Couple jailed after dangerous dog attacks child

A couple's Japanese Akita attacked a child and left them with a large wound to the face, a court has heard.

Kayleigh Godbert, 39, and Thomas Moir, 38, admitted being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog called Nuqe which bit the youngster at least six times.

Judge Simon Mills said the child was "lucky" to be alive and described one laceration as "absolutely awful".

The couple, who appeared at Mold Crown Court in Flintshire, were jailed for 18 months and banned from keeping a dog for seven years.
