The mum of Jack Lis - the 10-year-old mauled to death by a dog - has said life remains for her a 'living hell'. Emma Whitfield was being interviewed on ITV's Wales at Six more than a year on from her son's death and called for tougher sentencing for owners of dangerous dogs that hurt people
She said: “There’s no words for how much I miss him- there’s no measurement because he was my life and that’s gone, he’s gone.” She added: “If there’s something that describes being beyond angry, I’m probably there. I just don’t understand how it came to this.”
On November 8, 2021, Jack had gone out to play in Penyrheol, Caerphilly, when he was invited to see a dog when no adults were present. Jack suffered catastrophic injuries after being attacked by the XL bully called Beast. You can read the full story of what happened here.
