The dog had been seized by Belfast City Council over fears it was a banned breed

Hank the dog is returning home today.

It's after the pet was seized by wardens at Belfast City Council.

A member of the public complained of alleged mistreatment.

However, there was an applause in court today as a judge permitted the animal to return home later this afternoon.

A number of conditions have been put in place and Hank will have to wear a muzzle and a lead.

The pet's owners Leonard Collins and Joanne Meadows say they're delighted and have thanked the public, media and politicians for their support.
