A Florida pitbull freaked out on its family, hospitalizing two of them, when they attempted to put a Christmas sweater on him.
The dog, named Scarface, attacked its owner Brenda Guerrero when she went to put the garment on him and then bit her husband, Ismael Guerrero when he struggled to wrestle the angry dog off of his wife, WFTS reported.
The Guerreros adult son Antoine Harris was next to attempt a rescue by stabbing Scarface in the head with a knife, but he too was attacked.
All three family members ran into the home and left the dog in the backyard while they called police for help.

I side with the dog on this one.
Say hello to my little teeth!
I never trust these dogs even if someone says they are the most gentle and docile animals. There is no other breed of dog I’ve known that if they don’t know you they freeze and give you that dead eye look as if to say, “make any sudden movements and you’re dead!” A friend of mine had one and once I got to know it it seemed ok, but even still that took 20 minutes before he would be ok with ME. Every time I would come over his house, it would take that 20 minutes to pass his acceptance and if I didn’t see them for a few weeks it was like I was meeting the dog for the very first time all over again. The more scared I was made the dog more likely to bite so I had to pretend to be his friend. I still am lucky to have never been mauled by that dog.
The dog may be a menace to society, but at least he has good fashion sense.
Darwin award.
Our daughter has one, a female. I was very doubtful but I think she lucked out. This dog is like a lab more than a pit bull. Her goal in life is to be a small lapdog. She’s reasonably well trained. She never met a stranger. Its her second pit bull. The previous one was the same. I think my daughter has a gift. When she was a teenager she had a horse that we got cheap because he was a biter. Our daughter worked with him (not in a conscious way but that’s just who she is) and eventually could mess with his head and mouth and any part of him in grooming and riding him. He loved her so much that I’m pretty sure he would have wanted to be a lap horse if we had let him in the house.
You shouldn’t judge all pitbulls by what some pitbulls do. Just because 10 - 25% may be a threat one day, it is wrong to “profile” these dogs and think they’re different from any other peace-loving dog. /s
My friend’s daughter had 3 of these dogs that she kept indoors. She also had a toddler. Thankfully, nothing happened, but I thought she was out of her mind.
haha, I hear that same rationale on court tv shows where the owners have had a history of dog bites from their precious pitbull only to still live in delusions that their dog loves children... yes to attack!!!
I’m glad I saw your “/s”, I was going to insert “Muslims” for “pit bulls.”
I have a bowl of smarties with 10-25% of them poisonous.
Eat one.
If Aunt Clara had been there, the dog would have mauled the entire neighborhood.
I love pitbulls. They are sweet and loving and loyal as hell, if not raised and trained by idiots who prep them for the pit.
They can be good dogs, when handled by a forceful nature. However, I think it is also possible that some have been badly bred and they have unstable personalities.
Why do you say the Guerreros are involved in dog fighting?
Nobody puts Scarface in a sweater!
