The woman fell foul of new Government restrictions on the controversial breed which came into effect at the turn of the year.

Emma Cartwright, 34, of Willenhall, failed to get a valid exemption certificate to go on owning the dog in time although she had made efforts to get one, Dudley Magistrates Court heard on Tuesday.

She was charged with possessing a dangerous dog on May 7.

She pleaded guilty on Tuesday - though the court heard she had approached police herself to ask about getting one.

Prosecutor Mr Amrik Singh laid out the facts.
