Dogsey

A pet owner was forced to watch as a neighbour's dog burst through her front door and savaged her tiny pet to death.

Julie Davies, 55, was in the kitchen cooking dinner at her flat in Highworth, Wiltshire, when the vicious Rottweiler-Bullmastiff cross burst into the family home through the open door,

It lunged at Ms Davies' Yorkshire Terrier Maltest cross Pepe - which was cowering under the table - and killed it instantly.

Ms Davis had left the kitchen door open to allow a breeze through her flat on one of the hottest days of the year.

'The owner of the dog arrived 15 minutes later, before the police.

'He didn't seem to care or show any remorse. He just said it was his girlfriend's dog and it had nothing to do with him.

'When we told him our dog had been killed, all he could say was "It's only a dog." He just kept saying it's not his problem.
