Under the DDA 1991, owners convicted of having either an ‘illegal dog’ or a dog which has injured a person for any reason, no matter how minor the injury, could have received a criminal record, up to £5000 fine and up to six months in prison. The dog would have been destroyed.

So why the heck do people get away with keeping a dog which has inflicted a minor injury? Then the dog goes on to inflict major injuries or kill. My Dad always used to say that once a dog had tasted blood it was no longer a pet and should be put down.
