A mum has backed plans to ban XL Bullies after she watched as her pet pooch was mauled to death by one of the dogs.<\/p>\n

Cammy Maguire, 39, was walking her Cavalier King Charles spaniel Beau in Chessington, southwest London, when it was set upon by an XL Bully puppy. Cammy claimed the animal had broken free from the 10-year-old girl who was reportedly walking it at the time.<\/p>\n

"Something needs to be done. This can\u2019t happen to another family. It\u2019s just ripped us apart," mum-of-two Cammy told MailOnline. <\/p>\n

The dog fatally attacked eight-year-old Beau not long after 5.30pm yesterday (Tuesday, September 19). It then allegedly bit into a witness' hand, who then required hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

She said the girl walking the dog had lost control of it when it raced towards Beau. "The girl could not do anything. She was only 10. She should never have been walking it," she added.<\/p>\n

A neighbour accompanied Cammy and her wounded pet to the vet, but it was too late \u2013 Beau was pronounced dead on arrival. Cammy said her family has been left "traumatised" by the incident and said her children are devastated by the death of their beloved canine.<\/p>\n

Maguire has since called for the dog who attacked Beau to be put down. She also echoed government calls for XL Bullies to be banned in the UK. <\/p>\n
