Samuel Jones, aged 29, was taken to Telford Magistrates Court over the ownership of his dog Bella.

It has been illegal to own an XL bully since early 2024 in the UK without a certificate of exemption, which generally includes strict rules, including an obligation on owners to muzzle them and have them on a lead in public.
