Another video posted by Nicola Morey, who was named locally as the 23-year-old woman mauled to death by a dog in Ireland on Tuesday, appears to show her pets and is captioned: "But if one of us dies - I hope I die first".

According to her social media, Ms Morey was the loving owner of what appears to be an XL bully.

In one video on TikTok, she is seen dancing with a dog in a kitchen.

The video is covered by a male voice saying: “This is my son and I don’t give a f*** if you think he looks aggressive and I don’t give a f*** if you don’t like the look of him and I surely don’t give a f*** whether you think the breed should be banned.”

Another chilling video appearing to show her as the owner of several dogs is captioned: “But if one of us dies - I hope I die first.” The video ends with a caption reading: “Love my family.”

    It’s unpopular, but I don’t think the breed should be banned.

    What should happen is strict licensing laws should be established to ensure that the person in charge of their care follows set instructions, such as:

    • Regular obedience check ups to ensure that the dog poses no danger.
    • Visits to ensure that the dog is in a suitable household - no kids, people that can take care of it, etc.
    • Ensure that the owner is aware of the risks, and can take legal responsibility of owning a XL Bully.

    I’ve known people with XL Bullies, and those dogs appeared to me to be sweet dogs that loved playing, sleeping, and being a part of their family. IMO, all dogs are dangerous in their own way, because ultimately you have no idea of their mental state, and you should treat pets accordingly instead of projecting human attitudes/emotions to them.
