A dog owner wants fellow animal lovers to be aware of the “most dangerous plant” in the country after it is believed to have caused the death of his Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
Stuart Good was walking his beloved pooch Ella when she ran into some bushes and then let out an alarming yelp.
When he returned home, 61-year-old Stuart noticed a pound-coin sized blister under Ella’s leg that then continued to grow.
A Birkenhead vet subsequently confirmed the injuries had been caused by giant hogweed, which has been dubbed “Britain’s most dangerous plant”.
Clive, 49, told the Liverpool Echo that he and his friend Stuart want to warn other dog lovers to keep their pets on a lead and stick to paths during park walks.
