A man has appeared in court charged with owning a dog which was dangerously out of control.
Craig Grange, 22, of Blackmoorfoot Road, Huddersfield, also faces a second charge of possessing a fighting dog contrary to section one of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
Kirklees Magistrates’ Court heard the pit bull dog had attacked a young girl on July 10 in Beech Avenue, Golcar.
A court order means the girl cannot be identified.
No plea was entered and the defendant was granted unconditional bail and told to appear again on January 9.
