The mother of a four-year-old girl who was mauled by an XL bully crossbreed says she is 'glad' they will be banned - and she hopes those allowed to keep the dogs will follow the rules. Amy Hobson's daughter Luna has had surgery twice and might need to have a skin graft after she was left with 'significant injuries' to her face in the attack in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, in April. It was one of a spate of recent attacks and deaths involving XL bully dogs.
'They're just giving her face a bit more time to heal and seeing how her scarring looks and then they'll make the decision about whether she'll need the skin graft,' Ms Hobson said. 'I'm hoping they'll say it's healing up nicely. The swelling is still there and the scarring still really obvious, I'm really hoping it recovers well by February.
