KOKOMO, Ind. -- A 9-year-old Howard County girl critically injured by a pit bull over the weekend died at an Indianapolis hospital on Thursday, police said.
The attack happened in the 4600 block of East County Road 200 South on Saturday, said Howard County Sheriff Marty Talbert.
The girl, Savannah Gragg, underwent surgery at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, but died Thursday afternoon.
Police said that Savannah was opening a door at the home to let the dog outside when it jumped on her and knocked her to the floor, biting her on the neck and shaking her violently.
"The child suffered a lacerated trachea, which resulted in a lack of oxygen to the brain," Talbert said in a news release Thursday evening. "Doctors determined the child was brain dead shortly after 3:30 p.m. Thursday."
Family members told police that the dog had never shown aggression before.

Poor dear’s developed a crush, methinks.
Just can’t tear itself away.

Maybe some folks want the “safety” of a nanny state.
I’d rather take my chances in a free country.
[or what *used* to pass for a free country, anyway]

Since I’m working on a website, posting here, being used as a bracing post for a dog gnawing a cow hoof *and* listening to a TV show all at the same time, it’s a bit tough to remember 200+ posts, verbatim.
I did, however, give a very accurate recounting of the original “spirit” of the assertion.
To whit, it is acceptable to poison a dog as long as it’s a pit bull.

Yup.
Being free means that your neighbor gets to be free too, which is just damned inconvenient for some people.

I want my neighbors to be free.
[even the one who’s a total scum bucket]
Just like free speech, either you fight for the stuff you hate to hear, too, or you shouldn’t bother fighting for it at all because you really just don’t “get it”, anyway.
