On a horrifying day,

a five-year-old girl named Farrah-Leigh Nichol faced a gruesome encounter with a pocket bully dog, which resulted in substantial facial injuries and a turbulent path of surgeries ahead. Farrah-Leigh had sought the owner's permission to pat the dog, a story that echoed the tragic case of 10-year-old Jack Lis who was mauled to death by a Bully XL last year.


Farrah-Leigh's parents, Danielle Kemp and Alex Nichol, described their daughter as a 'beautiful, amazing and bubbly' little girl who is now hospitalised with substantial facial injuries and will require at least two more skin graft operations. They are heartbroken and traumatised, with Danielle acknowledging that her daughter’s screams from that fateful day will be 'haunted forever'.


The incident brings back painful memories for Emma Whitfield, whose 10-year-old son Jack Lis was killed by another of the Bully breed named 'Beast', last year in Caerphilly, South Wales. Emma is understandably concerned about the Bully breed, advocating for government intervention to safeguard children from further attacks.


The incident in question took place in Teesside, outside the Nisa store on Norton Road, as Farrah-Leigh and her father Alex were on their routine visit to the local store. After requesting to pet the dog, Farrah-Leigh's life took a tragic turn when she was attacked by the animal, sustaining severe facial injuries.


Her father Alex managed to repel the dog and quickly evacuated Farrah-Leigh from the scene. Recounting the incident at home, Alex pressed the need for dog owners to remain cautious with their pets, suggesting that muzzling could be an effective countermeasure to stave off potential attacks in the future.


The dog, identified as a pocket bully – a cross between an American Pit Bull Terrier and a Patterdale Terrier – has since been destroyed according to reports. Family and friends rally around Farrah-Leigh and her parents, with efforts underway to raise funds to send her to Disney as a special treat once she fully recovers.


A call to action is loud and clear: besides Farrah-Leigh’s parents and Emma Whitfield, others, including Amy Hobson, whose daughter was mauled by an American Bulldog, are also advocating for governmental action. The community is looking for legislation to address the increasing number of dog attacks and fatalities.


Cleveland Police confirmed the dog involved in Farrah-Leigh's case has been seized and the owner cooperated with the authorities. However, as echoed by the victims' families, the question remains whether this is enough to prevent a future tragedy.

26 Decade-Defining Events in U.S. History

Image
Dividing history into decades is an arbitrary but sometimes very useful way of trying to understand the arcs and significance of events. Trying to identify any single event as crucial to the understanding of a given decade may be even more arbitrary. It is certainly subjective. Nevertheless, that attempt can at the very least be a catalyst for discussion. What follows is an attempt to identify decade-defining moments in the history of the United States since the country’s inception. 1770s: Declaration of Independence (1776) The centrality of the Declaration of Independence (1776) to the developments of the 1770s is self-evident. From the Boston Tea Party to the “shot heard round the world,” Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River, and the Valley Forge winter, the American Revolution’s pursuit of liberty was made meaningful by the founding document of the great American experiment in democracy. 1780s: Constitution of the United States of America (1787) With the war won, independenc...

Was there no in-flight movie then? Stunned Ryanair passengers stare open-mouthed as couple romp on Manchester to Ibiza flight

A randy couple romped on a Ryanair flight as passengers watched in shock and one filmed the saucy behaviour on his phone. The kinky couple didn't even bother to go to the lavatory and chose to get saucy in front of passengers on the flight from  Manchester  to Ibiza, at 8.20pm yesterday. Passengers watched as the woman clambered on top of her companion and they began to romp an hour into the flight to the party island. Kieran Williams, 21, from Preston, Lancashire, was astonished to see the couple's raunchy antics an hour into the flight on the budget airline. 'I heard them talking about it but I thought they were joking. The guy was shouting, "Anyone got a jelly?" meaning condom. We all laughed but then ten minutes later they actually did it. They seemed so drunk, they brought a lot of attention to themselves. 'You could see the girl taking off her pants and he pulled his trousers off. She started riding him. 'I had to get my p...
