Owner ordered to keep dog under control

A dog owner has been ordered to keep his pet under control after it bit passers-by on two separate occasions.

Robin Williams, of Westbourne Drive, Douglas, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 54-year-old admitted two counts of owning a dog which injured another person.

On September 20, Williams was walking Catalan sheep dog Bruce near his home when the dog bit a man on the thigh - and on November 23 Bruce bit another passer-by on the leg, leaving several bite marks.

An order was made for Williams to keep Bruce under proper control and he was also ordered to pay £50 costs.
