A woman who died after being attacked by dogs in a house has been described as a "one-in-a-million mum" by her family.

Ann Dunn, 65, was killed on Monday in a house on St Brigid's Crescent, Liverpool, which had been listed online for dog breeding.

Ms Dunn's family said: "Life will never be the same without you."

Five American bulldogs, which were inside the house, were handed over and humanely destroyed.

American bulldogs are not one of the four breeds currently banned in the UK.

A man who was arrested on suspicion of owning a dog dangerously out of control was released on conditional bail on Wednesday.
