An influencer issued a grovelling apology after her dog mauled two people following a drink-fuelled party at an Airbnb apartment. Holly Snelgar’s dog Kaiser, an English pit bull, bit Jennie Lawrenson on three occasions as she went to investigate a disturbance at the serviced apartment in Manchester city centre, which she had rented to Snelgar and some friends.
Snelgar watched on and was ‘laughing’ when the dog attacked her, it was said. Kaiser also bit Ms Lawrenson’s partner Myles Waldron, and when the police were called Snelgar launched a foul mouthed tirade and kicked an officer.
Snelgar, 25, from Hampshire, apologised for her 'drunken and debauched' behaviour and begged for forgiveness when she was hauled before a judge. "I will never forgive myself for what has happened, but I hope you find somewhere in your heart to accept my apology, I am truly so sorry,” Snelgar said, weeping as she addressed Ms Lawrenson, who was also present for the sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court.

"I still hate myself everyday for what I have put you through. I could not regret this night any more if I tried.”
The dog could have been destroyed, but a judge said that it had made ‘considerable progress’ and was no longer a danger. It is currently being looked after at a dog's home.
If it is returned to Snelgar in the future, she was ordered to keep it on a lead in public and attend eight training classes with the animal. Prosecuting, Katie Walden told how Snelgar had booked the Airbnb, on Dale Street in the Northern Quarter, and was staying there with two male friends on December 8, 2021.
