Couple whose Siberian husky dog mauled their three-month-old baby to death spared jail
She said:"This is a tragic case, and I have no doubt that both of you wish every day you could wind the clock back so that incident never happened.
"I don't believe that this incident was reasonably foreseeable but believe it was a momentary lapse of an otherwise good system.Jeremy Janes, prosecuting, told the court that the defendants were experienced dog owners and regularly raced the animals, which were used for sport in sledging teams, rather than being domestic pets.On the day of the incident he had taken his dogs out for a practice run on a well-known route about three miles long.
After racing seven dogs in Ostler's Plantation, an area of woodland near Woodhall Spa, King returned to his van to swap the sledging teams over, with Blizzard leading the first team.The dogs were transported in a van, the rear of which had been modified to contain lockable cages, and after her practice run, Blizzard was put inside the van to drink.
Blizzard had been bought by King six years earlier, had been racing for three years and was pregnant at the time, Mr Janes said.
