DNA Taken From Pitbull That Raped 2-Year-Old

Police say DNA has been taken from the pitbull that attacked a toddler by allegedly sodomizing it last weekend. It was a disturbing and violent attack. The two year old child is in Women and Children's Hospital. Neighbors heard a mother screaming that her child was being raped. Now people are calling to adopt the pitbull.

Lockport, NY -- Police say DNA has been taken from the pitbull that attacked a toddler by allegedly sodomizing it last weekend. It was a disturbing and violent attack. The two year old child is in Women and Children's Hospital. Neighbors heard a mother screaming that her child was being raped.

Lockport police say taking DNA from the dog is part of the investigation.

Lockport Police received a 911 call from a frantic City of Lockport mother last Sunday afternoon.

The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two year old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.

When she got in the room, she told Lockport Police the dog, named "Bear" had sodomized the toddler. The mother screamed, scaring the dog out of the house, but the dog was still attached to the baby.

One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "the dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.

Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick. Castillo says the boy was vomiting and bleeding.

The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery.

The dog is being held at the Niagara County SPCA for evalution. An animal behavior specialist is scheduled to evaluate the pitbull on Friday.

Since the attack, over 20 people have called the SPCA asking to adopt the pitbull. Hear those calls by clicking Video.

The Niagara County District Attorney's office is assisting Lockport Police with the investigation.

Miranda Workman, behavior specialist at Purrfect Paws in Amherst says, "Most likely this is not a learned behavior. Dogs in tact, not spayed or neutered have a higher hormonal drive."

She urges parents to never, ever leave their children alone with a dog.

They should set up a sting and carefully investigate ANYONE who would want to adopt this animal.

I agree.

I’m beginning to wonder, myself, if the dog had not been trained to do this and it was supposed to be used for porn purposes.

I just can’t see this happening unless “someone” (the mother who disappeared ???) held the child down.

Maybe the dog escaped and the mother lied to the neighbor to protect herself.

People have done worse to kids.

They are not AKC. They are a rare breed.

Also, they were bred to be like the old GSD we used to know and so far that is true. They are large with straight backs(not sloped)well set ears on broad noble heads. My silver is a very rare color. There very few of the true silver sables. His color is what you used to see in the old GSD. I understand what you are saying and I am not running the GSD down as I have seen some very beautiful ones.

“It is just beyond my comprehension that people would want to adopt this dog. The only conceivable reason I could see would be for porn purposes. They should set up a sting and carefully investigate ANYONE who would want to adopt this animal.”

I’ll bet there’s dreadlocked, hemp-bracelet-wearing animal lovers out there who think the kid asked for it.

Because the thought of this article disgusted me so, I couldn’t help but think about it. Especially since my two year old has been known to take off a dirty diaper and go into the living room to get another one so I can clean him up. But, one thing I thought of. If a dog was jumping on him from behind he was be screaming bloody murder just because of the paws on his back before anything else could happen.

The whole thing sounds strange. Cocker Spaniel? Nope. Poodle? Not a chance. German Shepard? Not likely.

This one dog may have done this. It being a pit bull may just add to the lawsuit...

A dog that size knocking down a toddler would knock him down flat, not likely into a position that would allow penetration. For that, the child would have to be in the right position and hold still long enough for the dog to do it.

If the dog knocked the kid down, I’d expect there would be other injuries like a bumped head, split lip, bruises on the knees, scrapes and scratches, that kind of thing.

I’m really beginning to suspect the adult(s) in this whole scenario. I’m not so much questioning that it happened as much as HOW it happened.

That’s pretty much what I was saying. It does sound suspicious.

Yes, I’m a little familiar with them. They look more like the old style of working shepherd, unlike the sad looking ones shown in AKC shows. I generally am not an AKC basher, but the GSD has really not been done a favor by the show community. Not sure where to place the fault, altho there is probably plenty to go around.

There probably are those kind of people, and then there may well be a few well intentioned folk who don’t believe the story and don’t want the dog put down since they don’t believe he did anything.

I agree with you completely. Some of the dogs bred now are not the same dogs of yesteryear. Listen, some breeders need to be bashed, if it’s just to bring them back into realty that responsibility in dog breeding is their’s if they are going to breed. It can be time consuming and expensive; and if one is in it just for the money; forget it. You will not be making a fortune. It should be for the love of the dog and the breed; not just for money; the thrill of showing or one’s ego.

hello I have a question first of all was the baby naked and if he was why the hell was he naked? Also they should investigate the owner of the dog to make sure they did not molest the dog to teach him to do those types of acts. I do beleave the dog should be put down.

some ahole freeper sent me this:
...............................

“Dog thingys have barbs that prevent uncoupling - easy to see how lots of damage was done.”

You said this on the comments page after this extremely compelling story and I just wanted to say you are full of it and that you have no idea of what you are talking about. Dogs have knots some the size of a baseball which obviously can not fit in to a 2 year olds a$$, so if this did really happen, which I sincerly doubt. The knot that keeps the dogs together would not in a million years be able to fit in a 2 year olds a$$, not even if you tried pushing it in with all your might you would probably break the dick of that dog. And if you are wondering how I would know all of this about a dogs penis it is because I like them more than humans and they feel great inside my (ommitted). HaHa just kiddin’/ or am I? You decide.
...............

Dear Demented Kidding (or not) One.

The thingy does not swell until after insertion - or do you know that?

And I hope the swelling in your head subsides, too.

That is what I am pondering....
1) Why was the baby naked?
2) It takes time for a dog to mount and penetrate. Was the baby not struggling before it happened?
3) What brought an indoor dog into such a state?
4) In the amount of time it took for the dog to do what it did, I find it hard to believe the mother was out of the room for just a “few” minutes.

There should be a thorough investigation on just exactly what type of people his parents are. The whole thing just doesn’t jive with me.

I live in Western New York, although, not in Lockport where this took place. They aired the story on the news. I don’t think they would do that if it were not true.
