Don't let them get away with the breed-name game. A so-called 'English bull terrier' is just a pit bull bred to have an especially ugly nose.
I live opposite this woman. Turns out her last dog (Japanese Akita) killed someone's dog and she was bound over. She was a police officer at the time. Now she's an alcoholic who screams at people and appears not to remember it later. She's had this dog near kids in the street before, assuring them it was friendly. Doubt she will get much punishment.
