A woman is to stand trial accused of failing to control a Rottweiler dog that seriously injured a 10-year-old.
Kim Wilson, 40, is accused of being in charge of the dog - called Rebel - when it was dangerously out of control on two separate occasions.
The 40-year-old, of Alderford Common at Swannington, near Lenwade, pleaded not guilty at Norwich Crown Court to two charges that she was in charge of a dog dangerously out of control that caused injury.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment.

The case relates to incidents on April 13 and October 14 in 2022 when the dog is said to have injured a boy, who was aged 10 at the time but is now 11, at her home address.
Judge Alice Robinson set a date for a trial expected to last three days to take place on July 7 next year. She granted her unconditional bail.
A previous court hearing was told the injuries suffered by the boy had been “serious”.
