BBCA year ago, seven-year-old Lydia walked to publish a letter with his father when he was brutally attacked by a XL oppressed man who had fled a neighbor’s garden.
Matt says the day changed from a second to horror, we tell him that for the first time he saw his fugitive dog in the corner of his eyes and in a few seconds he was “relative to his daughter’s arm and bit three or four times. He says the dog continued his lungs for Lydia and in a quiet attempt to stop her and stop her daughter, had to “sloud on her.
“It was strongly strong,” Matt said. He remembers seeing Lydia’s screams and seeing blood from his wounds. He didn’t know if his life was in danger.
“I could have dealt with the fact that he wasn’t with me and killed. I kept waking up at night,” his father said.
He says the weeks were difficult for the family immediately after the attack. Every time Lydia needs to be replaced, she shouts and jumps into the hug of one of the occasions when a dog approaches her in the park.
“I still like small dogs, but I don’t like the dogs who look like the dogs I’ve beaten,” Lydia said.
The incident left Matte with one question: Why does someone want to own one of these dogs? he joined your voice is your BBC news – And we took him to get to know an XL Bully talk to see if he can get some answers.
Matt met Lily Collins, 25, who lives with Hayden’s partner in Redic, and on a protected dog farm near his home, the two-year-old X-L-Boli, Dog.
A bright and cool spring morning, and before Matt arrives, Lily Dog takes a lot of money. He throws a ball, which he takes back with enthusiasm and the dog does some training. Lily says he wants to show another aspect of XLS, which he believes is often ignored.
When he comes out of the car, he is naked and quietly silent. We have arranged to greet Lily and Dog first while they are on the other side of the high metal fence that surrounds the pitch.
Throughout our chat outside the gate, Dog sits in Lily’s feet, moves his tail, obviously he is happy that he attracts so much attention.
After a brief conversation through the chain fence, Matt says he would be happy to continue the conversation on condition that the dog was stabbed and under the control of Lille’s partner from a remote. “Although he feels that Dog is well trained, he can’t stop thinking about what happened to Lydia,” he says.
As we open the gate, it swallows matts in a significant way. “I’m often uncomfortable,” he said, adding that he feels horror to ask Lille to keep his pets away. “I feel sad that these things are about automatically because of the type of dog it has.
But Lily says he is used to those who are concerned about Dog, but tells us that a dog’s behavior is strictly determined how he is brought up and trained.
Since February last year, he has been illegal in England and Wales without having a pardon.
The ban means that there are five types of banned dogs in the UK – Peterbul Terry, Japanese Tosa, Doga Argentino and Filla Brasillero, and XL talker. The dogs registered before the ban must be deprived of public places and suppressed in public and kept in a certain situation.
Lily says he received Dog before the ban was introduced and had a significant time to train his family’s pets.
The dog survived a rear yard breeder and Lily tells us that if he and Hayden hadn’t taken it inside, there would be a danger that ended in the wrong hand. “Either he dies or he will be like one of the dogs you may see in the news,” he said.
He describes what has happened to his daughter Matt. “He’s just survived the house?” He asks questions. “He’s boiling my blood.
Lily says he’s sure Dog will never hurt anyone – but Matt wants to know if he can see the ability of the XL Bully dog. “I’m looking at it and thinking about it ‘yes, it can tear my throat’,” he said. “I want to be balanced and fair about it, but it’s hard not to look at his body and think about ‘good sorrow’.
Lily says he often hears the reaction, but says it is a question how the dog was raised by its owners.
The attack on Lydia was not in danger of life but left a permanent spot. The dog was destroyed on the same day and in November, the owner was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison.
“These dogs are so strong that they are so big, and if they are pushed, they can happen to be this great monster,” Lily said. “But I believe how to educate them, how to deal with them.
“These dogs need a lot of mental arousal, they are not easy dogs to own them. They are difficult.
Matt says he can understand why Lily Dog has taken him inside – to save him from a different life – but still remains with the same question: “Why is someone looking for such a dog?
“This is the livestock of a big family,” Lily said. “He’s not a status for us, he’s not a weapon. We only love him very much.
Before the ban on XL is implemented, the government estimates that there are about 10,000 bad words in the country.
This proved that it is a significant negligence, because more than 57,000 xls have been registered in the Ministry of Environment, Food and Villhead Affairs. RSPCA says it could have 100,000 xls in the UK, including many unregistered.
Matt likes to have permits for all large dogs that can be damaged – and conditional for its owners who show that they have done properly.
“It doesn’t seem to have changed a lot,” Matt said. “But if you have to have permission to own the dog, you will feel like a tougher way to stop those who cause attacks.
Lily says he is fully satisfied and says the law must go further, requires permission for all 13 million dogs in the country.
He admits that his dog can cause more damage to a smaller dog, but he says they are fighting and attacking people.
Today, RSPCA has renewed its calls for dog licensing plans across the UK, saying such a move will help face challenges with dog owners and allow better performance around dangerous dogs.
The BBC understands that the government currently has no plans to get dog licenses, and in a statement a spokesman insisted that the current laws are all on the safety of the people.
There are others who believe that dangerous dogs act and the bully ban are effective. Professor Vivin Lee, at the Royal College of Surgery, told us that although he and other surgical doctors treat similar numbers of patients, they saw the less injuries than they were last year.
Surgery doctors are on the way to treat the number they are treated this year to injure dogs to injure dogs, as they did in 2023-2 However, it is unclear what the amount of these wounds were caused by XL’s violence.
In Scotland, where a ban came into power in August last year, it is expected to be treated more than the age of 10 for dog bites this year. And in the THS trust in Wales, which they responded, surgical doctors are expected to be treated under the same period in 2023-24 in the same period. So building a clear image is deceptive.
Return to Reditch, after he met Lily and learned more about how he was trained in his pet, Matt decided to give him to know a dog and give him a finger.
The experience of the Lily and Dog meeting seems to have been effective. When Matt first sent an email to the BBC News, he said, “I was very supportive of dogs before, but now I am very careful about the dog owners.
Now, he tells Lily, “Because we have chat and I have heard how you are very interested in him, that makes me feel much more comfortable… I’m happy to do it once.
Last time he was close to a dog, Matt says he was lying on him and tried to attack Lydia. He brings memories of the day of the attack. When he hits Dog, he says, “I remember how shiny the coat is.
“Hearing what happened to your daughter makes me really sad,” Lily said. “This makes me sad,” Matt replied.
