DANGER DOG ATTACKS KIDS

Victims' families want answers over bulldog beast

- SARAH VESTY

A DANGEROUS dog was allowed to roam free after attacking an OAP and went on to savagely attack two children.

Now the families of the dog's victims have demanded to know why Pablo the American Bulldog was not taken off the streets.

The beast mauled a 72-year-old grandad as he tried to protect his own pet dog in Blackburn, West Lothian, in July 2021.

The OAP was rushed to hospital with severe injuries to his hand-which included broken bones and a severed thumb as well as bite marks on his face and legs.

When the victim's family complained to police they were told to contact the dog warden, and no criminal action was taken.

Pablo then launched a second savage attack in January 2022 where two children were attacked and their pet dog killed.
