The most important thing in a case like this is never ever ever blame the pit bull Orrex Nov 2013 #3

She blamed the now neutered child -- "boy's movements likely made the dog feel threatened." KurtNYC Nov 2013 #7

That's not blaming the victim, because of course the real victim is the dog Orrex Nov 2013 #8

I hope the "nanny dog" will accept my apologies. KurtNYC Nov 2013 #13

The dog was just a patsy. Notice how in stories like this the dog always gets killed. JVS Nov 2013 #18

Huskys can be dangerous too. Marrah_G Nov 2013 #26

Seeing as how they're one of four dogs I've seen seriously harm someone, yes Scootaloo Nov 2013 #30

Good lord where do you live...in dog violence hell? n/t JimDandy Nov 2013 #42

Spend enough time around enough animals, and you encounter stuff like this Scootaloo Nov 2013 #46

I'm around animals 24/7 as a pro in the business and have not experienced anything like that riderinthestorm Nov 2013 #62

Knowing the animal is definitely important Scootaloo Nov 2013 #74

Agreed on virtually everything you've said riderinthestorm Nov 2013 #83

Never, ever. Scootaloo Nov 2013 #92

Seldom have I ever seen two people more vile than the owners of those dogs Orrex Nov 2013 #87

Yeah, me too. Warren DeMontague Nov 2013 #90

That dog should be killed and aunt charged Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #4

Yeah! Jail that aunt! bobclark86 Nov 2013 #11

Grandmother, not Aunt blueamy66 Nov 2013 #17

The quote: bobclark86 Nov 2013 #33

my mistake. I read it wrong and thought adult was the aunt Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #37

I think we should charge the Aunt anyway...just to be safe. BlueJazz Nov 2013 #50

misunderstanding blueamy66 Nov 2013 #51

Dog is dead, grandmother is charged KamaAina Nov 2013 #35

Its not funny Drale Nov 2013 #52

Oh for Pete's sake ... are any of those a pit bull? etherealtruth Nov 2013 #64

Because 90% of the "Pit Bulls" in stories like in the OP aren't Pit Bulls. baldguy Nov 2013 #84

Because we all know that pit bull owners adhere to the same strict guidelines. Orrex Nov 2013 #88

But remember... Pit bulls are just as gentle as every other breed... we're told over and over! scheming daemons Nov 2013 #6

Indeed. The risk is widely known and understood. Owning one is a selfish act. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #9

Oh really? Drale Nov 2013 #56

Yes, really. But the risk is not exclusive to pits. I never meant to exclude other breeds. NYC_SKP Nov 2013 #67

A Pitbull/Sheltie mix? ScreamingMeemie Nov 2013 #73

I own a Chihuahua and she is more vicious than RebelOne Nov 2013 #80

"as far as "breeds" go, you know what breed sends the most to the hospital? Chihuahuas" EX500rider Nov 2013 #23

You could stuff a rampaging chihuahua in a shoebox and seal it with a piece of scotch tape Orrex Nov 2013 #31

ROTFL! B2G Nov 2013 #44

LOL blueamy66 Nov 2013 #53

Doubtfully. I have one of those little critters. RebelOne Nov 2013 #81

Chihuahuas are little jerks XemaSab Nov 2013 #24

From reading on the breed they say they attach to one or two people Marrah_G Nov 2013 #28

finally - a horrific pit bull incident handled appropriately DrDan Nov 2013 #48

So these dogs weren't euthanized after past incidents? LordGlenconner Nov 2013 #49

and owner/guardians charged DrDan Nov 2013 #57

Two minutes and Google yielded this LordGlenconner Nov 2013 #66

good - glad to see appropriate action being taken with these negligent owners - aren't you? DrDan Nov 2013 #75
