Kimberley Link suffered life-changing injuries after she was severely bitten by a dog she believes was an XL Bully, a breed the Government is planning to ban
A woman left with life-changing injuries following an attack by a suspected XL Bully has revealed how the assault was so petrifying she “couldn’t scream”.The attack took place in July 2022 in Eltham, south London. It forced Ms Link into an office role when she returned to work six months later.
“I actually realised that I couldn’t scream because I was that scared,” Ms Link said. “I was absolutely petrified. Obviously I didn’t realise the extent of what had happened.” She underwent three surgeries in three days: one to remove the tooth and clean the wound, another to repair the damaged nerves and a skin graft to cover the damaged skin.
Professor Vivien Lees, plastic surgeon and vice president at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, sees multiple serious dog bite victims each week.
