Blind man bites guide dog
February 24, 2005 - 10:32AM
A blind man who allegedly bit his guide dog was arrested by Scottish police today.
David Todd is accused of sinking his teeth into the animal's head in a busy street in Edinburgh.
An eyewitness told Lothian and Borders Police the 34-year-old dragged the bitch across the road before biting its head and kicking its body.
Todd is facing charges of breach of the peace and animal cruelty for the alleged attack earlier this month close to Edinburgh's Meadowbank Retail Park.
The eight-year-old labrador/retriever cross was taken into protective care by police and handed over to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
