Snake kills dog on Welsh beach: Distraught owner warns others as she blames venomous reptile for fatal bite on Springer-Cocker Spaniel

A distraught dog owner has warned others to be alert after blaming Britain’s only venomous snake for killing her pet with a fatal bite.

Three weeks ago Jo Bowen-Jones, from Rhosneigr, Anglesey, lost her dog when it was bitten by an adder, she said.

The grandmother adopted Baxter, a Springer-Cocker spaniel, two years ago after her old dog died of natural causes. 

A favourite walking haunt was common land north of the coastal village that abuts RAF Valley’s runway. It’s an area also popular with plane spotters.

On March 31, they’d crossed a wooden bridge over Afon Crigyll when their outing came to an abrupt end.
