This is the shocking moment two cuddly-looking spaniels savagely mauled a helpless lamb to death.

The dogs, which on first glance look nothing like killer beasts, were caught on camera with blood on their mouths in North Wales.

They escaped from a walk along Dinas Dinlle beach in Penygroes and ran into a field to attack sheep on April 23.

A young lamb was seriously injured by the spaniels and subsequently died, police have said.

The horrifying attack was recorded by a farmer who was in the area at the time and alerted the owner of the sheep, Dafydd Jones.
