our gorgeous elderly cat was sleeping on the stones in her front garden when a dog grabbed her back end, thrashed her about, breaking her back, crushing her pelvis and destroying her back legs. Needless to say our darling had to be put down. We are devastated. This was a big dog with a wide jaw. (Puncture marks told the story). Could all dog owners please make sure that your property is secured so your dog can’t wander on their own. If children walk through a gate, double check with them that it is shut properly and the dog can’t get out. To all cat owners, love them dearly, after all, they may not be able to make it back in through your door.
