Went shopping today & saw this muzzled dog opposite. Gave me a shock as I v rarely see muzzled dogs in my area & never ones that resemble XL Bullies. I know the pic is blurred,

You can't be too careful. At least it's muzzled. I saw this yesterday. Terrifying! I reported it, obviously.

Best thread 🤣

Looks more like a Cane Corso type dog than an XL bully. XL Bully would be more short and squat.

I was out walking around Loch Ness today, and captured this. I know the picture is blurry, but it looks like an XL Bully to me - what do people think? Is there an XL Bully living in Loch Ness??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For hevens sake @Loubylie don't be silly , it's not lord lucan , it's Shergar ! 😁

@AliasGrace47
Of course it's impossible for anyone to tell what kind of dog that is .
But if it had a muzzle on then the owner is been responsible.

As pp have said it may be that the dog eats rubbish / food / fox poo .
It may also be nervous and bite out of fear or it could be a aggressive xbully so they are obeying the law by keeping on a lead and muzzled

I think it's a capybara, isn't it? They're pretty chonky and XL capybaras are known to be armed/legged and dangerous. Big snouts though so top marks to owner for getting the muzzle on.

Sleepinggreyhounds · 01/03/2025 08:31

It’s got nine legs. Surely that should make it eaay to identify?

Scary stuff! I hope you were't attacked/injured by that beast's delicious fluffiness? 😅

Fucking love a capybara

You must have been shocked for all of 0.5 seconds as you shot past it!

How on earth do you expect the Police to find that, it blends into it's surroundings like the Predator did in that Arnie film!

ScottBakula · 01/03/2025 08:44

I see a little cocker spaniel most days s/he always has a muzzle on .
I have no idea why but kudos for the owner taking responsibility.

Bundleflower · 01/03/2025 08:55

Did you take that picture from a plane?

murphys · 01/03/2025 09:02

I don't think it's an XL

It's definitely a Woosh

ForestFox44 · 01/03/2025 09:04

What's the problem if it is an XL bully under control and muzzled? Kindly get a life....and a better camera 😅

redboxer321 · 01/03/2025 09:05

Could be. There's a lot of XL bullies about. I saw two on TV last night, one of whom was orange.

theJackofHearts · 01/03/2025 09:06

Were you in Swaledale? If so it is definitely the black dog of Yorkshire.

I must've drank more than I thought last night though, my eyes just cannot focus on that photo!

Whatisthisbs · 01/03/2025 09:06

The comments haven't disappointed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

GoldStar2 · 01/03/2025 09:09

What?

Whatifitallgoesright · 01/03/2025 09:09

I got a Specsavers advert under your photo so even the internet has concerns.

JandamiHash · 01/03/2025 09:10

Fucking hell OP that could be a statue outside a barber’s for all we know. Come back with a better picture!

Wow - you know your XL Bully is illegal right? What will you do when it rips out a child’s throat?!!!!

WellsAndThistles · 01/03/2025 09:16

Why are you asking, if it has paperwork and a muzzle on it is probably perfectly legal.

(Personally I would have them all PTS but hey ho).

Snooks1971 · 01/03/2025 09:16

I think it’s a ghost. Quick, someone email Danny Robins from Uncanny.

blacksax · 01/03/2025 09:20

Well at least it had a muzzle on, which you don't see all that often, so it seems the owner is trying to be responsible.
