A pet dog has been put down after its owner admitted she failed to stop it from savaging a Wigan schoolboy.
Julie Knight, 55, of Barn Lane in Golborne, had previously appeared before borough magistrates to plead guilty to being in charge of a grey Weimaraner which attacked a named youngster on April 15 in Legh Street, Golborne, and that she didn't do anything to prevent it.
The hearing was told that the dog, called Hugo, has since been destroyed.
