Dog owners whose pets harm others should be jailed for at least six months, according to strict new guidelines.
Its updated rules set a standard of six months in prison for anyone in charge of a dog which is dangerously out of control and injures a person or other animal.
The most serious cases, such as repeated attacks or where the victim is a child or elderly, should be punished more severely, with 18 months in jail.
The new rules also suggest that owners who let their dogs run dangerously out of control should face six months in jail even if no one is injured.

AFAIC it's most often the owner who makes a dog dangerous, so I'm glad to see they will now be facing prison.
