John Paul Massey died from head and neck injuries in the attack at his grandmother's home in Wavertree.
Merseyside Police said the dog was a "pitbull terrier-type", a breed banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act. A criminal investigation has begun.
The force has apologised after earlier reports of dog breeding at the Ash Grove property were not followed up.
In February, a housing officer told police residents had complained about suspected dog breeding but were told it was not a police matter.
This is just horrific...I don't know why people even want these fucking dogs!
Seriously, they kill people, they're bred to KILL PEOPLE!
and these bastards just claim they want them for protection!?
You don't need fucking protection from an Animal that's probably more likely to kill a child than an adult!
Seriously, I don't know if any Americans will know this but basically we have illegal dog breeds in the UK, they types used for Dog-fighting and the breed of Dog came into existence because of specific breeding (A lovely show of Evolution, no?) these Dogs are overly aggressive and strong, able to kill most people if they honestly wanted to, now, in some areas of the UK teenagers have these Dogs just to be feared, you'll see kids walking down the streets with them on leads and extreme cases use them to attack people (They can be trained fairly easily) or mug people.
It's disgusting and something REALLY needs to be done about this.
