Cant find the thread from last week where a dog mauled its owner and everyone jumped on the speculation it had to have been an xl bully.... it was actually a Lurcher, normally a very docile breed.

Find it strange noone is up in arms now the breed has been identified.

Dog that fatally bit teenager Jamie-Lea Biscoe on the neck pictured

Shy was described as the 'softest' pet and was said to be the teenager's 'best friend' before the attack.

Any dog can turn and attack! Although some dogs can only so minimal damage. It’s just more likely to be a dog like an Xl bully(or similar). Although some doggy people don’t want to hear that.

The details are still emerging. Apparently (according to her aunt) she was trying to split up a dog fight which by my calculations would require more than one dog and if you search her fathers profile, he has photos of XL bully types and a litter of bully puppies. He was arrested at the scene and bailed.

I am reserving my opinion for now.
