A MAN from Yate has admitted to owning two dangerously out of control dogs which injured two people.

Andrew Cody, 40, of Celestine Road, has pleaded guilty to owning the dogs – Poppy, a Rottweiler/ American bulldog cross, and Jager, a Dogue Bordeaux/Cain Corso/Presa Canario - which injured two men in Yate.

The incidents occurred on Mountbatten Close and Goose Green Way, between November 19, 2017 and November 23, 2017.

At a hearing at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on April 17, the defendant was informed that if he doesn’t keep his dogs under control, they will be destroyed.

He was ordered to have both dogs neutered, to keep the pair muzzled and on a lead when in public, and to not go within 100 metres of Yate Shopping Centre.

He was also ordered to pay £1,536.87 in compensation and to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.
