Pit bull destroyed after attack in Bridgewater
The Patriot Ledger ^ | 12-3-11 | Patriot Ledger

BRIDGEWATER — During 40 years as a veterinarian, Dr. Neal Andelman has removed toys and other items from dogs’ stomachs. But until Thursday, he had never retrieved human body parts, as best the doctor could recall, said Lou Berman, a hospital administrator for the New England Animal Medical Center in West Bridgewater. Thursday afternoon, Andelman operated post mortem on a pit bull that had bitten a Bridgewater woman and swallowed parts of her face. The male pit bull was euthanized and operated upon following a request from the Boston hospital treating the 71-year-old woman, whose face was mauled by the 50-pound dog in the kitchen of her home.

That’s what German Shepherds are for: all the intelligent guard dog, without the neighbor/owner mauling.

He must have been bitten by one when he was a child since his agenda was clearly to drive the breed off the face of the earth.

That would probably make a lot of people happy...

Did the owner try to give herself the lame excuse that the dog “never did that before” and had always been a “very good dog”?

At least the only person the dog attacked was the owner. Glad she didn’t wind up dead.

What is a 71 year old woman doing with a 50 pound pit bull? As a man, if I was 71 years old, I would not have a pit bull. If I needed to have a dog around it’d be a lot more stable breed. Black lab, yellow lab.

well since we’ve made it impossible to wipe out irresponsible owners and gangbangers, I would say I could live with this breed line (their apparent weapons of choice) being ended.

I’ll be very disappointed if my German Shepherd ever eats my face.

Face is considered a delicacy to pit bulls. German Shepherds prefer elbows.

It didn’t belong to the 71-year-old. She moved in with her daughter, and the dog didn’t take kindly to it:
