## Resource

Starting November 1, leaving kids under 12 alone with banned dogs in Scotland could land you six months in jail or a £5,000 fine—yes, even at home. This tough new rule updates the Dangerous Dogs Act, targeting XL bully breeds and aiming to protect children before incidents happen. While most owners are safe, authorities are cracking down on irresponsible ones, working with police and animal groups. Since 2024, over 3,400 XL bully owners have gotten exemptions—but only if they follow strict rules like leashing, muzzling, microchipping, and neutering. It’s a clear warning: kids’ safety comes first, and the law won’t wait. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
