Why didn’t the owner have the dog on a lead and properly controlled? My dog’s well behaved but she’s still a dog and still capable of acting out of anxiety in an unfamiliar situation, I wouldn’t have her off leash around an animal she’s not familiar with.
It’s too easy to blame the dog instead of the owner.
Not all big bull breeds are dangerous, but nearly all dog attacks are big bull breeds.

Saint of a horse. Others would probably kick off and injure that dog on the spot (if not kill it by kicking it in the head with shod foot).
Owner should cough up for the vet and dog probably sadly needs to be put down. Aren’t American bullies illegal to keep in the UK? American bulldogs are for sure but I don’t know if it’s the same thing. Why people need this kind of dog, I don’t know.
You are a fucking moron if you have an American bully xl in your house. You’re especially dumb if you have young children.
Even if we do not ban these breeds, more needs to be done to make it harder to own them legally. They are a more dangerous breed and more likely to be owned by people who choose to train them to be aggressive, if they train them at all. It’s not the fault of the breed but too many attacks have happened in recent years, so more needs to be done to protect the public in response.
I wrote to my MP on the topic of dangerous dogs. it went to Westminster.
Why is it never the Labrador that’s attacked a child or done this?
Article says: dog attacks child, police are investigating.
You could bet £1000 on what breed was responsible.
I’m so tired of seeing posts like this. Ban these aggressive breeds, and harshly punish their shitty owners.
What a surprise. It’s a bulldog who was the attacker.
“He criticised the have-a-go-hero passer-by who stepped in to help, using a long stick to keep the dog at bay.
“The guy was rude,” said Hakan”
Owner sounds like a prize prick
You always know the owner of these type of dogs are either a thuggish lout who gets one because it looks hard, or a middle aged Karen who calls it a nanny dog.
Ban the breed and start holding owners accountable
“I thought the horse was going to kick me. If it kicks me I’m dead. If it killed me then people would be feeling sorry for me.”
Not sure about that one…
Fuck, as if I didn’t already fear dogs and despise the irresponsible shitbag owners enough.
Maybe this will make the police take dogs seriously. Or maybe it won’t.
We need a complete rethink about how dogs are regulated in this country.
Full house on my “r/unitedkingdom dog attack bingo card”
What the rules there for this? In America, the horse is considered an officer, so the owner of the dog would be arrested for something related to facilitating an assault on an officer. And the dog would already be dead.
The owner sound a massive irresponsible dick. Should be banded from owning any animals
I have family in Tower Hamlets, who frequent Victoria Park, can you imagine if this was a man, woman or child? Absolutely abominable breed(s) that need banning, any cross, any attribute, any characteristic, just ban it out.
I asume this dog will be humainly euthenised.
In a public park dogs should not be of leash period.
These dogs should be banned everywhere.
Now it is a horse tomorrow a kid.
The owner is at complete fault as he should have had his dog on leash at all time. Especialy these kind of dogs just so preventable.
And nothing in the article stated he helped to stop his dog so he did not have any controle of his dog.
I just cross the road now if I see a bully dog coming near me. I’ve seen way too many dragging their owners along the pavement. They’d have zero chance of controlling them if they went for me. I avoid parks for the same reason.
Dog licencing, please. Require a “doggy driving test” so that potential owners are aware of what they will be taking on. They are not babies, this is a dog from a line bred to bait and kill bulls. It clearly sounds coddled, and so when it saw a horse it had no self restraint over itself. Entirely the owner at fault. The dog will suffer now because this guy didn’t take what he was raising seriously.
My dog constantly gets attacked and bullied by pit bull style dogs either in Victoria Park or Dalston. Police do nothing.
The owner sounds as bad as the dogs behaviour. It read like there was no remorse, worse still he sounds annoyed people are treating his dog like it’s about kill.
So bad on so many fronts.
This breed absolutely needs banning.
There’s a fetishisation of certain breeds amongst certain communities that needs to stop.
Let me guess the breed before clicking the article. Oh. What. A. Surprise. Can we make bullies illegal already, please, thanks in advance
The control by that rider and the restraint demonstrated by the horse are spectacular.
If that had not been an elite level rider / horse combo, the dog would have gotten it’s skull smashed in and the rider would probably be in hospital with a broken back from being bucked off in the process.
The owner of the dog is an absolute scumbag, what if I got kicked by the horse? What if the police officer had fallen off and landed on his neck. Fucking moron.
Throw the cunt in prison for a bit look at the state of his outfit and how he has responded top class waster cunt
Dog is a killer and fighter an should be removed from the irresponsible owner and put down. Owning pits imo should require a special license and testing. Danger to humans and animals.
Makes me laugh. You need a licence and have to take a test to fly anything but the smallest drone, but nothing to own a muscle-bound killing machine.
Go figure.
The worst thing about this is that a horse getting a few stitches is creating a bigger backlash for this breed that the 6 people killed by them in the UK last year.
People that insist breeds are not the problem, need to consider why the Dangerous Dogs Act is called as such.
What a surprise, an American Pit Bull. Why is it only drug dealers and bellends have dogs like that?
No, if the horse kicked you and you died, we wouldn’t feel sorry for you, you ridiculous prick. We’d still feel sorry for the dog and for the horse.
If the dog gets put down surely it should be an automatic ban for life on owning an animal for this useless dickhead?
I’ve noticed that dogs off lead are almost always either incredibly well trained or have zero recall. There’s hardly any in between.
Far too many people just assume dogs are fine off lead and put no effort into training them.
It was clearly just overexuberantly attempting to nanny the horse
My neighbour has one of those dogs. He walks it on an improvised dog catcher pole rather than a normal lead. Tells me everything I need to know about it. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, but it worries the hell out of me when I have a four year old kid that it could probably eat if it felt like it.
I knew an owner of an XL bully. It attacked her adult son. She called the police out of fear. The police came to the home and took the dog away to be euthanised. No criminal charges were brought against the owner, but she was required to pay the fees for cremation.
The article states that the dog is in kennels and the owner has not been arrested. This suggests to me that the dog is undergoing genetic testing. If the test results show that the dog is sufficiently related to an illegal breed, i.e., the american pitbull terrier, the police will then obtain a warrant for the arrest of the owner.
Isn’t American Bully just a fancy name for pitbull? Or is it really something different?
Certain breeds need to be muzzled when off the lead in a public place. If you want to play ball, then pay to rent a dog enclosure.
Also stop the buggers jumping up. I don’t care if your dog just wants to say hello. I have arthritis and osteoporosis. I broke my ankle getting down from a chair, so if I fall over because your dog has jumped up, I would more than likely break a bone if I fell over.
>If it killed me then people would be feeling sorry for me.

These dogs are absolute menaces who don’t belong in homes. I also love when people bring up bite statistics and point out that other breeds bite more. Sure, that may be true. But you know whats also true, nearly 70% of serious and fatal dog attacks are from bully breeds. 70 FUCKING PERCENT. They don’t just bite people, they maul them to death. Big difference between that and a golden retriever nipping someone’s hand.
Worst part about the video is the owner standing back while others try to help the horse and get the dog.
It is a passer by that finally manages to grab the dog.
Owner is exactly what you’d expect, tracksuit wearing moron.
Put it down. While pit bull and this are 2 different dogs. I don’t care what the others said if the horse is shorter or if there is a kid and it suddenly get hyped, it will kill. Biting belly and legs.

I bet it was a golden retriever
> The police horse stumbles and kicks out at the canine, believed to be American Bulldog XL.
Oh
The nasty horse is to blame for my sweet little puppy attacking it.
