The dogs were separated by members of the public
Merseyside Police were called to Old Hall Road, in Maghull, at around 4.45pm on Sunday, September 10, after reports of a dog attack. At the scene they found an XL Bully had attacked a smaller dog.
A spokesperson for 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.
ECHO readers took to the comments section to discuss XL Bullys following calls from the government to ban the breed on Monday, September 11. There have been a number of dog attacks in Merseyside over the summer with breeds involved including a Pitbull, Rottweilers and Border Collies., Lorraine Cinders said: "I don't think any breed of dog should be banned, I think owners need to know their dogs and use common sense. If your dog is aggressive with other dogs it should be on a secure lead at all times when walking it and it should be muzzled. Any dog can be aggressive so I wouldn't say it's a breed issue. Any dog can be non tolerant towards other dogs and people."Jason Smith said: "Oh come on now enough is enough this breed needs banning immediately.
