Vets reveal the innocent-looking dog breeds that can prove DEADLY

Natasha Johnston , 28 , was mauled to death after being set upon by eight dogs.

The experienced walker suffered penetrating dog bites to her torso, neck and arms.

Two dogs a labradoodle and an American XL Bully were put down at the request of her family.

RSCPA and Kennel Club are calling for 'urgent action' to tackle dog bites.

Between 1989 and 2017 , 48 people including 20 children died in dog-related incidents.

Among adults, Staffordshire Bull Terriers were involved in the most incidents ( 4 ), followed by American Bulldogs ( 3 ), German Shepherds ( 3 ) and Pit Bull terriers ( 3 ). French Mastiffs ( 2 ).

The Kennel Club added: 'The problem of dangerous dogs is a social one and needs to be tackled through the enforcement of effective legislation that seeks to curb irresponsible owners of all types of dog and better educate the dog-owning public to prevent incidents before they occur. 'We believe that preventative legislation should be based on the principle of "deed not breed" and centre around the introduction of dog control notices, a form of statutory improvement notice for dog owners of all types of dog.'.
