A GoFundMe campaign to support an XL bully has smashed its £100 target.

Posts on social media claimed that the dog had been left in a back garden while its owners went to England.

Due to concern for the animal, called Koda, the organiser of the GoFundMe page, Conor Fyall, went to get him.

The GoFundMe page states: “We are now taking care of Koda for the time being and in touch with the relevant groups and authorities.

“Due to the amount of people who wanted to help Koda, I’ve made this.

“I’m not begging for anyone’s money at all, but I know how much people like to help an animal in need, this will help me get him new collars, leads, toys, muzzle and anything else I have to get him to insure that he stays with me, thank you in advance everyone.”

The fundraiser had a target of £100, but it smashed this and is currently sitting at £1,045.
