Leicestershire Police and the Court and Tribunals Service Centre could not say what had happened to the dog after the incident.
Omg that poor dog. I hope the the dogs been rehomed. If I’d of been there I’d of hit him. Just hope he don’t stay around the town centre.
The police want to take the dog. Omg the police need to take lessons in identifying the dog.
I live in Leicester. I heard the dog was later pts as it was identified as being an XL Bully. Bloody idiots. They should’ve put down the guy Benn Ryan instead. I resent paying my taxes to put a roof over that dickheads head and 3 meals a day in his belly.
RIP beautiful dog
