In 2019, Anita Medhi had her pet, Lola - an 18-month-old American Bulldog/Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross - seized without warning by police from her home in Middlesbrough.

This was because it looked like one of four types of dogs banned under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act - Pit Bull Terriers, Japanese Tosas, Fila Brasileiros or Dogo Argentinos.

A court ruled that Lola posed no threat to the public and could therefore be placed on an exemption index and returned home to its owner.
However, the fact the dog shared some of the same characteristics as a Pit Bull Terrier meant that she must still wear a lead and a muzzle at all times when outside.

Campaigners such as Ms Medhi are now calling for reform of the Dangerous Dogs Act, with her recent petition now signed by 50,000 people urging ministers to change the law.

'This is dog racism, how can you determine a dog to be dangerous by its look?' she asked.

Was the owner justified in pulling out the race card? Does dog racism exist?
