Ellie the dog was ordered to be destroyed but its owner avoided jail
The Royal Mail worker had been delivering mail to Adele Cassidy's post-box, attached to her fence, when he was savaged by her dog, Ellie. The 57-year-old appeared in Minshull Street Crown Court on Wednesday, October 18, where she pleaded guilty to being an owner in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury.
Her dog was destroyed, after the court heard that the 57-year-old had previously been told to lock Ellie in a cage and undergo animal training following an attack in 2020. The man, who has been working as a postman for 21 years, was delivering his usual route in Lymm. In a statement, he said: "In my job I have been nipped by a dog before and class it as an occupational hazard. However, never in my 21 years have I been subject to such a vicious attack. What would have happened if it had done the same thing to a small child?"
