Fri, 18 Apr 2008

A judge has ruled that a Rottweiler dog which attacked a nine year old girl must be destroyed. The attack occurred at a New Year’s Eve party at the girl’s neighbour’s house in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and left the girl needing surgery on her facial injuries . The girl was rushed to Sheffield Children’s hospital following the incident and received plastic surgery .

The three year old dog called Bully was seized by police at the time and Judge John Foster at Rotherham Magistrates’ Court approved a police application for the dog to be put down. The dog’s owner now has 21 days to appeal against the decision.
