Khaberni - A nine-month-old British infant died after sustaining a fatal head injury from a violent attack by an "XL Bully" dog inside his family's home in the city of Rojiet, Wales, according to the coroner's inquest into the case.
According to "BBC", the attack occurred on November 2, 2025, while the infant was at his father's home, where the dog bit him severely in the head area, causing serious injuries. Despite being rushed to "Grange" University Hospital, the child died before arrival.
During the inquisition, the judge confirmed that the death was directly due to a compressive head injury caused by the dog's attack, and that the bite was so severe that it was considered the primary cause of death.
The police stated that the dog attacked the infant after being terrified by the sound of fireworks being set off near the home, causing it to panic and lose control before fiercely attacking the child.
This was followed by the arrest of the child's parents on suspicion of negligence, as they were responsible for the dog that became out of control inside the home. However, the police later released them on bail pending ongoing investigations.
The involved dog was six years old, officially registered with the Ministry of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, and had a waiver certificate issued in 2024, a document that grants some families the right to keep this breed of dog despite legal restrictions. After the incident, the dog was seized and euthanized.
This breed has faced widespread criticism over the past two years due to a series of serious attacks, and as a result, British authorities have imposed strict restrictions on its ownership.
These conditions include prohibiting their sale, breeding, or abandonment; requiring a waiver certificate to keep them inside homes; mandating muzzling and restraining them in public places; the possibility of seizing any unregistered dog, and imposing penalties on their owners.
