Rules requiring muzzles and leashes improve public safety but animal charities claim breed is unfairly demonised
Marie Hay had just arrived at the wide-open expanse of Redcar Beach on Teesside when two out-of-control XL bullies mauled her beloved husky Naevia. The bullies ripped open Naevia’s chest and injured Hay’s older daughter, as well as three other people who rushed to help.
“I was absolutely terrified,” she said. “I was just screaming at people to get my little girl, who was only five at the time, off the beach. Everybody was terrified.”
