Police have confirmed that they are investigating a dog attack at the same address where a 72-year-old woman was fatally injured by a family pet last year.
Dyfed-Powys police said that they were called to an address in Stop and Call, Goodwick, at around 5pm on Thursday, November 17, following a dog attack.
Two people were taken to hospital following the attack and four American bulldogs seized.
Local reports said that up to eight emergency vehicles were called to the address on Thursday.
A Welsh Ambulance spokesperson said that an ambulance was initially called to the incident but subsequently stood down by the police.

“Two people were taken to hospital, one with minor and one with serious injuries. Both have since been discharged.
