<p>The offence of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control (section 3 of the
Dangerous Dogs Act 1991) applies to attacks on other dogs, livestock and any other
animals including companion dogs, as it does to attacks on people and assistance dogs.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This is based on the judgement in the Court of Appeal in R
v Gedminintaite [2008] EWCA Crim 814. This case has shown that consideration of a
dog being dangerously out of control is not restricted to situations where a person
is present.</p><p> </p>
