Monaghan's veterinary officer is urging dog owners to keep their dogs under control at all times following two recent sheep attacks.
The attacks were reported to the Dog Warden in the Annyalla and Magheracloone area.
Brendan Smyth says there are many attacks on sheep by dogs in the county, particularly around lambing time.

He added that these attacks cause great cruelty to sheep and lambs, and result in serious losses for the farmer.
Mr Smyth is reminding dog owners that they must ensure their dog is licenced, tagged, microchipped, and under control.
