His barrister Herc Ashworth said Beau had been tethered by a rope lead but the leather handle had ripped and broken as he lunged at the child.
He said: "This is a terrible case but it was a momentary loss of control. It was an isolated incident."
It should be, yes, because the dog should be getting a one-way trip to the vet but probably won't be since the dog is clearly allowed one bite, since the idiot magistrates probably think 'Well, I won't be going to that pub...'
Beau, who is currently in kennels, was given a contingent destruction order by the court which means he will be neutered, have behavioural training and only be allowed out in public on a muzzle and lead.
One that's not frayed?
Exeter magistrates sentenced him to a 12-month-long community order with 100 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay £680 costs, including £500 compensation to the injured child.
Exeter again? What the hell is wrong with the place?
