At 8ins in height Lucy the Daschund doesn't look the most fearsome of creatures.
But she faces being destroyed under the Dangerous Dogs Act if owner Melanie Hobson is convicted of allowing her to run amok.
Mother-of-two Melanie appeared at Newcastle Magistrates Court last week where she pleaded not guilty to having a dog dangerously out of control in a public place.
Melanie said she felt like a criminal when she appeared at magistrates court and found the whole experience frightening.
"It was awful, I'm not a criminal. On the face of it, it is funny - I mean a sausage dog a dangerous dog?
"But then the reality is I'm in court and the children could lose their best friend if Lucy is put down."
