Christopher Bell, 45, has pleaded guilty to owning a dog that caused the fatal injuries of Ian Langley, 54, during an attack in Shiney Row, near Sunderland.

The case underscores the serious consequences of failing to control dangerous dog breeds, especially following the recent legislative changes regarding XL bully ownership.
