Armed officers were drafted in after local officers attempted to contain Kilo following the attack in February.
A teenager has admitted being in charge of an XL Bully that was shot dead by armed police after it attacked a man and his dog. Tya Miller, 19, was responsible for Kilo when he savaged Norman Beaton and his 14-year old Border Collie, Drift, during a horror incident in East Kilbride , Lanarkshire.
It later emerged Kilo had been rehomed to Scotland to escape a ban on the breed that had come into force in England. An advert claimed the dog was 'incredibly' strong and 'one of the strongest' XL Bullies the seller had ever seen. Miller, of East Kilbride, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted being in charge of Kilo at the time of the incident. She accepted he had repeatedly bitten Drift on the body to his injury and that Beaton had been repeatedly bitten to his severe injury.
Matthew Super, defending, said: "This dog was shot and killed by police on this day. It was not her dog but she had been looking after it for a friend when this happened."Following the attack, a man who freed Drift from Kilo's attack told STV he believed owners were the problem and not dogs and blasted new laws on the breed as 'disgusting'.
