A loyal dog refused to leave its owner's side after he was killed by a falling branch in Storm Ciara. The dog walker in his sixties was hit by the tree on Tuesday while exercising his pet at Black Wood in Woolton, Liverpool, as high winds battered the UK. 'I just thought it was a branch breaking - we don't usually have much trouble with any of the trees. 'There was another dog walker there who offered to take the man's dog, but the police said the dog was being looked after, I don't know who by. 'The ancient woodland belongs to Liverpool City Council and the council will co-operate fully with any subsequent investigation.'
