Ellie the German Shepherd was ordered to be destroyed. Its owner, Adele Cassidy, has avoided jail
A woman has avoided jail after her German Shepherd savagely clamped its jaws around a postman's arm before biting him to the buttocks. Adele Cassidy, 57, had been ordered to keep her dog, Ellie, in a securely locked cage and undergo animal training after a previous attack in 2020.
Minshull Street Crown Court heard that on August 5 last year, the man, who has been working as a postman for 21 years at the Royal Mail, was delivering his usual route in Lymm. At around 12.30pm, he was walking down the open drive of a neighbouring property to put some post in Cassidy’s postbox which was attached to her fence, when he heard a dog barking from within her garden.
He dropped to the grass and felt faint and in shock, before managing to drive back to the post office in Altrincham. There was blood on his shirt and shorts, and he was later rushed to hospital where he was treated for serious injuries to his hands. Representing herself, Cassidy said she believed she complied with the court order after buying a ‘high quality’ cage with a roof and lock mechanism. “I was in a rush, I think I just pushed it an inch too far and it didn’t lock,” she said.
