She could spend up to six months behind bars

An Exeter woman has been told she faces a potential jail sentence after three of her German shepherd cross dogs attacked another woman in a playing field.

Sarah Pike, 51, admitted being the owner in charge of dogs dangerously out of control.

It follows an incident at Exwick Playing Fields which left the victim requiring plastic surgery after suffering multiple bite wounds to her hands and fingers.

The prosecutor told Exeter Magistrates' Court it was a "pack attack".

Ms Pike also admitted two charges of being the person in charge of dogs dangerously out of control.

At the time, Zac, Storm and Nala were seized by police, and two other dogs were euthanized.

Ms Pike will be sentenced in September
