West Bromwich dog bite owner in court
A dog bit a seven-year-old girl's leg in the street, a court heard.
Its owner, Alina Kujawa, pleaded guilty to letting her dog be out of control in a public place at Sandwell Magistrates Court yesterday.
Mr Roger Bleazard, prosecuting, said the girl was bitten by the dog on Ruskin Street in West Bromwich on August 27, the same street on which Kujawa lives.
Photographs of the girl's injuries were handed to magistrates, showing bruising on the girl's leg after the bite and grazing from where she fell to the floor.
Kujawa, aged 44, pleaded guilty to being the owner of a dog allowing it to be dangerously out of control in a public place and cause injury.
The case was adjourned for inquiries to ascertain if the dog remained a danger to the public.
Kujawa was granted conditional bail until December 20, when she will be sentenced at the same court.
A condition was imposed that she keeps her dog muzzled and on a lead at all times when in public until the next hearing.
