XL Bully Sought by Police After Fatal Dog Attack and Owner’s Injury

Authorities are actively seeking an XL bully dog involved in an incident where it attacked a woman and caused the death of her dog during a walk. According to Lancashire Police, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Alfie and its owner were assailed on Wednesday along the Seat Naze walking path, situated off Burnley Road East in Waterfoot. The police force reported that Alfie subsequently succumbed to his injuries, while his owner sustained a hand injury described as non-serious.
