Fines, enforcement and how dog wardens are deployed will all be scrutinised as part of Government plans to prevent further “devastating” and “deeply disturbing” dog attacks in local communities.

A meeting of ministers has decided that a working group of “all the key players” will be brought together to review what actions are needed to keep both people and animals safe.
