Man banned from owning dogs after woman bitten in street
A HOBBY breeder has been banned from owning or looking after dogs for five years after a woman was bitten while walking down the street. Damien Firth was tasked with looking after Apollo, an American bulldog, while the dog’s owner was in prison. But the canine attacked a woman and her small dog who were walking past his Callands home after the 33-year-old left his garden gate unlocked. Firth, of Granston Close, appeared to be sentenced at Warrington Magistrates’ Court after pleading guilty to a charge of being in charge of dangerously out of control dog which caused injury.
