Man whose dog bit a young dancer's nose off in a horror attack has been ordered to pay £600 compensation.Callum Campbell's Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Boston pounced on the nine-year-old at his mother's home in Glasgow's Maryhill on June 16 2022.Boston jumped on top of the girl, pulled her from a chair and dragged her across the living room floor of the flat.The girl's terrified mother believed the girl had died as she initially did not move when the attack was over.The stricken victim was later taken to hospital where skin was taken from her ear to create a "new nose" for her.Campbell, 24, meantime claimed that his dog was not responsible for the attack.The girl was due to compete in a dance competition two days later but was instead kept in hospital for four nights to recover.Campbell was found guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court being in control of a dog which was dangerously out of control.Sheriff Mary Shields today tagged Campbell for a period of four weeks keeping him indoors between 7pm and 7am as well as imposing the compensation order upon him.The court earlier heard from the girl's 45-year-old mother who visited Campbell's mum.She said: "We were just yapping away as my daughter had a dance competition at the weekend."She was telling (the woman) all about that.

We were just sitting blethering away."The witness stated that atmosphere changed when Campbell entered the kitchen to get a drink.She told the court that Campbell's dog appeared at the door to the living room and stared at them.The witness said: "The dog was like a statue and before I knew it he was on top of me and my wee girl."The woman claimed Campbell’s mum shouted: "Why did you let the dog out?".He replied that he thought he shut the door.Prosecutor
