After the dog, named Tony, was abandoned at a filming location and tethered to a pole, the injured victim described to the judge how it leaped at him.
He said, “I looked up and there was something flapping in my eye,” describing the events that followed. Then, Mr. Gerrard rolled up his sleeves to reveal to the jurors further wounds he had sustained while fending off the beast.
The show’s set rigger, Dillimore, 49, left Tony on location in the east part of the city and drove back to his Stirling accommodations for the evening, according to evidence presented at the Glasgow Sheriff Court trial.
The site manager for the fantasy drama called and asked him to come get his pet.
However, the stray dog later sprang at Mr. Gerrard, biting him on both the face and body.
Upon hearing about the mauling from Mr. Gerrard the following day, Dillimore attempted to place the blame on the victim.
“That’s impossible, you must have kicked the dog,” he remarked.
The dog was merely having fun. It would cause greater harm if he truly had feelings for you.

Dillimore was confronted by prosecutor Mark Allan, who charged him with abandoning the dog.
He went on to say that as the pet’s owner, he was to blame for the bite attack.
However, Dillimore maintained that Tony was not his property at the time of the assault because he had given him away to a different security officer.

“That has nothing to do with me,” he remarked. I found the dog a home, not left him behind. I handed the puppy away to someone who assured me he could take care of it.
He went on to say he had no idea where the hound was at this point.
Furthermore, Dillimore said that lies were being told in an attempt to sue him for defamation.
