the 5 other dogs did not bark or wake anybody. Baby saved all 5 of them, actually returning to the burning building to pull one dog out from under a bed.

are you sure it was a pit bull . . . all the experts here claim there is really no such thing DrDan May 2013 #2

Well if the owner claims she's a pit bull OwnedByCats May 2013 #65

Hope the pit haters take notice nt newfie11 May 2013 #3

yeah, like my neighbor who had her 5 y/o son killed by the family "pet" pitt bull. retired rooster May 2013 #13

Give it a rest newfie11 May 2013 #24

I'll give it a rest when you quit trying to tell me what wonderful pets pit bulls make. retired rooster May 2013 #25

Of course...because all members of the breed are exactly the same. Lizzie Poppet May 2013 #41

retired rooster, people kill people for sport. do we hate all people? roguevalley May 2013 #46

You do realize that there are no "bad" dogs only bad owners, right? Vincardog May 2013 #7

no. i believe dogs have inherent traits, oh like water dogs, and herding dogs. galileoreloaded May 2013 #10

You know nothing secondvariety May 2013 #12

Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody has one Vincardog May 2013 #22

That's not quite true. They have inherent traits, but "born to kill" isn't a trait. Honeycombe8 May 2013 #39

humans are the worst predators on this planet. I am getting to prefer dogs. roguevalley May 2013 #47

Great! Yet another in the Great DU Pit Bull Posting War!!! longship May 2013 #5

The dog haters usually stay away from "good news" stories, they're too interested in seeing blood. baldguy May 2013 #29

Exactly! nt pecwae May 2013 #50

I have never owned a pitbull LostOne4Ever May 2013 #57

And just 20-22 of those were pit bulls, pit bull "type" OwnedByCats May 2013 #62

Actually, the number deaths attributed to Pit Bulls is 2. Not 22. baldguy May 2013 #66

Well I'm not going to argue with you there OwnedByCats May 2013 #81

Yeah, so she could get her mouth on each family member, including the other dogs. Jamastiene May 2013 #55

That's great. Meanwhile here are some of the people killed by pit bulls this year. Nine May 2013 #15

You got everything correct, yet you still keep posting anti-dog shit like this. baldguy May 2013 #30

It's easy to condemn a whole breed newfie11 May 2013 #58

But, I am talking statistics, not anecdotes joeglow3 May 2013 #67

It's easy to lie with statistics. Especially if you ignore the actual facts & fiddle w/ the numbers. baldguy May 2013 #69

I am not talking about just deaths joeglow3 May 2013 #71

If you're bitten by a dog & don't want it to happen again, baldguy May 2013 #75

Yep. We are all stupid and lazy. joeglow3 May 2013 #76

Only dog haters who blame every dog bite that happens on Pit Bulls. baldguy May 2013 #77

I am not questioning the propensity to bite joeglow3 May 2013 #79

Huh? newfie11 May 2013 #74

I think many dogs ARE misidentified as pits. Most people don't know what a pit looks like. Honeycombe8 May 2013 #40

Very very true nt newfie11 May 2013 #73

That site's own statistics dont support its conclusion LostOne4Ever May 2013 #56

Cool! Great! Now be so kind as to have those dogs neutered so their progeny don't kill anyone. randome May 2013 #17

Are you saying that dogs act on instinct and not free will? Nine May 2013 #34
