Cliff Clarke - killed by a dog in Liverpool, England

Cliff Clarke
Cliff Clarke, age 79, died on May 25, 2013, in Liverpool, England.

He died in his own backyard, bitten to death by a dog.

Cliff was a retired hospital porter, living alone.

He had opened his kitchen door, as he was cooking a roast dinner, when a cross-breed bull mastiff belonging to a neighbour, attacked him.

Neighbours dialled 999 and one went to the aid of Cliff, using a golf club to keep dog at bay.

Family members describe Cliff as a very easy going man, who was helpful to others.

They are heartbroken over the death of this man in this way.

The dog that carried out the attack was destroyed at the scene by a police marksman who fired two shots. Two other dogs which were in the garden were impounded.

Two women, aged 27 and 28, who are the dogs owners, have been released on bail after being questioned under suspicion of manslaughter and offences under the Dangerous Dog Act.

God save us from people who value dogs more than human beings. Amen.

It is time in England for a real evaluation of dog ownership laws in that country.

Death by dog is not acceptable in a civilized country. 

Cliff is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his brother, Kenny.

Pray that Cliff is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
