An 18-year-old woman is reported to the procurator fiscal after a dog attack in East Kilbride.
A teenage girl has been reported to the procurator fiscal after an XL bully-type dog injured three people and another dog in East Kilbride.
From Friday, it will be illegal to sell, advertise, give as a gift or exchange XL bully dogs in Scotland. A second stage of safeguards due to come in later this year will mean that from 1 August it will be an offence to own an XL bully without an exemption certificate or without having applied for an exemption certificate.
"Whilst dog attacks remain a rare occurrence, where they do occur, they can have devastating consequences which is why safeguards must be introduced," she said.
