Farmer devastated after dog attack leaves 40 lambs dead

Key points

• A West Australian farmer has lost 40 lambs and 10 ewes in suspected dog attacks. Brad Cluett farms sheep in Porongurup, 385 kilometres south-east of Perth.
• He believes a domesticated dog is responsible for the attacks, which have been ongoing for months. The attacks have caused significant financial and emotional distress, with some sheep needing to be euthanised and others abandoning their lambs.
• The Shire of Plantagenet is investigating the incidents and may prosecute the dog's owner if found.
