Inside the UK's 'danger dog capital' where locals are too scared to walk down the street

In the country’s “dangerous dog capital”, owners parade their XL Bullies around the park and use public spaces as illegal breeding grounds at night, it is claimed.

Locals speak of being too frightened to walk down the street, and of being wary of taking young children out for the day.

Figures released in May by NHS England revealed that you are almost 10 times more likely to be bitten by a dog in Knowsley, Merseyside, than the rest of Britain.
