‘Dangerously out of control’ dogs seized from Bristol house after reports of people being bitten

Two dogs were seized from an address in Hengrove as part of an investigation into reports of dogs dangerously out of control.

The seized dogs are believed to be a Cane Corso and an XL American Bully. The householders told officers that a third dog had been put down since the complaints were made in June and July.

Sergeant Chris Downham said: “This action has been taken after members of the public reported issues to us, including being bitten while making deliveries.

“The aim is to ensure the welfare of the dogs and the safety of the public while we progress our investigation.

“Owning a dog is a big responsibility and owners must be aware of consequences should their dogs become out of control.”
