I love dogs and I love that my kids are growing up with pets — a lab/hound mix (actual, not a pit mix that is called something else) and a cat. But there is no potential benefit from owning a pet that would ever make me take the risk (even if small from no that particular dog) of having a pit, rottie, or any other dog that could do serious damage to my kids. This is just heartbreaking. What were these parents thinking?

I guarantee there was literally nothing left of that baby. Nothing.

One of the officers is reported to have vomited at the scene.

Career-ending trauma.

Also read that these 2 dogs were euthanized.

Have you ever been attacked by a dog? You don't really have time to think, you just react. She tried to cover the two year old with her body to protect her. It also sounds like both dogs were attacking? I'm also not sure if the dogs even had collars on that she could have grabbed them by.

My dog was attacked by an 80 pound Labrador and it took all my strength to tear the dog away from my dog. It didn't have a collar on so all I could grab was the scruff of his neck. I also had a neighbor come out immediately and grabbed the dog so I could get away. I don't know what I would have done with out help. My dog had severe bruising and needed multiple staples.

I am sorry about your dog. Now cue all the people saying we must ban labradors....

A friends elderly golden was attacked (unprovoked) by a pit that jumped over the front fence. It honestly took 5 large adults to try to stop the attack. The only thing that worked was when one of the adults grabbed an axe and started swinging it at the pit. Impossible to ever get these images out of my head. It was hard to describe the grip the pit had and then the quickness where it would let go to lunge at the adults and then regrip the golden. Impossible to describe. The golden barely lived and had to have extensive surgery and then never fully recovered bc of trachea damage. What a horrible last few months for a sweet dog. The pit had been on a leash but of course the owner couldn’t control it once it decided to attack. You pit bull excusers make me sick bc what you allow in your house is up to you but things like this show your poor decisions impact others.

The parents are victims of misinformation. The pit bull PR campaign is mind-bogglingly effective. I have no idea why, but it is.

It really is. It supports the gruesome sport of dog fighting also because these are the “extras”.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Pit bull supporters are not pro dog fighting. Now you are making things up

My friend and I were chased by two pit bulls 25 years ago. The dogs tore down the fence between her yard and there’s. We made it to her kitchen door, but her older dog didn’t make it. We watched with my friends mom while these two dogs mauled their dog to death. All we could do was call 911. It was unprovoked, savage, and haunts me to this day. If those dogs had caught me or my friend, we would be dead. Anyone who defends and excuses this breed is inhuman.

If you were attacked by a white woman would you say all white women should be banned?

Your story is horrific but defenders of pit bulls are human and pit bulls are dogs.

Seriously? Do not compare people to animals. It’s really weird.

Yeah that's one of the more bizarre ones. Dogs are selectively bred. My grandma's golden liked to swim. My cairn terrier hated swimming but liked to dig and catch rodents. My MIL'S border collie herds.

And pits have been bred to fight and kill.

My niece just got bit on the face by their pit mix yesterday. He just missed her eye. Of course no prior aggression reported to them when they adopted him, and they were told the dog was good with kids (nieces are teens, too, not little kids). They’d only had the dog about a month. Dog was put down immediately.

This is why I won’t adopt a pit mix. Laugh at people all you want for buying “designer mutts” and expensive purebreds, but this is one of the reasons people do that. There’s a reason so many shelters are full of pit mixes.

it is one step from keeping an alligator in your home or walking it around on a leash - I cross the street when someone with a pit or pit looking dog is walking towards my dogs, one of whom is reactive on the leash. I don't want him to growl and trigger the other dog to attack him or me and wind up getting mauled and the people always look annoyed like I am prejudging their dog

the statistics are overwhelming and go way past correlation

A ban is literally never going to happen. I don’t know what the answer is.

my lab/retriever mix almost drowned the first time he went swimming. Had to go to swim lessons. Now he will barely take his feet off the bottom but can swim if he needs to. They do not act the same way just because they’re the same breed.
