The negative XL Bully PR run of 2023 rolls on after a woman told the devastated owner of a dog mauled to death by her ex’s XL Bully that “it’s not my f***ing fault.”
Jade O’Brien, 36, was looking after her ex-partner’s dog, named Narla, when it attacked a person and killed a dog in two attacks just two weeks apart in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport.
During the first incident, a woman was walking her one-year-old spaniel with her two kids when she noticed Narla sprinting towards them in the street. She grabbed her dog, but Narla then attacked her instead, leaving her with serious arm and leg injuries.
In the second attack, a teenage girl was walking her small white dog near O’Brien’s home when it was mauled by the XL bully. The girl ran off in terror and her dog was rushed to the vets, where it had to be put down due to its catastrophic injuries.
When the girl’s dad confronted O’Brien, she told him: “It’s not my f****** fault. F*** off d***head.”
Turns out O’Brien has eight previous convictions for battery, excess alcohol and criminal damage, so maybe not the ideal person to be looking after someone else’s XL Bully. The reason she was looking after her ex-partner’s dog in the first place? He was in prison for assaulting her. Lovely…
O’Brien has now been handed a four-month prison sentence herself, after pleading guilty to two charges of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and one charge of using threatening/abusive/insulting words or behaviour. So at least she conceded that it was her f***ing fault, in the end.
In addition, District judge Thomas Mitchell ruled that O’Brien is banned from owing dogs for five years, has to pay a £154 victim surcharge, and made a destruction order for Narla. Seems reasonable enough.
