Merseyside Police were called to reports of a dog being attacked by another dog on Old Hall Road, Maghull, on Sunday at around 4.45pm.

Officers confirmed the small dog was taken to a veterinarian for an examination and the XL Bully’s owner was questioned by police.
Footage of the attack surfaced on social media, where people expressed anger that the XL Bully was not on a leash.
One person asked: “Why is the dog off leash?” This is what I don’t understand. The person who posted the video said the dog had run away.

Earlier today it was revealed a man was arrested on suspicion of owning a dangerously out-of-control dog after an 11-year-old girl was mauled by an XL American Bully.
West Midlands Police said they arrested a 60-year-old man following the weekend incident, which also left two people injured.
The American XL Bully and Staffordshire bull terrier cross puppy broke free of his collar in Bordesley Green in Birmingham on Saturday afternoon and savaged Ana Paun, 11, as she walked home from shopping for sweets with her sister .
Police said two men who tried to lure the dog away from the Ana were also attacked and injured as the horror unfolded on a busy street and in a petrol station forecourt.
There was also another incident today involving two American Bully XL dogs who broke into a garden and savagely mauled a cat to death.
The two beasts were captured in the middle of the night on Ring doorbell footage bursting into the front garden of a house in Hounslow, west London.
The animals launched themselves towards a cat, which managed to run into a bush and escape. But a second cat wasn’t so lucky, as it was tackled to the ground by the growling dogs, who tore the screaming feline apart and killed it.
The attack is the latest in a series of incidents in suburban London which have terrified the community – and comes amid growing pressure for the “deadly” XL Bully breed to be banned in Britain.
