A four-year-old Chihuahua came to the rescue of an eight-year-old Chilliwack girl after a neighbour's pit bull attacked her and began biting her face.
Jenna Desrochers was outside in a backyard last Tuesday at around 5 p.m. PT when the neighbour's pit bull broke free from its enclosure and went after her.
Soon after, her grandmother's Chihuahua came to the rescue.
Anne Marie Desrochers, Jenna's grandmother, says the pit bull knocked Jenna down and began biting her face. Honey, a four-year-old Chihuahua, then came to the rescue by drawing the attacking dog away.
"The pit bull took Jenna down at the knees, that's what the owner had told me, and basically went for her face."
"Then, the Chihuahua was around...The pit bull ran for the Chihuaua. She was distracted enough," Desrochers said.

Because one child was left to the dogs by her parents, you blame the dogs and want to wipe out the breed? No.
You are not making sense. You say that only biting pits should be put down, but then you say you want to exterminate the breed, whether the dogs are deadly or not.
Confused much?
Your broad brush leftist tactic will be your undoing here. You just went from a pretty okay guy to an idiot for sucking down that leftist Kool-aid, IMO.
The behavior of dogs is determined by their upbringing and handling. The owners of vicious dogs are the ones whom we should stop from breeding. </sarc>
It is not the dogs' fault. You have this one very wrong.
Really nice looking dog. There’s no mistaking the pit in him. Yours got bit by a skunk, huh? One of mine was bit by a rattlesnake last year.
It is liberals like you that are "slippery slope" proponents. If you were successful in banning pit bulls you would go after the rotties then dobies next. If your type had your way the only acceptable dog would be a muzzled poodle.
You are no different than the New Yorkers who were cheerleaders for Bloomberg's anti-smoking campaign but are squealing like stuck pigs because you can no longer buy a Big Gulp soda.
You want to control what others do but want nobody to control you.
In these parts fellers like you are considered hypocrites and are anything but conservative.
Here is wee Salamander with her puppy. You would be on the band wagon to ban this breed too.
To paraphrase OISA, "Oh I don't mind people having guns, but lets make sure no more are ever manufactured, okay?"
They still are. I have seen this same organized bullcrap against German Shepherds, Dobermans, and Rotweillers prior to Pit Bulls.
Thanks for the photo of Petey and Spanky! My Buster did not have the eye circle.....
Sadly, these days with all the scum inbreeding Pits, there are quite a few that are now dangerous.
Bad as dog fighting was back in the day, before scum and holder’s people gangers started collecting and breeding them, those that fought them at least had to good sense to put down Pits that “put a tooth” on a human and did a pretty good job of filtering out that bad trait.
When I was 10 years old, my uncle started molesting me.
My parents knew and did *nothing*.
No one would protect me from him so he continued molesting me with a will.
When I was 14, God -literally- answered my prayers and an old stray Dobermann showed up in my yard and made it abundantly clear that he was my dog, despite my dad’s protests about him being an untrustworthy ‘killer Doverman”. [sic]
That mushy, loved-everybody, old beat up but “scary” dog shadowed me everywhere I went and “suddenly”, the uncle lost interest.
If every kid had a Dobe or a Pit [or whatever breeds sounds “fashionably scary this year”] I wonder how much pedophilia there’d be left in the world?
*Much* less, I’d bet.
No perv wants his junk bit off.
FWIW, during the short span of time that I did not have any Dobes in the house, my ex beat me brutally and regularly, knowing there was no one to whom I could turn since my folks would have done nothing about that, either.
See if I spend 5 minutes without a hairy guardian angel ever again.
Whoever said diamonds are a girl’s best friend never owned a dog.
I don’t have a lot of human friends.
The ones I do have possess the qualities of dogs; devotion, loyalty and the willingness to defend me no matter what.
Some of them are here on this thread...and they know they have my unswerving loyalty and devotion until the day I die.
That’s what “scary dogs” taught me.
~This~ must be screamed repeatedly from the rooftops, ad infinitum.
Actually, if you knew anything about dogs, mixed breed “Pits” are less “predictable” than full blood “Pits”.
Every full blood dog breed is quite predictable in its temperament.
That’s why breeders spend decades/centuries/millennia ‘setting type’.
When you start ‘mixing up’ different breed temperaments you lose quite a bit of the ability to predict an established/typical reaction in a dog.
Personally, I’d be much more concerned about a Border Collie/Cocker mix near my kid’s face than a Pit mix.
So, to use the term “real Pit” is counter productive.
A “real Pit” would be even more ‘predictable’.
They’re just *very* patiently lulling you into a false sense of security.
Any minute now, they’re going to kill you in your sleep.

Did you die?

“Because one child was left to the dogs by her parents”
Frankly, I think I turned out better for having been ‘raised by wolves’.
:)
He’s grown since then.
LOL
Clearly.
LOL
Dogzilla!
Over the years I've posted my beloved Red Nosed Brindle American Staffordshire Terrier (may he RIP) and most here have seen him, but I haven't caught you around and fear you haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mojo. So indulge me... his sire was a champion show dog
I hope you have a name tag like this one in case you ever get lost...
