XL Bully Attack Leaves Baby in Serious Condition

An eight-month-old girl named Arabella was seriously injured by an XL Bully dog named Hunter while visiting her great-grandmother's home in Hawkinge, Kent. The dog was owned by her uncle, and following the attack, it was humanely euthanized by a veterinarian. Two relatives, a 76-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man, have been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog and have been released on bail while investigations continue. Arabella was airlifted to a London hospital, where she remains in critical condition, with family expressing deep concern for her recovery. The incident has raised alarms as it follows a new law that bans the ownership of XL Bullies in England and Wales due to previous attacks and safety concerns. Local police are providing reassurance to the community while inquiries are ongoing.
