Horrifying moment XL Bully grabs tiny dog by throat in savage attack as man tries to pull beast off
THIS is the horrifying moment an XL Bully grabs a tiny dog by the throat in a savage attack – as a man tries to pull the beast off.
The hound’s owner was reportedly walking it on a lead in Maghull near Liverpool on Sunday afternoon when it tore free from its collar.
It gripped a small white dog by the throat and viciously shook it in the air.
Passers-by tussled with the XL Bully for nearly five minutes before they were able to prise the little dog out of its jaws.
Merseyside Police said: “We can confirm we received a report that a dog had attacked another dog in Maghull yesterday, Sunday 10 September.
“At around 4.45pm, it was reported a dog, believed to be an XL bully, had been walking on Old Hall Road when it slipped out of its collar and ran away from its male owner.
“It then bit another dog before its owner and a member of the public managed to separate them.
“The attacked dog was taken to a vet for a check-up. The owner of the XL bully has been spoken to by officers.”
It is understood that the little dog needed stitches but otherwise had a lucky escape.
An eyewitness claimed on Twitter that the XL Bully’s owner broke four toes kicking the beast.
It comes after the Home Secretary vowed to outlaw killer XL Bully dogs.

Bullys have been linked to nine deaths, including three children, since 2021.
