Emma Whitfield lost her son, Jack Lis, to a dog attack in November 2021. He was mauled to death by an XL Bully named Beast in Caerphilly, Wales, during a visit to a friend’s house after school.
Since then, more than 16 people - including a woman in her 70s at the weekend - have died in dog attacks. In a bid to stop it happening again, Emma will today make a heartfelt plea to MPs to introduce the Jack Lis Law so no other mother endures the heartbreak and trauma of losing a child to a dog attack.
Emma, 32, will urge MPs to back the Mirror’s campaign for changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act, telling them: “Everything I’m doing, I’m doing for Jack, to stop another Jack from happening.
