A woman who unknowingly adopted a banned breed had her beloved dog seized by police.
Katie Dunkley, 27, adopted Sage, 12 months old, who was believed to be a Staffordshire bull terrier cross from Hope Rescue in Pontyclun, Wales, on September 10, 2024.
She spent seven months training Sage - bringing her back to full health - and even planned for her pet to become a therapy dog and blood donor.
But, on March 19, Katie got home from work and saw police officers driving down her street - jokingly telling her neighbour "I bet they are for me".
