Two dogs have been seized by police after a pet beagle was mauled to death. Chester had been let off his lead in a field in Eccles, Greater Manchester, while he was out with his dog walker, Janet Payne, 39, on Wednesday. He was in the middle of the field being pulled all over the place,” Ms Payne said. “The little boy was being torn to pieces.” The dogs’ owner, Paul Baxter, 35, managed to control them, but Chester had died. His owner, Jennifer Thorley, 29, said that the two dogs should be put down.
