Pony suffers broken leg and ripped face in suspected dog attack *warning: graphic image*

The owner of a pony who had to be put down after he sustained a broken leg and “ripped” face in a suspected dog attack wants dog owners to take responsibility for their pets.

Erica Wilson’s 15-year-old miniature Shetland Chutney was found severely injured in his field in Worcestershire on Saturday (19 January).

Erica told H&H: “I rang the vet and went straight to the yard – as soon as I saw Chutney it was obvious he had broken his leg and his face had been ripped. His face could have been treated but the vet said ‘I’m so sorry, his leg’s broken’ so he was put to sleep.”
