GOOD DOG ...GET HER

SICKENING WORDS OF THUG JAILED FOR SETTING XL BULLY ON 'PEACEMAKER'

- ANDREW BARDSLEY

A THUG set his XL bully on a defenceless woman and encouraged it to attack her during a terrifying ordeal.

Liam Rainey took his dog's muzzle off before it jumped on her and bit her on the arm and chest.

After regaining control of the animal, Rainey then said 'good dog, get her, before it attacked her for a second time in the street.

The horrifying attack occurred after the victim had become embroiled in a row between Rainey and his girlfriend, Manchester Crown Court heard.

"This was a terrifying ordeal," Judge Sarah Johnston told 26-year-old Rainey, as she sentenced him to three years in prison. "You deliberately used your dog as a weapon, in what became a sustained attack on a defenceless woman who was wounded by your animal on your instruction."

Rainey was also banned from owning a dog for five years. "I regard the dog as one of your victims as well," the judge told him.
