Indiana Man Mauled to Death by Pet Dog on Christmas

[Democrat 4 Ever]

54. That is NOT always true. I had a neighbor who rescued dogs for many years.

I knew her as a kind and loving person who never raised her voice or her hand to anyone or any animal. She had two pit bulls she had raised from pups, they were the family pets and were treated as such. Her three-year old grandson had been raised around the dogs and they knew him very well. He was never allowed at anytime to mistreat them. He walked out of her home with his mother on the way to the car to leave and the dogs attacked the child just outside the front door. The dogs ran from across the yard to attack the child, he was not threatening them in anyway. The grandmother ran out to save the child and the dogs turned on her and killed her. They. Killed. Her. Of course, no one knows why the dogs decided to attack someone that had shown them nothing but love and care but they did. No warning, no hint of a problem, no history of aggression, they went for their owner. That little boy has suffered extreme injuries, pain and nightmares ever since and it has now been 10 years. Those dogs were put down immediately. No second chance. Nature or nurture? I'm going with nature. Those dogs are killers and I don't care how many lovey, dovey stories you hear about how kind and gentle pit bulls are it just isn't true. Up until about 10 seconds before they attacked their owner she would be telling you the same nonsense. Anyone who has a pit bull around their family is playing with fire.
