Lee Brown says he tried to 'whack' a dog with a brush as it mauled David Daintree to death.
A man who tried to fight off an XL bully with a broom as it mauled his friend to death has said the dog "just turned on him".
Neighbours said Mr Daintree, 53, and another man had been trying to separate two dogs that had been fighting shortly before the attack occurred. Armed police arrived shortly after the attack and shot the dog, which was considered to still pose a threat. Lancashire Police said Mr Daintree was the owner of the XL bully, but had only had the dog "a relatively short time".Under the Dangerous Dogs Act, it is illegal for someone to leave an XL bully in someone else’s care or give it to a new owner, unless the receiver of the dog also has an exemption certificate.
