Seven-year-old Lydia was bitten by an XL bully a year ago when she was walking to post a letter.

Her father, Matt , says he can't stop thinking about what happened to his daughter.

He contacted Your Voice Your BBC News to meet an owner to see if he could get some answers.

Lily Collins , 25 , says she wants to show another side of XLs, which she thinks often gets overlooked.

RSPCA renews its calls for dog licensing schemes to be introduced across the UK .

There could be as many as 100,000 XL bullies in Britain , including many that have not been registered.

Matt would like licences to be mandatory for all big dogs that can cause harm - and to be conditional on owners showing they have done correct training.
