Yeah, the dog is huge and looks scary as ****. I'd be scared to be around it myself, let alone a small, fragile child.

Yeah, especially since he's a rescue dog too, you have to be extra careful around any dog who's history you don't know and a dog of this size it's even more important

R.I.P

What a ugly dog they should've of got it in the first place

[Tom4784]

The dog was far too big to be around a child especially if it wasn't raised in the family. Most dogs are fine around children, if they are raised together you'll find that the dog is usually very protective of the child.

It's just a case of a bad choice having tragic consequences.

Yes thats Rulan the white one
that the mother could not break the lock
so she stabbed the dog fast
but by the time the girl was in hospital
she sadly died


Round the neck of Rulan is raw skin
from a Choker Chain that strangles it
if it moves fast on walks - very normal

Such a sad story all the way round.

[Scarlett.]

Rescue dogs shouldn't really be given to families with children, since the dogs can have deep psychological problems from previous owners. It's sad that some people mistreat dogs to such an extent

[arista]

Dog: Lexi was understood to have been poorly
in bed when the dog (believed to be the one pictured above)
suddenly pounced



Rehomed: Orchard Kennels and Cattery, in Barrow-upon-Soar, confirmed that the family had got the dog from them

Do you think the stabbing of the dog infuriated it more?

Probably but I guess if the dog was attacking your child you'd do anything to get it off, wouldn't you? I know I would

Yes,you would Niamh,but I just wondered if that made it worse,or maybe the damage was already done,if he caught a major artery of the little girl on first bite,,nothing could be done,

I would imagine if he was in full attack mood and "swinging her around like a rag doll" then there probably wasn't much the mother could have done to get him off her.

The problem is when they lock jaws
Nothing can get it off.
thats the problem with bull dogs and pit bulls


An American had one locked on his leg
he had a Hand gun shot it
but the leg was destroyed
so he has one leg now.





For some reason while the girl was unwell
the dog changed




Orchard Kennels can not say anything
as is a Police matter now

They don't have lock jaws - it's just a myth, but they do have a powerful bite that is nigh on impossible to break with human strength.

He should sue for defamation of character tbh

[Ninastar]

I personally think the people who abused the dog in the first place should be charged with murder. I don't think the dog would have killer her if it hadn't been abused in the past.

I feel so sorry for the mother. Imagine watching it happen. I was talking to the girls today about what we would do and all of us (bar one) said we would have done the same... stabbed the dog. You'd do anything to get the dog off of your child. Absolutely anything. It's such a shame that this was the result.
