68. an even better example - Aidan Garcia, 9, recovering after East Chicago pit bull attack

"He said he was walking along the sidewalk when he saw two pit bulls coming after him. He started to run away when one of them latched onto his leg," said Detective Terence Fife, East Chicago Police Department.

Police say it happened on the 3500 block of Pennsylvania. The boy's mother says they live on the block and Garcia was walking to the basketball courts when he was attacked.

"He laid there and played dead, the dog continued to mangle on his legs," said Josleyn.

***********************************************
The really disturbing part, (aside from the fact that the dog owner had 5 children)


Last year, the dog's owner was cited for a code violation after the same pit bull was involved in another attack. But city officials said that at that point, the owner complied with all codes and regulations, and at that point the dog was returned to her.

No charges have been filed in the attack.
