Dogsey

DOGS will be allowed ‘bail’ under changes being made to section one of the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA).
Previously, dogs suspected of being of banned breeds had to be seized and held by police until the matter went to court.

But under a new clause which seems to have crept in under the radar with no public consultation or Parliamentary debate, police will now have discretion to allow a dog to return home subject to conditions, such as it being kept muzzled and on a lead, neutered, microchipped and insured.
