A BUILDER was left seriously injured after being mauled by an XL Bully during a tea break.
The dog, called Ozzy, repeatedly bit into the man’s leg, leaving his flesh ripped away from the bone.

It occurred while the builder was working on a home extension in Norwich on January 21.
While the owner had reportedly agreed to keep the dog inside, it escaped when the builder was asked if he wanted a drink.
The savage attack left the man needing surgery, as he is unsure if his lower leg will regain feeling.
In addition to the physical damage, the self-employed builder has also suffered financial damage as he has been left unable to work.
It comes after legislation in February 2024 made it illegal to own an XL Bully without an exemption certificate.
While Ozzy had been registered exempt, the attack could mean the dog is subject to a destruction order.
