Breeder whose American Bully dogs mauled 4-year-old girl sheltered 14 animals in his property
CARRINGTON, ENGLAND: A breeder whose American Bully dogs mauled a four-year-old girl reportedly sheltered 14 dogs in his house. The little girl was playing with a friend in a neighboring garden near Manchester United's training ground when she got savaged by four dogs. The neighbors of the breeder revealed that he kept 14 dogs around the house and in a caravan.
Locals recalled the tragic incident that took place on Ackers Lane, Trafford, shortly before 2.40 pm on Sunday, March 26, while speaking to Daily Mail. They recalled the little girl's mother screaming, 'Help me – my baby' while trying to pull the animals away. Both mother and father and neighbors reportedly rushed to the scene to fight off the dogs from the wailing girl on Sunday afternoon. The girl was immediately hospitalized with injuries and is currently in stable condition. Locals claimed the dogs escaped from a neighbor's home and attacked her as she played in a front garden in Carrington, Greater Manchester.

'Help me, help me – my baby'
"He's a breeder. You see loads of these Bully-type dogs there. There were puppies he kept in a caravan. The police have been here loads of times to speak to him about different things. This was an accident waiting to happen," one neighbor said. We were all alerted by the horrible screams. I heard her mum scream: 'Help me, help me – my baby.' We ran out and the girl just screamed and then went limp. She was covered in blood. Her mother and father, along with some neighbours, were pulling off the dogs. It was horrendous. She's only little. Her parents drove to hospital as they thought it would be quicker. The girl was in a bad way. She had been bitten on her face and head. I am just hope she's going to be OK. It is not the first time the police have been to his house," another neighbor said recounting the ordeal.
'Four dogs have been taken away by specialist'
According to Daily Mail, police arrested three people on the suspicion of owning a dangerous dog. They later seized four canines which were taken away by specialists.
