The fate of Emmerdale's beloved canine Piper has been revealed, leaving fans heartbroken.
Viewers will remember how Tom King (James Chase) has been manipulating and mentally tormenting his wife Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) for an extended period. However, Belle recently found the strength to end their marriage.

In Friday's episode (August 16), the villainous Tom stooped to new depths when he attacked Belle's cherished dog Piper. The confrontation occurred at the Woolpack during Sam's (James Hooton) birthday celebration.
Belle stood firm, informing Tom that she would rather he didn't join her family's festivities, which infuriated him. He seized her wrists and began to threaten her, reports the Express.
