Chief Inspector Emma Cheney of South Yorkshire Police emphasised that even registered XL bullies can pose a danger.
A three-year-old boy in Doncaster required surgery after being mauled by the family's XL bully dog on Monday. The incident highlights the dangers of the breed, which is due to be banned in the UK, according to The Metro.
According to reports, the child was climbing on the dog when it attacked him. Police arrived at the scene and seized the animal, which remains in kennels while an investigation is underway.
This attack comes amidst a growing concern over XL bullies. The UK government announced a ban on the breed in September following several serious incidents, including a man mauled to death in Staffordshire and an 11-year-old girl attacked in Birmingham.
