There is a new campaign underway to urge people to be aware of their dogs at all times.
Dog attacks can bring 'injury, death and trauma' to a flock of sheep.
That's the warning from Offaly Junior Agriculture Minister and Sheep Farmer Pippa Hackett, as a new national campaign aims to raise awareness of the harm out of control dogs can do to both other animals and humans.
The 'It’s not your dog’s fault, it’s yours,' initiative has been launched today and will run until the end of May.
Minister Hackett says it's important to remain vigilant during lambing season:
