A grandmother has become the first woman in Britain to be prosecuted over the XL Bully ban - a year after she rescued the dog when it was dumped close to death at the seaside.

Jodie Fitzpatrick has become the first woman in Britain to be ordered to have her XL Bully destroyedBleu was ordered to be destroyed by JPs at Sefton after Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty to possessing a fighting dog. Sefton Magistrates' Court heard Fitzpatrick - who lives off state benefits - got just £300 per month in income and could not afford to apply for the registration which would have exempted the dog from being automatically put to sleep.

Chris Howard, prosecuting, said: 'The incident was on February 18 of this year. Police attended the home address of the defendant in relation to an unrelated matter. Whilst at the address police identified a large dog which was locked in one of the rooms.
