She is now understood to be in a stable condition in hospital. Officers seized four dogs and nine puppies on Sunday, and say they have recovered a further four dogs today.
As part of the investigation, a van has also been found in south Manchester and is being examined. READ MORE: Another weekend of bloodshed in Greater Manchester as nearly 30 people stabbed and one shot dead THIS YEAR Three people have been arrested on suspicion of owning a dangerous dog.
