Muzzled Mastiff Spotted After Savaging Royal's Dog

A powerful 10-stone Italian mastiff, known to be kept as a protection animal at a £30 million London mansion, was recently observed wearing a muzzle. This sighting occurred one week after the same dog brutally attacked Maud, a Jack Russell owned by Tom Parker Bowles, the Queen's son. The attack left Maud severely injured and fighting for her life.

Parker Bowles described a harrowing struggle on the pavement to free his terrier from the mastiff's jaws, ultimately resorting to kicking the larger dog. He rushed Maud to a veterinarian, deeply shaken by the incident. The mastiff belongs to Chinese businesswoman Maria Leung, whose multi-million-pound property is located in a wealthy area of West London.

Following the attack, Parker Bowles has called for mandatory muzzling of large, powerful dog breeds in public. While he does not wish for the attacking dog to be put down, he believes owners should be held responsible for controlling their animals. He highlighted the breed's predatory instincts and potential danger to both small dogs and children.
