The daughter of a British woman who died of rabies after she was scratched by a puppy on holiday has spoken of her mother's 'horrendous' death.
Yvonne Ford, 59, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, was scratched on the leg by a small stray puppy lying under her sunbed while on holiday in Morocco with her husband in February - but thought nothing of it at the time.
Many months later, the grandmother-of-four started suffering from a 'horrendous' headache and was admitted to Barnsley Hospital.
Within days, she could not walk, talk, sleep or swallow. She started hallucinating, and developed a fear of water.
Yvonne was transferred to Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield where she was eventually diagnosed with the rare but devastating virus. She died on June 11.
