In the UK, a five-year-old boy's in hospital with head injuries after being bitten by a dog in Hull.
Humberside Police have seized the animal, which it says is an 'XL Bully type'.
It became a criminal offence to own the breed in England and Wales in February, without an exemption certificate.
The child's condition isn't known.
According to Sky News, Detective Chief Inspector Allison Sweeting said on Tuesday: "We are working closely with the boy's family and the owner of the dog to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"At this stage, the breed of dog is believed to be an XL bully type and it has been seized as part of our enquiries."
