Mum vows to stand by partner jailed after their baby son was mauled to death by dog

The mum of a newborn killed by the family's "ferocious" crossbreed dog has vowed to stand by her partner after he was imprisoned for four years.

Elon Ellis-Joynes was 12 days old when he was attacked by a Chow-Chow-Alsatian cross at his home in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, on September 13 2020.

The youngster's dad Steven Joynes, 36, was sentenced to four years in prison today after pleading guilty to owning a dog that caused death when dangerously out of control last year.
