A great many people shouldn't own dogs. Unfortunately it isn't regulated at all.

Obviously the OP was so interested in replies that they haven’t been back for 5 days.

You know that the dog walker woman was attacked by a group of dogs including a cockerpoo and a couple of dachshund don't you?

Only the XL Bully was found to be the one who tore it’s owner to death.
It was her own dog.

None of the others were found to be implicated.

I believe that the dog responsible for the most hospital visits, statistically speaking, is a sausage dog…

I don't know about the UK, but in the US it is the Chihuahua! Four bloody inches high! But the issue is as with many smaller dogs - people think they are so small that they are toys, not dogs, and don't train them.

That’s absolute nonsense and you know it.
Pit Bulls and their crosses are overwhelmingly the dog type who require emergency treatment for dog bites- with fatalities not uncommon in children.

Chihuahuas mouths are tiny and they barely break skin if they bite, compared to the serious maulings of Pitbulls and bull crosses.

The dog who killed the Dog Walker in this thread has now been proven to be the walker’s own XL Bully.
The other dogs have been returned to their owners.

The dog who killed the Dog Walker in this thread has now been proven to be the walker’s own XL Bully. The other dogs have been returned to their owners.

I predicted from the day it happened that this was the likely outcome - that there was bully breed involvement and that what onlookers described as a mass attack from 8 dogs would have been one dog attacking, at most two (but unlikely) while the others would have been terrified and desperately trying to free themselves so they could run away. The sneering and denial I got was expected but tedious, usual MN I suppose 😁 it was almost as though people wanted there to have been an 8 dog attack in order to confirm their own dislike/fear of dogs.

It was pretty obvious by the early reports only mentioning 6 of the dogs. I knew that the detail being left out was that the one not being clarified was a bully breed and of course it was.
