Dog owners are being warned about the dangers of not keeping their dog on a leash or knowing where they are during the day after a sheep was attacked in Wales.

The attack was caught on camera by the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team and while the incident did not happen in Ireland, it is a bleak reminder of the damage a dog or dogs can do to sheep.

In a tweet, the crime team shared the video and viewer discretion is advised.

The video shows the three dogs attacking the sheep and what appears to be the owners of the dogs on the hill further away.

The crime team is appealing to the public after the sheep attack which happened on Great Orme, Llandudno, Wales.

“Distinctive three dogs with bright different colour bright harnesses. Owner on top walks away we think [sic].”

At the time they were tweeting the video, the sheep had survived, so far, they said.
