A DOG owner could be jailed after his pit bull savaged two young girls in Liverpool.
Denis Bowker was slammed by district judge Michael Ableson after admitting his pet attacked nine-year-old Nikkita Douglas and pal Marnie McKenzie, 12, as they played in Norris Green.
Judge Ableson backed the ECHO's Biteback campaign to crack down on terror dogs after hearing how the two girls were savaged.
Bowker, 56, of Norris Green Crescent, was charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act for allowing his pet to injure someone while out of control in a public place.
