The owners of a prize-winning Irish setter who they claim was poisoned at the world famous Crufts dog show have spoken of their loss.
Jagger, who died in Belgium the day after appearing at the show in Birmingham, was owned by Belgian Aleksandra Lauwers and Leicester-based breeder Dee Milligan-Bott.
Ms Lauwers wrote on her Facebook page: "To person (sic) who has done it, hope you can sleep well knowing you have killed our love, family member and best friend to our son."
Ms Milligan-Bott described the dog's painful death as a "heinous crime" claiming poisoned beef cubes were discovered after an autopsy, although a full toxicology report has yet to be released.
In a post on her Facebook page Ms Milligan-Bott said: "This (poisoning) resulted in a very painful death for our beautiful boy.
"The timings from the autopsy will make it clear the only place this could have been given to Jagger was while on his bench at Crufts."
Appealing for information to find the person responsible she said she was hopeful a fellow competitor was not involved.
"We can't and we won't think that this was the act of another exhibitor, if we thought this we couldn't go on, and the last 30 years would be a complete waste," she said.
"So I ask all of you to unite in finding the perpetrator who did this, and let's continue to produce and breed our gorgeous dogs who we are all so proud of."
Police in Belgium have launched an investigation and CCTV footage is being analysed from the event.
The Kennel Club, which organises the Crufts show, released a statement confirming the dog's death.
"The Kennel Club is deeply shocked and saddened to hear that Jagger the Irish Setter died some 26 hours after leaving Crufts," it said.
"We have spoken to his owners and our heartfelt sympathies go out to them.
"We understand that the toxicology report is due next week and until that time we cannot know the cause of this tragic incident."
Crufts presenter Clare Balding said the situation is "awful for all concerned".
The four-day show finished on Sunday, with Scottish Terrier Knopa named Best In Show.
