Pregnant woman 'left severely injured' by XL Bully
A pregnant woman was allegedly left 'severely injured' after being attacked by an XL Bully in Aberdeenshire days before Christmas.
The woman was with her Staffordshire Bull Terrier dog near Udny Station when she was reportedly approached by the XL Bully.
Cheryl Kerr has been charged in court under the Dangerous Dogs Act following the incident on December 19 last year.
It is alleged that the 35-year-old was in charge of the animal, which was unmuzzled and 'dangerously out of control'.
The charge states that the XL Bully approached the pregnant woman before seizing her Staffy's head with its mouth.
It allegedly struggled violently with the victim, repeatedly biting and scratching her on the body to her severe injury. The Staffy was also allegedly bitten on the body repeatedly.
Kerr is also accused of allowing the XL Bully to be in a public place unmuzzled and without a lead.
The case called at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Thursday, where it was continued without plea until next month.

Gwent Police pressures identified in inspection report
Police and Community Support Officers, PCSOs, told HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services Gwent Police sends them to incidents they aren't trained or equipped to deal with including reports of people threatening violence, sometimes with weapons. The report has laid bare the pressures facing the force which has also had to regularly divert neighbourhood policing officers from their duties to attend incidents ranging from collecting drugs seized at ports and airports 'well outside the force area', to reports of illegal possession of XL Bully dogs and acting as detention officers in custody suites. Crime and disorder reduction officers said they have had to support domestic abuse hearings at court 'at short notice, which they don't feel trained for'. The inspection report, which found the Gwent force must improve how it investigates crime and protects the vulnerable, noted as a result officers often have had to cancel planned work with communities and partner agencies. The report also highlighted the demands on police sergeants with some overseeing more than 100 criminal investigations each while there were examples of sergeants responsible for as many as 247 and 336 cases. Investigating crime, protecting the vulnerable and leadership and force management were all graded as requiring improvement while recording data about crime was marked 'outstanding' in the report that covers the period 2023 to 2025. All other graded areas of the force's work were ranked as adequate including preventing crime which is where the inspectors highlighted concerns from PCSOs and neighbourhood policing teams about being pulled away from their core duties and responding to incidents they aren't equipped for. The inspectors also noted: 'Many neighbourhood policing staff reported low morale and infrequent contact with sergeants and inspectors.' Since January this year neighbourhood policing, along with response and criminal investigation departments, has formed one of the three pillars of Gwent Police's new operating model based on policing functions rather than local policing areas. But at the time of the inspection the force was yet to decide the optimum number of skilled staff required for the neighbourhood team and inspectors said it is 'too early to judge how effectively its new structures will translate into stable and consistent neighbourhood policing.' A Gwent Police car. The report did find neighbourhood teams 'are well briefed and work effectively to tackle crime and disorder in local communities' and highlighted a number of initiatives across the force area. Where the inspectors identified shortcoming in how the force investigates crime it highlighted the demand on sergeants and on protecting vulnerable people raised concern it doesn't have enough staff in its safeguarding hubs to meet demand. In response to the inspection report Chief Constable Mark Hobrough said Gwent Police has taken steps, over the past six months, to address the areas requiring improvement and was pleased the inspectors 'recognised us as outstanding in promptly and accurately recording crime, particularly in cases involving sexual offences and anti-social behaviour. 'We have made significant improvements in how we respond to the public, including consistent rapid responses to 999 calls from our force contact centre.'

XL Bully 'Scooby' spared destruction by Llandrindod court
A DOG described as 'well natured and lovely' will not be put down, as long as its Powys owner abides by a court order made this week. Charlotte Ball's XL Bully, named Scooby, was made the subject of a contingent destruction order by magistrates sitting in Llandrindod Wells on Tuesday, June 24. The case against Ball, 30, and Scooby, had been brought by Dyfed Powys Police, in accordance with the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Scooby is described as an adult male XL Bully type breed dog, fawn in colour with a white chest blaze. Nia Jones, representing Dyfed Powys Police at the hearing, said Ball, of Llwynpiod, Nant Glas, near Llandrindod, agreed with the terms of the order. 'This is a contingent destruction order,' said Ms Jones. 'It was unlawfully in possession of the respondent. But, she complied with everything required of her – the dog has been castrated, microchipped and insured. 'She was given a few deadlines but was a few days late, for example, in getting him castrated. DEFRA can't put him on an exemption list unless we get this paperwork. 'An expert met the defendant with the dog, to seize him. He was on a muzzle and a lead, and she had very good control of him. 'He is described as very well natured and lovely, he was commended by the kennels (where he was being kept) and she has been described as a fit and proper person. A cat even came past and he was calm. 'The force is very happy and content for us to return the dog to her, but we can't do it without this order.' Speaking on her own behalf, Ball said she had no objections and understood the terms of the order. The order states that Scooby must be kept on a lead and must be muzzled while in public. Ball must also have protection in place for visitors to her home and there must be no access to neighbouring houses for Scooby, and he is also not to be walked in public by anyone under the age of 18. Simon Green, chair of the bench, told Ball: 'We are content to grant the order. It is good to hear you're a responsible owner. We realise it was a clerical error.'

Lorraine Kelly 'shocked' by 'disgraceful' scandal at Dundee University
TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has said she's 'absolutely shocked' by the 'disgraceful' financial scandal at Dundee University. Speaking to STV News on Friday, the 65-year-old Glasgow-born TV star said she's 'heartbroken' and 'really angry' about it as well. 'It's shameful what's happened and what's been allowed to happen,' Kelly said. 'I have been absolutely shocked by the incompetence.' Kelly served as the rector of the University of Dundee about 20 years ago, from 2004 to 2007. It's a role she said she remains very proud of. She added: 'Where was the accountability? It's an absolute disgrace, it really is. And there are a lot of questions still to be asked.' Kelly celebrated her 40th year in television in 2024. She is the host of an STV daytime talk show, Lorraine, which she has presented since 2010. She said issues in Dundee are close to her heart. Kelly said: 'I feel very invested in what's going on, and I'm actually really angry about it as well. Hopefully it's going to get sorted and it won't happen again.' In December, the university announced that hundreds of jobs could be lost due to a £35m blackhole. An investigation published last week found serious concerns over governance and transparency at the highest levels. Led by Professor Pamela Gillies, the review found that the ex-principal and other senior leaders at Dundee University breached ethics rules, ignored financial red flags, and operated in 'isolation of facts'. 'I'm actually really heartbroken about what's happening at Dundee University, especially as it's graduation right now and there are all these bright, hopeful, young people who are going to do wonderful things in the world,' Kelly said. 'To think that might not happen in the future is devastating. 'We have to do everything we can to save the university, to make sure it keeps going, to make sure jobs are retained, and that people can still have the university in the city because the two are so linked.' On Thursday, the university's former principal Professor Iain Gillespie told MSPs he would consider returning a £150,000 payment he received when he stepped down after admitting he had been 'incompetent'.
