A dog owner has been ordered to keep her rottweiler on a lead at all times and muzzle him when he is walked after it bit another woman on the buttocks.

Kim Poynter’s dog Max bit Alison Brown on the bottom in Grain High Street earlier this year and was summoned to court over the matter.

At the time of the incident, which happened in April, Miss Brown, who is a mother, said she turned away from the dog but it jumped up at her bit her on the backside.

She spoke out calling for the dog to be put down.

Ms Brown, who lives on the Isle of Grain, said at the time: “I was really scared at the time and later had to go Medway Maritime Hospital, to have the wound treated.

“I have had some communication with the owner on Facebook and she has said she will muzzle the dog when it is out but I think this is not good enough.

“What if the dog attacks someone else, especially a child?”

Max’s owner, Poynter, 42, who lives in Pannell Road, also on the Isle of Grain, was summons court and pleaded guilty to owning a dog dangerously out of control, when she appeared in the dock at Medway Magistrates’ Court.

Magistrates placed her on a 12-month community order and ordered she keep Max on a lead at all times so she can be in proper control of him and he also has to wear a muzzle in public at all times.

The bench also ordered Max cannot be walked on his lead by anyone under the age of 16.

She was also ordered to pay Ms Brown £50 compensation and £105 court costs.

Poynter previously said: “I have apologised to Alison on several occasions.

“It was out of character for Max. He has never bitten anyone before. He is not a vicious dog and I have promised when I take him for a walk from now on, he will be muzzled at all times.

“I am also undertaking more training with him.”
