Sheriff Andrew Cubie said: "Poppy was let out inadvertently and went to the girl, maybe attracted by the flowers in her hair."The geometry of the nature of the injury was considered as a strike of a dog bite. Poppy was responsible for that injury.
The witness said that his daughter was later put into a neighbour’s garden while Poppy was allowed back out to do the toilet. He stated that the dog barked at her from through the fence before being put back into the house. He stated that a woman at the scene put her finger in Poppy’s mouth as he tried to get the dog off the girl. The man added: “I lifted the dog up and threw it down the bottom of the garden to get my daughter.
