Moment 'XL Bully' Latches Onto Labradoodle In Street As Mum Screams 'he's Killed My Dog'

Moment unleashed 'XL Bullies' set upon family out walking new baby

A young mum says "blood was coming from all over" her beloved labradoodle as harrowing footage shows the moment two dogs savaged the pet in the street.

The 23-year-old was out pushing her eight-week-old baby in a pram and walking along with her own mum, 50, who had their 10-year-old dog on a lead when the attack took place in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. The two dogs, one of whom is believed to have been an XL Bully, sprang out of a side road and launched themselves at the labradoodle.

Panicked screams and a cry of 'he's killed my dog' can be heard as bystanders try to get one of the Bully-types away from the labradoodle, its jaws appearing to be locked on to the smaller dog. A man also brought out a leaf blower in a bid to separate the dogs.

The Labradoodle has thankfully survived but was left with multiple wounds on his body and the family have had to pick up a four-figure vet bill. Of the incident that took place on July 23 at around 12.20pm on Brookfield Road, the young mum said: "They came charging round the corner at speed. We were completely shocked as we weren't expecting it.

"I was in front but they looked straight past me. I knew straight away they were fixed on our dog and I believe I said to my mum 'pick him up.' She attempted to but the dogs were jumping up at her legs. They have managed to latch on to the dog's back legs. They were so powerful they have pulled my mum down with our dog and they have both ended up on the floor."

The woman says at this point she picked her baby out of the pram before an eyewitness in a car pulled over and allowed her to take the baby to safety in the vehicle, where she began filming what happened. One person got a lead on one of the dogs which was difficult as it didn't have a collar on, said the woman, but the other dog continued.

"There was still one dog on my mum and ours", she told the Manchester Evening News. "He was latched onto his ear. He was throwing his head back and forth. He was trying to rip his ear off. My mum was just trying to protect our dog by staying on top of him. But he was locked on. Lots of people were trying to get it off, but the dog was taking zero notice. Then someone brought a leaf blower and that seemed to work and it unlatched and someone could get a lead on that one as well."

She said a woman eventually arrived, and grabbed the dogs, 'one in each hand', and took them away from the scene. Police were called but the young mum said that they took the dog to a vets before the officers arrived. "I have never seen anything like it", she said. "His eyes were going from side to side. Blood was coming from all over him. He looked like he was going to die.

"I was saying 'they have killed my dog.' I thought when we got to the vets they would say we would have to have him put down. He's more than a dog to us", she added. "He's family. He's our baby. He means so much." Having been rushed into surgery, the labradoodle, who sustained a number of puncture wounds, is now recovering at home. The woman's mum had swelling and marks on her hand and was advised by the vet to get a tetanus jab.

A police officer arrived at the vets and told them that armed officers had seized the dogs, the woman said. Greater Manchester Police has confirmed two dogs were seized. One of the dogs is suspected of being an XL Bully whilst the other has been confirmed not to be, they said. A spokesperson said: "At around 12.30pm on 23 July, we were called to reports of a dog attack on Brookfield Road, Cheadle. Officers attended and a woman was treated for injuries that thankfully were not life-threatening. Two dogs were seized and enquiries are ongoing."

The woman says both she and her mum have been left badly shaken by the ordeal. And they are now questioning how the dogs managed to be loose on the street in order to attack them. "It was just terrifying," she said. "Heartbreaking. Mortifying. Upsetting. Any other word you can think of to describe it, that's what it was. We just weren't expecting it. I've got a young baby and if I'd have been walking both on my own I wouldn't have been able to protect them both, I would have had to just let them attack my dog.

"And if I didn't have the dog I think they would have gone for my baby. It's horrific to think about. This is not okay. It's such a shock as well. It's such a lovely area around here and everyone has nice dogs. Lots of other dog owners are horrified about what's happened. Those dogs cannot be returned. If they do, I will have zero trust in the legal system."

RSPCA Completes Mission Labradoodle Rescue, Pups Groomed And Off To New Homes

The Tasmanian RSPCA has rescued the final 28 Labradoodles from a now-closed puppy farm in Epping Forest, marking the end of the first phase of an unprecedented operation to re-home 230-plus surrendered dogs.

The animals were saved from Tasmanian Labradoodles, the state's highest-profile puppy farm, after it settled out of court for 70 counts of over-breeding dogs last month.

The business, per terms of the settlement, shut operations permanently and surrendered their dogs to the RSPCA, which called it a "historic win" for animal welfare in the state.

In the last five weeks, the RSPCA rescued a total of 239 Labradoodles, the largest operation of its kind in the state's history.

The animal welfare organisation also received more than $300,000 to cover vet bills and costs associated with the animals' care after a public call out for donations.

"I'd like to pay tribute to my team who have worked above and beyond over the last month," said Andrea Dawkins, RSCPA Tasmania's chief executive officer.

"Every Labradoodle that possibly could be was removed from that property and safely placed with wonderful Tasmanians."

The operation was the culmination of two years of investigation by the RSPCA - a lengthy time frame when it comes to the well-being of animals according to Ms Dawkins.

Almost all of the dogs were suffering from matted fur - some were covered in dirt and faeces, a great deal were underweight - and many . Of the 238, several were older dogs, between 15 and 16, that have been transferred to vets on the northwest coast.

Only a single Labradoodle, which was found with a catastrophic spinal injury, was euthanised following the operation.

Ms Dawkins hopes the case will be a "catalyst" for change in the state's animal regulations - which the Tasmanian government is currently reviewing.

"[We will] use the strength of this Tasmanian community to fight for change," said Ms Dawkins, who in recent weeks has called for a body to manage companion animals.

All 28 of the final Labradoodles rescued on Friday were taken directly to groomers across Tasmania hours after they were rescued from the Epping Forest site.

"It's obvious to me that these dogs have been neglected," said Shari Rodman, who groomed 11 of the Labradoodles at her business Wags 'N' Tails on Wellington Street.

"But [I'm] finding that, as soon as that hair comes off, they come into life, they start playing with the curtain and work their tails. They feel so much better."

The rescued Labradoodles - a cross-breed between a Labrador Retriever and a standard or miniature poodle - will undergo roughly two weeks of rehabilitation, which will vary from dog-to-dog pending vet reports but will mostly involve vaccinations and behavioural assistance, with the rare surgery.

Each of the pups, often individually sold for up to $4000, has already found either a permanent home or a foster carer at an RSPCA adoption price of $400.

"As I think we always knew," Ms Dawkins said. "There were always going to be homes for them."
