On 14 July 2016, "Hank", a mixed breed pet dog, was seized in Belfast Northern Ireland under legislation which bans pit bull type dogs. Hank was neither the first nor the last dog to be seized under breed specific provisions of the Dangerous Dogs Act, but he was one of those who got the most publicity. Fortunately, Hank was spared the death penalty which many "of type" dogs receive. And fortunately, his case was adjudicated more quickly than many.
