An 18-year-old girl was mauled by a vicious dog in a brutal attack and left with serious facial injuries which required 28 stitches
. Lily-Blu Whitehurst had been over at her friend's house in September 2021 when the family's English bull terrier who has been happily sitting on her lap randomly lunged at her.
The owner of the dog was fined £700 and the animal is now made to wear a muzzle outside and sit in a cage when there are visitors. Speaking of her painful injuries,"I couldn’t open one of my eyes for about two weeks and my forehead swelled up. A year on, one eye still can’t fully close. I think it will continue to have an effect on me for the rest of my life.”She said: “I know how to act around dogs. I’ve had dogs all my life. It’s helped me to realise that not all dogs are like that.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council says officers are focusing on attacks and more animals are being removed from their owners. Nearly 3,500 dogs were seized in 2022, mostly due to the animals being 'out of control', across 33 force areas which was up 36% from 2018. Dr Rachel Casey, director of canine behaviour and research at the animal welfare charity, Dogs Trust, said dog aggression is normally caused by anxiety or worry.
