I'm appealing for information on behalf of my friend. On Sunday 27th November at 8.30am, my friend was walking her 6 chihuahua's on Hove seafront, opposite the tennis courts. They were on leads, as many are rescue and can be nervous at times.
Walking nearby were 2 women (possibly a mother and daughter) and they had a brindle colored pit bull terrier with them, which was called Roxy. She wasn't on a leash.
The pit bull attacked one of my friend's dogs, which has resulted in her death. It was a vicious attack, which left broken ribs and a hole in her side through which her stomach protruded. She also had a punctured lung.
I am appealing to any one who might know who these ladies and dog are please. This attack was completely unprovoked and my friend has been left heartbroken. We need to ensure that another incident like this doesn't happen again.
If you do have any detail that could help, please contact the police who are aware of this incident.
