Overview

• Caernarfon Crown Court on August 29 gave Lisa Grant, 56, an eight-month prison term suspended for 12 months, plus 15 days of rehabilitation and an indefinite ban on keeping animals.
• The case arose from a November 17, 2023 attack at Top Rhos Farm in Rhoshirwaun near Pwllheli after landlord Gwilym Wyn Roberts arrived to collect rent.
• Judge Nicola Jones said the dog, Ricoh, bit multiple people and that Roger Grant suffered life‑threatening, life‑changing injuries, with Roberts also injured.
• Wales Air Ambulance pilot Captain Jon Earp, after consulting a police inspector, borrowed a neighbouring farmer’s shotgun and fired four times when the first shot had no effect.
• The judge said the pilot’s actions saved a life and he will be formally commended, while the RSPCA has rehomed Grant’s remaining dogs and housing provider Adra has rehoused her.
