A dog control notice has been issued by Fife Council’s dog warden meaning the Staffies must be kept on lead and muzzled in public places.John, 76, said: “We feel unbelievably let down by the authorities.

These two dogs have been involved in attacks before.“They were living in the same house but were apparently owned by someone else.

If they’d been muzzled following the first attacks, our Missy wouldn’t have been killed.“They’re clearly dangerous. What happens if they escape?

Will they kill another dog? Or worse?“The dogs that tore Missy to pieces are just allowed to keep living in a house just 100 yards away from ours.
