A pet dog has died after becoming impaled on a stick protruding from the ground in a popular Northumberland walking spot.
Gary Percy was walking Reign, a seven-year-old Springer Spaniel, along with his two other dogs at woods in Bedlington's Gallagher Park - known locally as the Plantation.
Mr Percy has walked his dogs in the woods for decades - but on March 9, tragedy struck when Reign was fatally injured by the spear-like stick coming from the ground.
