A 4-year-old girl was attacked by two large dogs, known as "XL Bullies," while she was playing with her mother in a park.

Two young children were recently involved in separate dog attacks, both occurring within a span of two days. The first incident took place in Sheffield, where a four-year-old girl was playing in a park with her mother. Suddenly, she was viciously attacked by two XL Bullies, a relatively new but popular breed of dog. Despite the terrifying ordeal, the girl's injuries were not life-threatening. However, the two dogs responsible were later seized and are now in police kennels. The exact location of the park was not disclosed by the authorities.

Just two days later, a two-year-old boy was bitten by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier owned by a neighbor. The dog lunged towards the child and bit him multiple times, causing injuries that required hospital treatment. The dog was immediately removed from the premises and unfortunately, had to be put down. Chief Inspector Jonathan Greaves expressed his concern over the increasing number of dangerous dog incidents in South Yorkshire and urged all dog owners to take responsibility for their pets' actions. He reminded them that they could face legal consequences if their dog causes harm to others.

XL Bullies were banned in the UK earlier this year due to their involvement in multiple attacks. This breed, a mix of pit bulls, other terriers, and bulldogs, is known to be very strong and can weigh up to 70kg. Under the new law, these dogs must be muzzled in public, neutered, and microchipped. It is also illegal to breed, sell, advertise, abandon, gift, rehome, or allow XL Bullies to stray. Similar bans have been implemented in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Ireland.

It is important for dog owners to understand their pets' behavior and seek help if necessary. Dogs, like any other animal, can be unpredictable in certain situations. The safety of both humans and animals should be a top priority. In 2021, two out of four fatal dog attacks were caused by American Bully dogs, according to Bully Watch UK. It is crucial for dog owners to follow the laws and regulations in place to prevent any further incidents from occurring. Let us all work together to keep our communities safe from dangerous dogs.
