WATCH: Roaming dogs raise concerns in Morningside

DOGS roaming the streets of Morningside have been blamed for killing cats at blocks of flats in the area.

Resident, Heidi Raw, said the dogs, which appeared to be pitbulls, are either stray or are let out in the early hours of the morning, and travel all over Morningside.

She said a cat had been killed by the dogs at Kirkwood Gardens Housing Estate, and there had been other reports of cats killed in other blocks of flats in the area.

Raw recorded a video of the dogs as she followed them on 19 August.

The video shows how the dogs seem to know exactly where they are going.
