Piper was killed by a staffie owned by Robert Dalton.
A Staffie which killed a tiny Papillon as children walked past on their way to school in Dunfermline has been spared a death sentence.
Owner Robert Dalton has been warned the “powerfully-built” pet must be kept leashed and muzzled from now on to prevent another attack.
He was also ordered to pay compensation to the Papillon’s owner, Joy Kennedy who had tried in vain to fight off Dalton’s dog.
Piper the papillon.
Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard on Wednesday Dalton, who was not present in court, is willing to comply with the order.
