Don't miss a thing by getting the day's biggest stories sent direct to your inbox A Wythenshawe artist who created a powerful tribute to the victims of the Manchester Arena bomb attack sobbed in court as judges told her that she could keep her ‘dangerous dog’.

Her dog, named Roo, has previously attacked two nearby dog walkers this year — as the American bulldog has a ‘stimulus’ from her past to react aggressively with small breeds, experts say.

Now, Michelle Howard, of Cadnam Drive, Wythenshawe, will be allowed to keep her dog — so long as she satisfies several conditions to ensure it does not harm others.

In the first of the two incidents, a neighbour of Howard’s, found the dog running around her living room at 4pm on February 9.
