Two arrested after Chihuahua puppy mauled to death by XL Bully
Two people have been arrested after a Chihuahua puppy was mauled to death by an XL Bully.
Firearms police were called to reports of an out of control dog in Skellow, Doncaster this morning.
The XL Bully, which had escaped from a nearby property, was attacking a Chihuahua puppy being walked in the street.
Sadly it had to be put to sleep.
A 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of owning a dog dangerously of control.
Chief Inspector Emma Cheney said: ‘Over the Christmas and New Year people will be out enjoying their days off, walking their dogs.
‘As an owner you are responsible for your dog’s actions, whether that be within your home or a public place.
‘If your dog causes fear or harm, it will be you, the owner who is held accountable and, in some cases, put before the courts.’
