At her wedding, the woman who later died from a dog attack had her Labrador as a special guest.

Marie Stevens, a 40-year-old care home worker, had a very special guest when she said "I Do" to her husband Mark. Her loyal companion, a chocolate Labrador, was by her side as the two exchanged vows.

Just three weeks after the celebration of her marriage, Marie tragically passed away due to a pulmonary embolism, leaving her family, friends, and colleagues devastated.

People who knew Marie described her as 'bubbly and happy' and said she had a great love of animals, especially dogs. This was proven when she was bitten by two Rottweilers while trying to stroke them on August 18th. Even though the owners attempted to pull the dogs away, Marie was left with bites on her arms and legs.

Although medical assistance was provided to her, Marie sadly passed away on Sunday, 3rd September.

Friends of Marie shared their sorrow on Facebook, with one saying “She really loved her dog and animals in general. It is awful what has happened to her.” Another recalled her kindness, saying “Marie was the kindest most loving lady I’ve ever met.”

In response to the incident, a 41-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of having an out-of-control dog in a public place.

Marie Steven's life was cut short far too soon, but it is clear that her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
