A woman has denied being in control of a dangerous dog which is alleged to have attacked a 15-year-old boy in Harrogate.
Deborah Patterson, 60, appeared before Harrogate Magistrates Court this morning charged with being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury in the small park at the junction of Skipton Road and Ripon Road on August 1 last year.
The court heard claims the boxer dog bit the teenager on the leg while he was sitting on a bench.
Ms Patterson, of Southville Terrace in Harrogate, was also charged with being the owner of a boxer dog on August 9 on Ripon Road, which is also alleged to have been dangerously out of control.
She denied both charges.
A trial date was set for May 18 at Harrogate Magistrates Court.
