West Midlands Police have released footage of how officers seize dangerous dogs.
The force says its team of dangerous dog handlers has attended more than 800 incidents involving an out-of-control dog between 1 April and 31 July this year and seized 96 suspected dangerous dogs.
Data released by West Midlands Police showed that they received 1002 reports of crime violating the Dangerous Dogs Act in 2023, with three reports resulting in a charge or summons.
Footage shared by the force shows officers removing a dog from a property.
He Laid Dying, Stuck On Side Of Road But Soon His Past Would No Longer Haunt Him
Alex was ready to give up. He was severely malnourished, dehydrated, and exhausted, and maggots infested his wounds.He was on his deathbed. The worst part was that he was stuck in a remote location on the side of a road, with no way of escaping on his own.
He was stuck because he wore a collar with a long chain. To make matters worse, he was completely indistinguishable from the road. He had only a remote chance of being rescued in time.
But little did he know that his life was about to improve dramatically and that his past would no longer haunt him. A person named Alex (after whom the pup is named) noticed the fading pup while cleaning the area.
He immediately sought help from the Feed Friends Foundation, a local animal rescue. They agreed to take him in and found him a wonderful foster home in Alle Hadoc to care for him while he recovered physically and mentally.
His road to recovery would be long and difficult, but neither Alex nor his supporters would give up. He met new dogs and kitties at his foster home who showed him the ropes and helped him along the way. Alex was a wonderful dog who adored every animal he encountered.
Alex began to heal from the inside out as time passed. The wound on his body and the one on his heart both healed. He found a loving forever home after fully healing and is currently enjoying his second shot at life!
