It happened at home
Unbelievable: dog bites own master to death
A terrible story is currently shaking Great Britain. Once again, a dog has killed a human. What is particularly tragic is that it was actually his closest friend.
A 53-year-old man was fatally injured in his home by his own dog, according to police in the north-west English county of Lancashire. The animal was an XL Bully.
After several deaths, the British government had actually banned this type of dog, which can only be kept under strict conditions.
Animal could not be calmed
The police were alerted on Tuesday. The dog had posed a serious danger and they had no choice but to shoot the animal to prevent it from injuring more people.
"This is a tragic incident which sadly resulted in a man losing his life," the police wrote. The circumstances surrounding the case in Accrington are yet to be investigated. Specially trained officers would look after the man's family.
There are repeated fatal incidents involving dogs in the United Kingdom.
