The article does say the dogs were previously abused - that could have played some part in why they snapped.
She was very lucky someone was there. The one dog was over 120 pounds, and I wonder if it was mixed with something else because that is much larger than standard. However, there are people breeding XXL Pitbulls now. You can see a lot of videos on YouTube.
I’ll reiterate what I said on another thread that only .01% of pit bulls attack like this, and the majority are great dogs. My interactions have been positive. However, I still think spay/neuter laws would be very helpful.
I wish this lady well.
.01 percent is one in ten thousand. I don’t think it’s one in ten thousand, neither does the guy in our neighborhood that lost a finger last year at the dog park (!) trying to rescue his dog from one of the vicious beasts.
Only a fool would trust one.
