Dog owners have been urged to keep their pets on a lead on beaches after a seal had to be put down after being bitten.

Television presenter Professor Ben Garrod was running along Caister beach at 5.30pm on Thursday, February 10 when he saw a grey seal pup being bitten by a dog that was off its lead.
After getting control of the dog and returning it to owners, Mr Garrod contacted British Divers Marine Life Rescue who sent out a trained marine mammal medic.
