Another pit bull attack, different from the mom who
Lost her arms and subsequently died saving her son from being attacked by the family dog. This sad case involved a boy attacked by his grandparents’ dog. For everyone who says things like, “Cocker spaniels bite more,” cocker spaniels don’t rip your arms off. https://people.com/human-interest/4-year-old-boys-arm-ripped-off-after-trying-to-pet-pit-bull-at-grandparents-oklahoma-home/ |

Agree. One of my friends/neighbors adopted 2 in the last year and I no longer let me kids to go their house to play. And I’m a huge animal lover. Even pits! But not around children. |

they had puppies in a fenced in area. The dogs were probably just used for breeding and not socialized. A kid they don’t know sticks his hand in their area. It’s not the dogs fault. I totally blame the Grandparents. |

And that's another reason why backyard breeding should be outlawed. Sick that people do that to animals. |

Great, thanks for sharing. Hope you love being responsible if you own one. Would hate to read about you or someone you loved being attacked, killed, or sued. |

Lots of women love and marry serial killers too. Don't mean you're all there mentally though. |

Pitbulls do a tremendous amount of damage when they attack, but I think it's a mistake to specifically identify them as a problem. Not because they aren't capable of vicious attack - they are - but because even the sweetest lump of a fat, old therapy dog who has never had an aggressive moment in their lives will attack under the right conditions.
We were at a playground yesterday and some idiot parents had their golden doodle in the playground off leash. It went after a baby. It was growling, barking, and charging a 1 yo who was just quietly sitting in the sand. Thankfully, it responded to the owner's voice command before it actually got to the baby, but the moron of a dog owner didn't think to put it back on leash until I snapped at them. Those owners clearly had no idea that their dog was capable of harming a child. I hope to God they don't learn the hard way with their own child at home. Our former dog - a golden - was a total sweetheart 99% of the time. But, our toddler once approached her at the wrong moment (she was drugged and recovering from major surgery) and she snapped at him. We went through extensive training with highly qualified dog trainers and learned so much about them. And any trainer worth their salt will tell you all dogs bite. All dogs attack. It just depends on the circumstances. You never, ever leave kids alone with a dog. Not for a second. We adjusted our life so our dog was gated until the kids were old enough to know how to interact with her. After that, she was still gated a lot and only allowed contact that was strictly supervised. Never had another attack and we lived peacefully together until she died of natural causes. Anyone who thinks their dog "would never hurt anyone" knows literally nothing about dogs. |

| Any dog can harm a child even unintentionally when playing. Puppy nails can make me cry if not trimmed. Never leave small kids alone with a dog and never let kids run up to a dog putting their face right next to the dog's face even if the dog is friendly. Any dog who has teeth can bite. We have the sweetest, friendliest dog, who loves all people, and I have seen him snap at the vet. |

These posts always go the same direction with the people popping up going on about all dogs blah blah blah, my pit is the sweetest baby blah blah blah.
Then there are the sane posters who point out the number of times the sweet harmless pitt turned on their owner or owners child and that this dog can kill an adult and is more deadly than other dogs. The pitt owners never listen and are not logical. |
