A dog attacked a 2-year-old girl Sunday in Helvetia, lifting her up by her head, severing the top on her ear and leaving deep cuts on her neck and face.
The girl was at a gathering with 30 family members and friends just before 5:30 p.m. on an acreage at 15500 N.W. Logie Trail Road when a black Labrador retiever named Bear suddenly grabbed the girl by her head, according to Washington County sheriff's officials

A Lab???
Oh my god... what is the point of this breed? It should be exterminated... it was bred for Canadians... and they are all witches and warlocks....
A Lab. But per population, how many Lab attacks are there vs. pit bull/pit mix, or rottweiler attacks?
"The dog's owner, John Kelly, 29, of Beaverton, told authorities Bear bit and injured another child last week. Kelly said that child received at least four stitches from the incident."
Impound the owner instead. It's not the dog's fault he was raised into an aggressive killer.
“A Lab. But per population, how many Lab attacks are there vs. pit bull/pit mix, or rottweiler attacks?”<<<<<<<<<
According to city public health records, labs normally rank number one for attacks in many cities. Other breeds may rank higher in some areas, and these numbers directly relate to the popularity of the breed, not to its propensity to bite- pit bulls are estimated to be around 10 million strong right now in this country, so in larger cities, they tend to tie with or beat out labs, cockers, etc. Most dog attacks do not cause monstrous injuries, including most pit bull and rottweiler bites, but many that DO are not considered newsworthy unless they come from marketable dog breeds.
There is a huge discrepancy between what public health records show and what the media reports. We only hear about a couple of dog attacks a day, mostly from pit bulls or other “mean” breeds, yet the records indicate that over two thousand people end up in the hospital every day in this country from dog attacks.
Wow, this is surprising. Black labs are typically very gentle.
