“Rare” Pit Bull atack of the day.
Though I’m sure she provoked the poor, sweet, widdle, Pit Bull (/extreme sarcasm), I really admire the victim’s attitude. She sounds like a wonderful lady.
“She’s doing OK emotionally I guess,” she said. “She just feels grateful that the dog got her and not one of the kids. If the dog had gotten hold of a child, it could’ve been fatal.”

The dog was running loose in a strange place, being approached by someone that it didn’t know. The story says the woman tried to move the dog. It didn’t just run up to her and attack. She initiated contact with a strange dog. However, regardless of the situation, I still believe this particular dog should be euthanized, simply because it did bite her, but I don’t attribute this or any other reported bite to a breed of dog’s temperament, because even without pit bulls, there are still thousands of dog bites every day in this country, and many of those require a hospital visit. Not to mention that even the smallest dogs can and do take lives, so the argument about strength or the mythical locking jaw is moot. Until people can see that their irresponsible actions are what causes these incidents (which by the way is what the experts say unanimously), we will continue to see stories like this one. People need to start stepping up and taking responsibility for their pets, and stop blaming a dog that is no better/worse than its owner.
