With the recent attention of American XL bully dog attacks, people are reconsidering Natasha\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, Stan was identified as an American XL Bully, which originally set off the nickname of \u2018Devil Dog \u2019 and caused public outcry for the breed to be banned.<\/p>\n<p>While later it has been revealed that Stan was a Bull Terrier, it appears that the lingering shock of this savage death is still influencing the safe dog debate today.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article30955883.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/0_chech.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> Putin&apos;s warlord Ramzan Kadyrov in \u2018critical condition\u2019 after &apos;relapse&apos;, claim Ukraine<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stan has spent the last seven months in a specialist kennel, away from the public awaiting the result of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Lewis&apos; dog Shiva was also taken away after the incident but was returned in July, according to the Daily Mail. <\/p>\n<p>She added: &quot;Our dogs are on death row. The police said if there was any indication they had bitten Natasha, even if the bite wasn&apos;t fatal, they would be put down.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Still, they made us feel our dogs were murder suspects and wouldn&apos;t even let us visit them, I assume in case we tried to free them. It has been an absolute nightmare.
