Jonathan Hogg Wiki – Jonathan Hogg Biography
Jonathan Hogg was killed Thursday night by a “runaway” dog just four months after his son was born, and three days before his daughter’s second birthday. Police have seized 15 dogs and £37,500 ‘criminal’ loot after arresting a second person over an attack by an American Bully XL dog that killed a 37-year-old father.
The father-of-two was mutilated in the throat by an American Bully XL at a home in Leigh, Greater Manchester. He was taken to the hospital but died shortly after. Greater Manchester Police said they have made a second arrest in connection with the attack and have seized items worth a total of £37,500 believed to be “the result of criminal gains”.
A 24-year-old man has already been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog causing injuries resulting in death. He remains in custody for further questioning. “We just had a baby and now I have to explain to our children why his father left,” his girlfriend, Liberty Farrimond, 24, told the Daily Mail.
Jonathan Hogg was Dies After Dog Attack
‘He was an amazing father. He would have done anything for them. He was a stay-at-home dad and loved being with his children. He has now been taken away by a dog. Our daughter turns two on Sunday and he should be there. He is not fair.
His friends called him Oggy, but my family and I called him Hogg Roast because he was so good at Sunday dinner. He did them every weekend. “He was so well known and everyone loved him, that’s all he said, about how much he adored his friends and children.”
Officers were called to an address in Leigh, Greater Manchester, at 9:10 p.m. following reports of “well-being concern” from a man. The dog was forced into a shed in a yard next to a static caravan, and when armed officers arrived, the animal was shot and killed.
Known to his friends as Oggy, his brother shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, saying: “I can’t believe I’m writing this but rest easy kid.” ‘Heartbroken is not the word. I didn’t want to leave you this morning. I love you, brother.’
Another friend wrote: ‘I can’t believe this, what a great guy. ‘R.I.P Oggy, my thoughts are with your family.’ A third said: ‘RIP Oggy. You had a heart of gold. ‘You would do anything for anyone. We will miss you, great man. Neighbors said the man who died may have been “play-fighting” with the animal when it suddenly turned on him.
They were alerted by the man’s barking and cries of ‘help me’, and they tried to throw stones at the dog in desperation. David Broxon, who runs a nearby car dealership and whose eldest son Jordan witnessed the tragedy, said: “My son was burning rubbish and the dog started barking.”
He continued: “He came out and started petting him, just telling him to shut up, and then he started playing wrestling with him, but suddenly he turned on him.” ‘[He] yelled ‘help me’ to my boy, who tried to stop what was happening by throwing rocks at the dog, but by then it had gotten out of hand.

‘It just happened in minutes. Jordan and his partner called the emergency services. My boy is traumatized, he saw it all. Broxon said his son was too upset to comment.
The tragedy is the latest in a series of dog attacks in the past month. On April 29, a five-month-old baby required hospital treatment after being attacked by a dog in Penyrheol, Caerphilly, South Wales. The week before, Wayne Stevens, 51, died after being attacked by a dog in Derby, who was later shot dead.
Greater Manchester Police said armed officers used “every available tactic to subdue” the animal before it was destroyed because it posed a “significant risk” to the public. Detective Superintendent Simon Hurst, from GMP’s Wigan District, said: ‘Firstly I would like to express my condolences to the loved ones of the victim of this attack. Our officers and our partners are currently supporting the victim’s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.
‘A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog causing injuries resulting in death. “We recognize that this incident will cause concern in the local area and we would like to reassure the public that we are exploring all possible avenues to protect the local community and the animal involved.”
“We urge members of the public to come forward if they have any information regarding this incident, any information you may have may be of great assistance to our investigation.” A neighbor said: ‘I was sitting at my window and I heard two ambulances with their blues on. They ran to the courtyard, both entered there. Then a police car came and parked on the road.
‘More police vehicles arrived, I counted about six policemen parked all the way. There was also a police van and a smaller van that looked like a dog unit. They were all here until early morning, at least 1 am. Then at 6am this morning another police car came and parked across the street.
“I had no idea what was going on, but I knew it was serious because of the response and how long they were here.” Another resident said: ‘There were so many ambulances and police cars. They were all at the end of the street. And lots and lots have been coming and going ever since.
I was up until one in the morning trying to see what had happened. I have no idea but you can’t imagine how many police and ambulances there were so obviously it’s not good and it’s something very serious. It is very sad.’ One woman said: ‘I was sitting on the sofa and I saw two ambulances arrive first and then two police cars. Then I saw the ambulance come in. Then more police cars appeared.
‘Later, the officers in black caps came out, one was holding a large gun and the other had a gun next to him. It is awful. So sad, but also scary that it happens so close. Another neighbor said: ‘I fell asleep on the sofa as I do and when I woke up there were police cars all over the street.
‘I had no idea what was going on. But then I heard two shots. I know the sounds of guns and it was definitely gunshots. I also have a dog and he is very sensitive to sounds so it scared both of us.
