A couple from Aberdeen shares their terrifying experience with an XL bully dog attack.
In a shocking incident that has left the Aberdeen community reeling, a couple has shared their harrowing experience of witnessing their beloved dog being attacked by an XL bully. The couple, Klaudia Jackowska and Ryan Gray, described the terrifying moment when their 10-year-old sheepdog, Clyde, was savagely mauled by a dog named Bailey, which tragically killed its owner, 41-year-old Michelle McLeod, just days later.
On a fateful day in August, Klaudia and Ryan were at home when they heard a commotion outside. “My partner started to scream and I heard snarling,” Klaudia recalled, her voice trembling as she recounted the events. The XL bully had somehow managed to slip its muzzle and had Clyde’s entire face in its mouth. Neighbors rushed to help, and it reportedly took seven people to rescue Clyde from the aggressive grip of Bailey.
Despite the brutal nature of the attack, Clyde survived, albeit with bite marks on his ear. However, the incident has left a lasting impact on him. Ryan noted that Clyde, usually a friendly dog, has become “a lot more jumpy” since the attack. This change in behavior has raised concerns for the couple, who worry about the psychological effects on their pet.
In the aftermath of the attack, Klaudia and Ryan observed changes in their neighborhood. They initially believed that their neighbor’s dog, Bailey, had been sold or given away due to its absence. However, when they finally saw the dog again, they were shocked by its drastic weight loss, going from “being mega buff to being quite skinny.” This transformation raised questions about the dog’s well-being and the circumstances surrounding its care.
Klaudia expressed her concerns, stating, “The dog didn’t listen to her (Michelle). But from what I saw, he was very defensive of her.” This observation adds another layer of complexity to the situation, suggesting that Bailey may have been protective of its owner, yet dangerously aggressive towards other dogs.
The tragic events surrounding Bailey have sparked discussions within the community about dog ownership and responsibility. Following the fatal attack on Michelle McLeod, it was reported that a woman has been charged in connection with the incident. This has raised awareness about the importance of responsible pet ownership and the potential dangers posed by certain breeds.
Klaudia and Ryan concluded their account by stating, “There’s been a lot of mishaps with this animal.” Their experience serves as a cautionary tale for dog owners and highlights the need for vigilance when it comes to aggressive breeds. As the community grapples with the aftermath of these events, it is clear that discussions about safety and responsibility in pet ownership are more important than ever.
