Owner of Cane Corso in Hull City Centre Attack Given Suspended Sentence

The court is seeking details on the Cane Corso before deciding any control order or ban.

Overview

  • Annilise Davies, 20, pleaded guilty at Hull Crown Court to being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control that caused injury on May 3.
  • She received an eight-month suspended prison term and was ordered to complete 10 days of rehabilitation, with no immediate prohibition on owning or controlling dogs.
  • The Cane Corso had been tied outside a phone shop for about an hour and a half, and its muzzle slipped before it lunged at a passerby on King Edward Street.
  • The victim was knocked to the ground, suffered two pelvic fractures and 12 puncture wounds to her hand and wrist, and was advised to use a walking frame for six weeks.
  • Police transported the injured woman to Hull Royal Infirmary after the ambulance service declined to attend, and Davies later handed the dog to a male friend.
