A terrifying dog attack took place on Thursday morning in Baddeley Green, Stoke-on-Trent. An American Bully XL mauled two women inside a home on Baker Crescent, prompting an emergency police call at 11:40am.

Staffordshire Police responded quickly and provided medical assistance at the scene before the victims were transported to hospital. The severity of their injuries has not been disclosed, causing concern within the local community.

Authorities managed to contain the aggressive dog at the location. After discussions with the owners, the American Bully XL was euthanised. This decision comes amid recent announcements by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak regarding plans to ban Bully XL dogs across the UK.

The attack has intensified the ongoing debate over dog breed regulations. The proposed ban follows several violent incidents involving Bully XL dogs, including the tragic death of Ian Price in Stonnall near Walsall last month. Staffordshire Police have confirmed that the incident remains under investigation, fueling renewed calls for stricter controls on dangerous dog breeds.
