Natasha Johnston, 28, suffered catastrophic injuries from "multiple penetrating bites" in the attack near Caterham, Surrey, back in January. Previously, it was reported that the dog responsible was an American Bully XL, and the animal was destroyed following an investigation. However, veterinary surgeon Dr Alison Robson - an expert court witness who examined Natasha's cause of death - has revealed that Stan was a pit bull, which is one of four breeds banned in the UK by the Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991. In November last year, Natasha reportedly rescued Stan from owners who planned to put him down after he bit one of their children. He also bit Natasha twice in the days leading up to the tragic attack, a friend said. Her pal Delia Lewis, whose own dog was among the pack that day, told the Daily Mail: "She felt Stan hadn't been trained and with the correct care and affection he'd be fine. Her boyfriend said it wasn't a good idea and, having seen how troublesome Stan could be, my response was, 'Are you sure?' "But she loved dogs with a passion and she was still grieving for her black staffy, Missy, who had recently died, so she didn't take our advice." According to the newspaper, Natasha sent a picture of herself with Stan four days after rescuing him. The image shows her cuddled up to the creature while wearing a fluffy onesie, as he snoozes in her arms. She sent it alongside the message: "Back to the sofa! I was ordered back to bed for a while!" Considering his violent history, Dr Robson believes it was "foolish" to walk him alongside other dogs, especially while off the lead without a muzzle.
