Showing Original Post only (View all)All hail Baby! Heroic pit bull saves family, 5 dogs from fire [View all]
http://now.msn.com/baby-the-pit-bull-hailed-as-hero-after-saving-family-from-fireThe pit bull terrier is being called a hero after saving her owners from a fire that ravaged their Wellston, Okla., home. Rhonda Westenberger and her sister, Evelyn, were asleep when Baby rushed to their sides, barking and pouncing on Evelyn until she woke up — in the nick of time. "If Baby hadn't woken Evelyn up, I don't think either one of us would have come out of it," Westenberger said. But Baby wasn't done. She returned to save the family's five other dogs, dragging out one that was hiding underneath a bed. "She is my hero," Westenberger said. "She's the hero for all of us."

I'll give it a rest when you quit trying to tell me what wonderful pets pit bulls make.

I will let my cousin's neighbor know. Maybe her 4 year old's dick will grow back.

no. i believe dogs have inherent traits, oh like water dogs, and herding dogs.

That's not quite true. They have inherent traits, but "born to kill" isn't a trait.

humans are the worst predators on this planet. I am getting to prefer dogs.

The dog haters usually stay away from "good news" stories, they're too interested in seeing blood.

Yeah, so she could get her mouth on each family member, including the other dogs.

You got everything correct, yet you still keep posting anti-dog shit like this.

It's easy to lie with statistics. Especially if you ignore the actual facts & fiddle w/ the numbers.

I think many dogs ARE misidentified as pits. Most people don't know what a pit looks like.

Cool! Great! Now be so kind as to have those dogs neutered so their progeny don't kill anyone.

Impossible! All Pit Bulls are monsters that while away their lives just waiting for an opportunity
