Police have issued a warning to dog owners after two dogs reportedly died following walks on a local park in Trafford. Officers said the pets tragically died after being walked on Woodstock Park in Broadheath in Altrincham over the past few weeks.
The dogs had been let off their leads to run in the park and it is believed they may have eaten something from the bushes, police added.
This was not noticed until the dogs became ill after their walks. Police said Trafford Council is aware and officials will be visiting the park.
