Jack Fincham Wins Appeal Against Dangerous Dog Sentence

Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has successfully appealed a six-week prison sentence for dangerous dog offences, specifically related to his black cane corso named Elvis. The initial sentence was deemed unjust by Judge Samantha Leigh, who instead extended an existing suspended sentence from a prior unrelated driving offence by three months. The incidents involved Fincham's dog biting a runner in September 2022 and later grabbing a woman's leg in June 2024, though the latter caused no injury. Fincham had admitted to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog and was released on conditional bail pending the appeal. The judge's ruling emphasized that the original activation of the suspended sentence was not appropriate under the circumstances. Fincham was also ordered to pay a total of £3,680 in fines and compensation linked to the dog incidents.
