Killer XL Bully dog which fatally injured dog and hurt owner in attack still at large nearly a week on
A XL Bully dog which fatally injured another dog and hurt its owner in a vicious attack is still at large nearly a week on.
Lancashire Police are still appealing for help to identify the dog and it’s owner after they walked away from the scene of the attack last Wednesday.
They said they had been made aware of the distressing incident at 2.38pm Wednesday on the Seat Naze walking path, which is off Burnley Road East in Waterfoot, in which a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and its owner were attacked by an XL Bully.
Sadly, Alfie - the Staffordshire Bull Terrier – later died as a result of the injuries he received. Alfie’s owner received an injury to her hand, although thankfully it is not believed to be serious.
A 29-year-old man from Rossendale was arrested on suspicion of allowing a dog to be dangerously out of control. He remains in custody at this time.
Police have since added that there have been no sightings of the dangerous dog and were unsure if it was being hidden somewhere.
Efforts are continuing to locate the XL Bully and anyone with information which may assist the police should email [email protected] or call 101, quoting log 734 of 23rd October 2024.
For immediate sightings of the dog call 999.
