Another innocent little toddler killed by dog - no doubt it's all part of the "unconditional love" the doggie brigade are always bragging about.

About time dog laws were tightened (e.g. Bring back licences: No dogs allowed in households with youngsters: All dogs to be muzzled in public places. . . . . ) but fat chance of that with the strength of the Dog Lobby in this country.

That spoke volumes to us.

The same breed of dog killed a 55 year old man in Scotland last November.
Since 2020 9 people have been killed by dogs in the UK. Two were Staffie crossbreeds; one attack was by 3 British Bulldogs; 1 Chow-Chow cross; 1 attack was 2 American Bulldogs; 1 American Bully; 2 American Bully XL; 1 Husky.
In the previous decade there were 27 deaths in the UK. 7 involved Staffies or Staffie crossbreeds.
One death was caused by a Jack Russel cross; another by a Lakeland Terrier cross.
I think any breed of dog can attack suddenly, the problem is that any type of bull breed is very difficult to stop when it does attack

Thus is from wiki about bulldogs (where these all originate from)
//Over the centuries, dogs used for bull-baiting developed the stocky bodies and massive heads and jaws that typify the breed, as well as a ferocious and savage temperament//
All dogs are individual, but you have to consider what traits have been deliberately bred into different breeds over hundreds/ thousands of years as well- and what their needs might be.

I personally think more breeds should be added to the 'dangerous dogs' list, including the type of bully that killed this poor child and, I'm sorry staffie owners, but staffies too. I live in dread of meeting any of these type of dogs when out with my little dog as they could quite easily kill her with their big powerful jaws. I remember very shortly after I got her, we were walking home from the park and a huge bully type dog came loping towards us, no owner in sight, and it immediately went for Jill's underbelly (the soft part). I thought quickly and let her off lead and she legged it, she's a great runner and thankfully the bully didn't run after her. Long story short, over the following weeks, it attacked or tried to attack five more dogs in the area where I live because the stupid, irresponsible owner kept letting it out in it's own. It had one dog's head in its mouth and the owner had to punch and punch it until it thankfully let go. Luckily for us all, the owner and the dog suddenly disappeared one day, I can only assume he was kicked out of his rented flat. A loose staffie on the park terrifies me, it's that huge jaw that can cause so much damage. I know they are not all vicious, but some are and with a jaw like that, your own dog will not stand a chance.
Well said Mozz, good point.
I wonder what canary thinks about parents who torture and kill their babies and toddlers, surely THEY should know better ?? And there are far too many of them lately as well.
And while I feel sorry for this family for losing such a beautiful child, they were stupid in the extreme to take on such a dog where small children run free. A dog rescue would NEVER have let them have such a dog !
