Owners who want to have such a beast should always have it muzzled with a strong steel muzzle
He’s going to be alright but it has affected him. I’m on anti depressants because I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t sleep. It’s been an absolute nightmare,' Mr Stearman.
The waterways worker, of Belsize Park, north London, was arrested over the incident and held in a police cell for 22 hours but has since been released without charge.

Neighbors who live near this beast should own a shotgun...
....and keep it loaded!
Just sayin'
SHould have stuck the knives in the idiot who owned the dog too.
I feel sorry for the two dogs and the owner with the terrier.
The owner of the Bulldog is a menace. Lots of people like that around my neighborhood with pit bulls and other aggressive types and they refuse to keep them on a lead. Also smaller dogs which run into the road and get hit by cars.
These people are such irresponsible jerks. And they can VOTE as WELL as HAVE CHILDREN.
Frightening.
Mych as I love dogs, I cannot blame this man, I would have done the same, only my knives would not have bent, and bullets would have been involved.
As far as the human owner of this beast is concerned, I would like to think that I would have been able to control myself, but he deserves to be in jail for harboring a vicious animal, and he should be sued civilly.
Owners of breeds such as this, that are known to be aggressive and have the potential to do much harm, ought to be made to post a bond for their good behavior. No bond, no license. It wouldn’t prevent all incidents, but it would go a long way toward reducing them, and would have the salutary effect of discouraging irresponsible people from owning such breeds.
93lbs? That’s one big dog
” Note that this is a tough pitbull like breed.”
BS the American bulldog is nothing like a pit bull. About the only thing they have in common is that they are terriers

Ah! Fun with firearms and animals.
Guess what happened to my family and I on Monday?
Well, we got a dog Saturday. 3 year old black lab female. My Wife decided to take her for a walk with my young Sons down the block. I stayed home because I was cooking. When I looked out of my front window, I saw a friggin’ HUGH white dog running loose in my yard. Knowing how dogs are when one is unleashed, and never before seeing this dog, I called my Wife to warn her and ask how far from our house they all were.
They were two houses away.
I quickly grabbed my Springfield XDm .45 and headed out the door with it behind my back just in time to try yelling the dog away and for my family to quickly get indoors. The dog started nipping at our dog and tried jumping on my nine year old Son -scaring him to tears. The, “Owner,” ran over while still talking on her cellphone and grabbed this beast and led it away.
My Wife and I spent 30 minutes trying to calm both of our Sons down. They were scared sh!tless. My nine year old was in tears.
Fast forward three hours. Time to take our dog for potty.
I have my .45 behind my back, my Fenix 900 lumen flashlight, and my cell.
My Wife has our dog on her leash. They’re doing their thing, I’m keeping alert.
BOOM! Out of nowhere comes dogzilla!
It’s halfway across the street running at full speed.
My Wife whimpers and hides behind me.
Our dog is frozen.
I pull out my light and gun, blast the beast in the face with full daylight and scream, “STOP!!!”
It instantly stops three feet from my driveway and bolts home.
Then, I hear some guy calling out from the house across the street where that mutt was heading, “Sorry. We’re getting rid of him tomorrow.”
Gun and light in hand, I yell, “That’s TWICE!!”
I then called the local sheriff and tell them the whole story (just in case there’s any calls about some long-haired dude screaming in his driveway pointing a flashlight and pistol at an unseen beast), and tell them that it happened, and that there’s no need for an officer to come by.
Haven’t seen that dog since.

I would NEVER want to shoot a dog. I LOVE animals.
If I had done that, it would have broken my heart.
But if it would have happened, it wouldn’t have been my fault.
That dog’s MORON owner letting it loose without a leash to roam free in the neighborhood would have been to blame.
It is not a “pitbull like breed.” Pitbulls are terriers, bulldogs are not.
Your logic seems to be - aggressive dog = pit bull like, or there is a “bull” in its name.
I notice the stabbed dog had a collar on it.
I've seen a 60 year old woman knock out one of a pair of fighting dogs
by merely twisting its collar, cutting off its air supply.
The dog went limp and the other dog immediately stopped attacking.
Unfortunately they don't teach this in school.
Michael Vick?
