Ian Symes, 34, was the fifth person to be killed by an American Bully XL dog last year
An animal behaviour expert has issued a warning about the dangers of owning a 'super-breed' after an experienced dog walker was brutally mauled to death by an American Bully XL. An inquest has been opened into the death of Ian Symes, 34, who was killed by the "powerful" dog made of "pure muscle" while he walked him round a public park in Fareham, Hampshire, in August last year.
She revealed that out of the 10 Brits mauled to death by dogs in 2022, five of them were killed by the new 'super-breed' which has only existed for around 15 years and is "bigger and stronger" than their prohibited relatives.
Dr d'Sa said American XL Bullies have an "extreme bite force" and that after examining Kong, she noticed he quickly became aggressive after play and was so huge in size he was a borderline 'Extreme Bully'. Mr Jones said he discovered his killer dog and Mr Syme's body at the recreation ground on the evening of August 10 last year while walking home from his partner's house. He recalled: "Kong was licking blood and that's when I started freaking out and shouted for help... the dog was so calm and licking him, he didn't seem in an aggressive manner."
