A nine-month-old baby boy was tragically killed in Rogiet, south-east Wales, after being attacked by a family dog, confirmed to be a six-year-old XL Bully. The incident occurred on Sunday, November 2, with emergency services responding around 6pm. The dog was seized and 'put down'. Gwent Police confirmed the dog was registered with the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) before the ban on the breed came into effect in England and Wales in February 2024. Assistant Chief Constable Vicki Townsend stated that no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. Locals speculated that fireworks near the property might have agitated the dog, causing it to panic and attack the baby. The community of Rogiet is in mourning, and authorities have urged against speculation to protect the family and the integrity of the investigation.
