"I drove XL bully from Ascot to Scotland ahead of ban"

Justine usually lives in Berkshire - but she has temporarily moved to Scotland with an American XL Bully dog she rescued. Residents found the dog on the streets of Ascot tied to a tree, looking "distressed, cold & malnourished".

As of Thursday 1st February, it is illegal to own an unregistered XL Bully dog in England and Wales. The government says this is because of a "concerning rise in dog attacks and fatalities caused by this dangerous breed". XL Bully dogs are currently not banned in Scotland.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Berkshire's Kirsten O'Brien hears Justine's story. For more on this story, check the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News app.
