A man was rushed to hospital after his testicles were ripped off by an XL Bully.
The victim, who has asked to remain anonymous, was admitted to hospital in Chesterfield, Derbyshire on October 10 and had eight stitches.
His partner told The Sun: “He was writhing on the floor and said ‘it’s grabbed my b*****ks’.”
However, even as the dog, named Envie, stopped attacking the man, he then turned onto the partner and bit her shin.

The pair were rushed to hospital, and she is still recovering from her injuries.
Following the attack, Envie has now been euthanised.
The man’s testicles have now been reattached.

Rishi Sunak announced back in September that the breed is set to be banned by the end of the year.
In a video posted on X, formally known as Twitter, the Prime Minister said: “These dogs are dangerous and I want to reassure the public we will take all the necessary steps to keep them safe.”
From next week, owners will be required to muzzle their dogs. It will be illegal to breed, sell, advertise, exchange, gift, rehome, abandon or allow XL bully dogs to stray in England and Wales.
Since 2021, the breed has been responsible for more than 70 per cent of all dog-related deaths in the UK.
If you own an XL Bully, it will have to be neutered.
XL Bullies less than one year old on January 31, 2024 must be neutered by December 31, 2024.
Any XL Bully older than one year old on January 31, 2024 must be neutered by June 30, 2024.
The Government is recommending any owners to organise their dogs to be neutered as soon as possible.
