A 37-year-old Wigan man is accused of owning a banned pit bull.
Scott Yates, 37, of Linney Square, Scholes, appeared at the borough's law courts facing a single charge under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act that he had an outlawed fighting dog on October 13.
He has yet to enter a plea and the case was adjourned until February 21 when he will return to the same court.
