WE are over-run with foxes in our garden. They come every night – sometimes two or three times – and at times there are two or three at a time.

Last Tuesday one of our dogs was in the garden. She is a miniature Yorkshire terrier aged 13 and is totally deaf. I heard her crying, so I ran to the patio doors to find a fox had her by the scruff of her neck, dragging her like she was a toy.

I just screamed, but the fox never moved.

I had to run out and kick it so it would drop her.

When my dog ran back in the house there was a trail of blood all over my new carpets and she had a hole at both sides of her neck where the fox had grabbed her.

Our garden is fenced off all the way round but foxes just jump over it.

Any ideas how we can get rid of them before they kill my dogs?
