Aisleyne Horgan‑Wallace Hospitalised After XL Bully Bite Leaves Bone Exposed

Her Instagram account raises whether owner responsibility or the UK's XL Bully restrictions are preventing attacks.

Overview

  • The former Big Brother contestant said she was bitten by an XL Bully over the weekend and was rushed to hospital for urgent treatment.
  • She posted photos showing a wound she says exposed bone and warned the injury will leave permanent scarring and pain.
  • One image she shared was taken minutes before the attack and her posts urged owners to understand large‑dog behaviour and supervise children.
  • In the UK an American XL Bully is illegal to own without a Certificate of Exemption and exempt dogs must be neutered, microchipped, muzzled and kept on a lead in public.
  • Coverage notes that roughly 800 XL Bully dogs were destroyed by police and about 400 were put down under a government compensation scheme after the ban and that no public police update on this specific incident has been reported.
