More than 20 dogs have been destroyed by Dundee City Council in the last year the majority put down due to aggressive behaviour.
The new figures also reveal that the city council has rehomed 71 dogs during the same period.
A total of 23 dogs were destroyed by the council, with only one of the canines a staffordshire bull terrier put down by order of the court.
Six of the dogs on the list were staffordshire bull terriers, and two were cross staffies.
The breed is not included in the Dangerous Dogs Act and is often mistaken for banned breeds like pit bulls, due to its muscular and powerful frame.
Two of these dogs were euthanised at the request of the owner. There were five dogs, of various species, which were put down due to ill health.
The remaining 18 were put down because of violent behaviour.
Thirteen dogs on the list exhibited behaviour ranging from unpredictability to biting, while four dogs were aggressive towards other dogs.
Craig Melville, environment convener for the council, said: “We rehome as many dogs as we can but some can’t be. This can be due to physical reasons but behavioural issues are a cause too.
“We try our best and do what we can to ensure no dog is left abandoned.”
