TWO sheep have been destroyed after being worried by a dog at a Teigngrace farm.

Farmers Muriel and Brian Quantick are now urging anyone seeing strange dogs in the area around the farm to raise the alarm.

The ewes were discovered at Blatchford Farm on Wednesday morning still alive but with serious leg injuries.

Police have warned dog owners they are obliged to keep their animals under control and that farmers are legally allowed to shoot any dog they see attacking livestock.
