A 'lovely and funny' grandmother who was mauled to death by five American bulldogs had been treated in hospital for dog bites a year before she was killed in the horrific attack, it has emerged.
Ann Dunn, 65, died at a dog breeding property in Liverpool on Monday evening after being mauled by 'multiple' dogs described by Merseyside Police as American Bulldog breed.
Five canines were later taken from the property by police and 'humanely destroyed'.
The tragedy comes after Ms Dunn required hospital treatment in August last year after suffering a number of bites from a large dog, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries, The Liverpool Echo reported.
It is unclear if the dog that attacked her last summer was involved in her death.
