Macaulay Harrison is handed a 12-month community order over the dog attack in Handsworth Road.

Savannah Bentham was fatally attacked by an XL bully dog at her home near Malton, a coroner says.

He believes his pet should have been returned sooner, having passed temperament tests in kennels.

South Yorkshire Police call for dog owners to “step up before someone dies”.

Two men were also injured as they tried to intervene when the dog attacked the girl in September 2023.

Police say they seized an XL bully and arrested its owner for having dogs dangerously out of control.

The attack only stopped when neighbours who had heard the victim's screams came to help, police say.

North Yorkshire Police say family pet had Certificate of Exemption under new rules and was neutered.
