A BULLY proprietor was convicted in courtroom after his canine left a lady of 4 with a gap in her head.
Thomas McStay, 46, appeared on as his crazed pet Poppy savaged the terrified baby.
Glasgow Sheriff Court heard the mutt escaped from its standard spot at his home in the city’s Royston and ran in the direction of her.
It sank its jaws into the lady’s hair and shook her whereas her determined dad tried to intervene throughout a backyard barbecue bash.
The dad or mum, 30, mentioned: “It pounced on my daughter.
“She was on her back.
“The dog had a full clump of hair in its mouth and was shaking about aggressively.
“Everyone was screaming to get Poppy off of her.”
The dad added: “I lifted the dog up and threw it down to the bottom of the garden.
“I lifted my daughter up and the dog came back, barking.

“I noticed the blood gushing from the back of her head.
“She had a swimming costume on and everything was red with blood.”
Prosecutor Hazel Kerr requested him what McStay was doing throughout the attack.
He mentioned: “I was trying to get the dog off and he was just standing there.
The child was taken to A&E, where the dad saw her wound.
He said: “It looked like a hole and indentation on her head.”
McStay was discovered responsible of getting a “dangerously out of control” pocket American Bully in July 2022.
Sheriff Andrew Cubie will sentence him in April.
