The saddest news of the day is that of the death of a four-year-old boy in Liverpool who was mauled in his grandmother’s house by a dog which is now said to have been a ‘pitbull terrier-type’, a breed banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
The police are now investigating reports that they ignored a telephone call as long ago as February that dog breeding was being conducted at the house in question. Whether that is true will doubtless emerge in due course.
No amount of police investigation will return this little boy to his parents who, along with other members of the family, including the grandmother who was herself injured, must be suffering untold agonies and I deeply sympathise with them.
I do not join the debate as to the rights and wrongs of people owning what the law says are dangerous dogs, for this family have learned a lesson in the most terrible and tragic way.
