It is inconceivable for a student to go out to play one day and not return home. But the XL Bully named Beast was too powerful and too violent to stop. As the 10-year-old’s lifeless body was pulled from a house in Penyrheol, Caerphilly, by police, Jack was already dead with “catastrophic and non-surviving” injuries. Shots were heard around the road as gun officers shot and killed Beast to prevent him from endangering anyone else.

But they will be vindicated for their gross negligence that led to an innocent boy being robbed for the rest of his life in a deadly dog attack. This is the complete story of how Jack Lis was killed by a dangerous dog. The dog named Beast who carried out the attack (Image: WALES NEWS SERVICE) Bought on Facebook Brandon Hayden, 19, of Pen y Bryn, Penyrheol, bought the Beast on November 3 in response to a Facebook ad. He was told that the dog would be free to anyone who wanted to give him a good home. The seller said the animal was not good with other dogs, but Hayden agreed to take ownership of the Beast, believing it was prone to aggressive behavior. Although his house was too small for the Beast and his father too ill to care for him, Hayden continued the deal, seeing the dog as a symbol of status. She asked her friend Amy Salter if she would be willing to keep the dog at home. Salter, 29, then from Pentwyn, Penyrheol, initially rejected the request, feeling nervous about the size of the Beast, but later backed down and agreed to let Beast live in her home. Hayden received a spare key to allow the animal to walk and would be responsible for providing food and water. Brandon Hayden, 19, was the owner of the Bulldog when he attacked and killed Jack Lis in Caerphilly. Amy Salter, 29, was the head of the Bulldog when he attacked and killed Jack Lis in Caerphilly. Aggressive behavior was recorded by the camera In the days leading up to Jack’s death, Hayden and sometimes Salter could be seen wandering out of the Top Shops at Penyrheol with the Monster in tow. On several occasions the dog was recorded on a closed circuit television barking and barking at people on the street. On several occasions, Beast attempted to attack passersby as Hayden and Salter watched and laughed. The dog also scared the children, with a boy abandoning his scooter for fear of being bitten. Hayden barely managed to keep the animal under control as he pulled and stretched the leash.

Hayden initially did not believe that Mr. Ball was bitten, but as soon as he showed him the wound, the accused hit the Beast on the head. On November 7, another victim, Sian Sullivan, approached the dog again outside the Top Shops and asked Hayden if the Beast would bite, but he told her he would only jump up. She went to caress the Beast, but he threw her and grabbed her hood while grunting. She felt the hood tear and closed her eyes in fear. A CCTV brochure dated 4/11/2021 of the Beast dog in Heol Aneurin, Caerphilly, barking at a girl Hayden kicked Bast in the chest, but he was not intimidated or let go of his hands. Mrs. Sullivan was injured in the chest, was in shock, trembled and burst into tears when she returned home. In another incident, Hayden’s father was caring for Beast, but when he spoke to his neighbor in the garden, the dog softened his neighbor Jack Russell, something that Hayden’s father was unable to prevent. Despite the warnings, the defendant retained ownership of the Beast and Salter, continued to allow the animal into her home and provided shelter, food and water only with an open bathroom door preventing him from going upstairs. He had no equipment or cage to hold the Beast if he became violent. Snapshots of the dog Beast in the days before the fatal attack on Jack Lis (November 4 to 7, 2021). Photo here with Brandon Hayden The fatal attack On November 8, Salter went to work and Hayden brought Basto back home at 3 a.m. after taking him for a walk. After finishing school for the day, Jack was invited to see the dog when there were no adults. Jack was initially nervous about the Beast, but reassured of his safety, he climbed on the dog to give him a stroke. But Beast jumped violently with his feet out and sent Jack to crash to the floor before proceeding to attack him deadly.

At the start of the investigation, Jack received “severe head and neck injuries.” Attempts were made to save Jack, but the Beast is said to have been “very strong” and they were unable to prevent him from attacking Jack. Neighbor Kurt Wiegold rushed to Salter’s address and saw the dog attacking a boy through the glass panel, but was unable to enter. Police at the scene of the attack (Image: John Myers) He described seeing a “terrible scene” through a small opening and closing the door to prevent the dog from coming out and attacking others. He then called the emergency services. Hayden had been called and when he got to the spot, he looked inside the door before closing it quickly. Mr Wiegold described Hayden as “horrified” and that he had left as police arrived on the street. Crowds gathered outside the house with initial confusion about how many children were inside the property with the dog. Police tried to distract Beast by knocking on the kitchen window. Sergeant Ross Phillips came in and dragged Jack’s body into the garden, holding the Beast as he tried to get out of the house. Paramedics tried to cure Jack but he was already dead. Flowers left at the site of the fatal attack (Image: John Myers) Firefighters entered the house loaded with firearms and shot Beast in an upstairs bedroom. The dog was found to weigh 96.5 kg and was described as “muscular”. The crowd outside the house included Jack’s parents, but they were still unsure of the boy’s identity inside the house. Upon receiving a description of Jack, police confirmed that he was dead and reported the devastating news to his parents that their son was dead.

Hayden made a prepared statement saying he had responded to a Facebook ad for a 15-month-old male dog that weighed about 100 pounds. He said he was told the dog was wonderful with humans. He said he asked Salter if he wanted the dog and she gave him a key to access the dog. He said he would take the Beast for walks two or three times a day. Defendant said he had no concerns about the dog and Salter did not express any concerns. When he flew the Beast to Salter’s home on November 8, he said the house was empty. (Image: John Myers) He said he later received an emergency call but was unable to enter Salter’s home. Hayden said he “would never forget the images he saw” and “would never get them out of his mind.” He said, as far as he was concerned, the dog belonged to Salter. In interviews, Salter said that Hayden asked her to take care of the dog and initially said “no”, but later agreed that Bast could stay with her for a few days. She later said the dog was “okay” and allowed him to stay at her house. Defendant said she “felt pressure” to set up and had concerns about her owner. He said he gave Hayden a key to get around as he wanted, as he was in charge of caring for the dog. She said she had no worries about Beast other than urinating on her carpet and bed. Salter said that if she knew the dog was dangerous she would never let him into her house. He said Hayden was responsible for walking, feeding and watering the dog, but thought the dog still belonged to the person who did the Facebook ad. Jack’s funeral Hundreds of people attended Jack’s funeral at St Martin’s Church in Caerphilly on November 25. The mourners wore red, Jack’s favorite color. A procession led by Jack’s favorite cars, including a Delorean similar to Back to the Future, drove through Cwm Ifor Elementary School, where red balloons containing messages from students were released. Musical tributes included Start Over by Flame, See You Again by Wiz Khalifa, and Ramz’s Family Tree. Jack’s family also included photos of him in his school uniform and on his bicycle. The Reverend Mark Greenway Robbins told the church: “None of us expected to be here and nobody wanted to be here. But let’s think about how we remember Jack. Maybe we’ve been watching movies like Fast and Furious “A memory of him that you appreciate and thank him for. And let us honor him for a moment in silence together. As we remember moments of tears and laughter, we thank God for the love we shared for Jack.” A special tribute from Jack’s mother wrote: “The …
