The article contrasts two popular dog breeds in the UK: the cavapoo and the American XL bully, both rising in popularity amidst the pandemic. While cavapoos are celebrated and treated as fashionable companions, XL bullies face stigma and legislative restrictions following numerous serious attacks. A ban on owning XL bullies was implemented due to safety concerns, yet issues around dog attacks persist and have escalated, bringing into question the effectiveness of breed-specific legislation in ensuring public safety and addressing the complexities of dog ownership.
Both puppies symbolize the contrasting aspects of modern dog ownership in the UK: one considered a beloved companion and the other deemed dangerous.
The year since the ban on XL bullies has seen both confusion and attempts at responsible ownership, though the overall rising trend of dog attacks remains a concern.
