The heartbroken family of a British mother who died after contracting rabies from a stray puppy during a holiday to Morocco has shared a poignant video of her before she was struck down by the disease.

Grandmother Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, became ill two weeks ago and steadily deteriorated until her death this week, after suffering a minor scratch from a puppy in February.

Her daughter, Robyn Thomson, 32, a neo-natal nurse, paid tribute to her mother - known as 'Bon' - in a moving post, and urged others to treat even the tiniest scratch with caution.

She also shared a video of her mother dancing taken less than two weeks before her death.

Ms Ford appears healthy, energetic and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself - jumping around and punching her hands in the air.
