    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The woman, who was in her 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene in Cornwall Close, Hornchurch, and the two registered dogs were safely seized having been contained inside a room, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan police said.

    A spokesperson for the Met said: “Police were called to Cornwall Close around 1.12pm … to reports of a woman attacked by a dog.

    “These were registered XL bully dogs and prior to officers’ arrival had been contained inside a room in the house.

    From 1 February, it became a criminal offence to own the XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate.

    Footage of an XL bully dog attacking members of the public in the street in Birmingham, including a 11-year-old girl who sustained shoulder and arm injuries, prompted an outcry in September.

    In November 2021, 10-year-old Jack Lis was mauled to death by a seven-stone XL bully dog called Beast.


    The original article contains 344 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 56%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

        I’m definitely judging you for your use of single quotation marks. Not a lot, but… I am.

              I agree, of course, I just wanted to see if your desire to chide me for imperial measures outweighed your desire to congratulate my use of double quotes.

                It wasn’t about whether you use single or double as much as the context in which he used them.

                Sort of like this, which has always annoyed me:

                    A similar thing that’s bothering me with the syntax of that sentence. It’s just… off a bit.

                    See how I used italics instead of quotations marks? I feel like he (and the picture) used them sort of as emphasis for tone of voice. I get the need, but disagree using quotations to achieve it.
