“Chihuahua Mauled to Death by Greyhound on Scottish Beach”

A chi­huahua named Pix­ie was mauled to death by a grey­hound while being walked on a lead along Croy Shore Beach near Ayr, Scotland. 

Her own­er, Maya Paton, said the grey­hound “came charg­ing towards her” and ripped Pix­ie from her arms. Pix­ie was only five years old. 

The inci­dent has left the fam­i­ly heart­bro­ken and trau­ma­tized. Paton shared the news on Face­book and urged oth­er dog own­ers to keep their pets on a lead in pub­lic places if they can­not con­trol them or if they do not have good recall. 

The fam­i­ly hopes to raise aware­ness about the impor­tance of respon­si­ble dog own­er­ship to pre­vent sim­i­lar inci­dents from hap­pen­ing in the future.

Pix­ie’s death is a trag­ic reminder of the need for respon­si­ble pet own­er­ship and the impor­tance of keep­ing dogs under con­trol in pub­lic places.
