A dog has died after reportedly being mauled by two 'oversized bullys' in a Dunblane park.It's believed the six-year-old spaniel was being walked by its owner when it was attacked by the unmuzzled dogs, who are believed to be XL Bullys' in Braemar Park at around 1.40pm on Monday, March 11.It is undesrtood the pet was rushed to a nearby vets, but could not be saved.
Police Scotland said they are investigating the incident. A spokesperson for the force said: “An investigation is under way following a report of two dogs attacking another dog, a spaniel, in the Braemar Park area of Dunblane on Monday, 11 March, 2024.“The incident was reported to police around 1.40pm.“The spaniel dog has subsequently died and enquiries are ongoing.”Stirling Council said the incident was reported to their team, adding: “We can confirm this incident was reported to our animal control team."Officers have liaised with Police Scotland on the incident with a police-led investigation now underway.”A ban on XL bullies was introduced in Scotland on February 23.
As of that date, anyone who owns one of the dogs must ensure they are on a lead and wearing a muzzle when in public.This applies at all time and includes when they are in a car.
From that date it also became an offence to abandon the dogs or allow them to stray or to breed, sell, exchange the animals, or advertise them or offer them as a gift.The second stage will come into effect later this year, making it illegal to own an XL bully type dog without an exemption certificate or having applied for an exemption certificate to own that dog.
