A woman sobbed in the dock as she appeared in court and denied owning an XL Bully called Cookie which mauled her father-in-law to death at her home. Keven Jones, 65, took his final breath while saying 'I'm going' after he was bitten while dog-sitting. The former lorry driver had offered to help look after five pet dogs while his son Josh went to watch his team Wrexham play at Wembley in London for a football match.
Ambulance staff desperately tried to save him, but efforts to stop the bleeding in his left leg failed and he was declared dead at his son's house in Wrexham, North Wales. Josh's wife Chanel Fong, 31, appeared in court today accused of being the owner of Cookie, who the prosecution said was 'dangerously out of control at the time.'.
She sobbed in the dock at Mold Crown Court as she said 'not guilty'. Mr Jones suffered leg injuries in May 2022 from which he later died after being bitten by the dog. Cookie, a two-year-old American Bully, was one of five dogs owned by Mr Jones' son Josh.
