On March 31st, an 84-year-old man named John McColle lost his life last February when an ex-ell bully dog mulled him on a driveway in Warrington. Cheshire. The dog, owned by 31-year-old Sean Garner, weighed seven stone and four pounds and had to be shot ten times by armed police to stop the attack. Garner and his pregnant partner plus two kids had moved into the home just three weeks earlier. He tricked the landlord by claiming they only had one French bulldog, but really kept two ex-ell bullies and a micro-bullie there. Neighbors rushed in with tools like a spirit level and walking stick to fight off the dog, while McColle's family now grapples with the horror. In court Tuesday, Garner's relatives wept as the guilty verdict hit for owning a dangerously out-of-control dog that caused fatal injury. He stayed. Prosecutors revealed the dog had no food in its stomach and was eating McColle alive, slamming Garner as reckless despite his claims the animal was.

Secured, he'd already admitted possessing ex-ell bullies without exemption papers after the breed got banned last February. With sentencing set for April 17th, this case underscores the risks of skimping on dog control, pushing owners to step up before more lives, shatter.
