XL bully rips off man's ear after pouncing on him as he slept
- Darren Shuttleworth-Long, a 52-year-old Swindon church volunteer, was attacked in his sleep by an XL bully dog on April 26 at an Exeter Street address.
- The unprovoked attack began after Darren fell asleep next to the dog he was looking after and lasted about 10 minutes before he escaped.
- During the assault, the dog bit off Darren’s right ear, tore at his nose, and caused numbness on the right side of his face, requiring emergency hospital treatment.
- Darren was admitted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, where he remained in intensive care for three days while surgeons repaired the remnants of his ear, and he is now awaiting reconstructive plastic surgery.
- Wiltshire Police detained a 24-year-old woman on allegations related to failing to properly manage a dog that inflicted injury, with the dog’s breed having been prohibited since February 2024.
