AS lambing season approaches, gardaí in Donegal have once again reminded dog owners to keep their pets under control at all times.
In an appeal on social media, the public was urged to keep their dogs away from lambing ewes, as they are easily distressed.
A garda spokesperson said: “By being a responsible dog owner, you can help prevent vicious attacks on defenceless sheep and on their lambs.

“With dog ownership comes responsibility.
“Secure your dog, have it microchipped and registered with your vet.
“Please keep your family pet under effectual control.”
