Owner cleared over alleged XL Bully attack on pregnant woman
BBCA dog owner has been found not guilty of having a dangerous dog which badly hurt a pregnant woman in Aberdeenshire.
Cheryl Cowe, 35, was charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act over an incident involving an XL Bully the Udny Station area in December last year.
Alisha Skene, 35, told a trial at Aberdeen Sheriff Court she had been seven months pregnant at the time and suffered serious injuries, blaming Mrs Cowe's dog Bruno. However Mrs Cowe said in evidence it was Ms Skene's own Staffordshire bull terrier Hugo which caused the injuries.
Sheriff Eric Brown said there was a direct contradiction in the two versions of events, and found Mrs Cowe not guilty of the two charges she faced.
