[quote=Anonymous]OP, when we were stationed at Camp Lejeune a few years ago, there were a series of incidents in family housing with pit bulls mauling children, including two deaths.  Pit bulls were banned from base, period.  I would assume the ban is a complete ban.

Personal story:  we dog-sat for a relative's "sweet, gentle, pleading-eyed" pit.  We had a puppy, a large breed who was already as big as the full-grown pit at 6 months.  In front of my own eyes, I watched the pit go completely insane one night.  Our puppy was sleeping in front of the fireplace, and the pit suddenly growled the most awful growl and jumped on him and latched onto his snout.  I will never forget those sounds as long as I live.  I closed the doors to the room so my children would not get involved and tried to separate them.  That pit was SO STRONG.  When I finally got her to let go of his snout, she got his leg and crushed it.  It was unreal.  I don't know how long it took to get her off, but I finally managed, and got my puppy to the vet.  The vet confirmed that pits are sweet, but also unpredictable and crazy strong.

When we told the owner she had to come get her dog, she refused to believe what happened.  Her sweet baby could never have done such a thing!  She never paid the vet bill, and to this day refuses to accept what happened.

I love animals, but I fear pit bulls.  What if my children had been the first responders?  Shudder.[/quote]
