DNA Taken From Pitbull That Raped 2-Year-Old
Police say DNA has been taken from the pitbull that attacked a toddler by allegedly sodomizing it last weekend. It was a disturbing and violent attack. The two year old child is in Women and Children's Hospital. Neighbors heard a mother screaming that her child was being raped. Now people are calling to adopt the pitbull.
Lockport, NY -- Police say DNA has been taken from the pitbull that attacked a toddler by allegedly sodomizing it last weekend. It was a disturbing and violent attack. The two year old child is in Women and Children's Hospital. Neighbors heard a mother screaming that her child was being raped.
Lockport police say taking DNA from the dog is part of the investigation.
Lockport Police received a 911 call from a frantic City of Lockport mother last Sunday afternoon.
The mother told Lockport Police that she left her two year old unattended for a short time and after hearing the baby scream, she ran to see what was wrong.
When she got in the room, she told Lockport Police the dog, named "Bear" had sodomized the toddler. The mother screamed, scaring the dog out of the house, but the dog was still attached to the baby.
One neighbor told 2 On Your Side, she heard the mother screaming "the dog is raping my baby." Neighbors ran to help, but only one man was able to get the dog and child apart.
Anastacio Castillo says "I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick. Castillo says the boy was vomiting and bleeding.
The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery.
The dog is being held at the Niagara County SPCA for evalution. An animal behavior specialist is scheduled to evaluate the pitbull on Friday.
Since the attack, over 20 people have called the SPCA asking to adopt the pitbull. Hear those calls by clicking Video.
The Niagara County District Attorney's office is assisting Lockport Police with the investigation.
Miranda Workman, behavior specialist at Purrfect Paws in Amherst says, "Most likely this is not a learned behavior. Dogs in tact, not spayed or neutered have a higher hormonal drive."
She urges parents to never, ever leave their children alone with a dog.
i strongly believe that dog was trained to behave that way. the police should do a thorough search of the house, including the computer hard drive and i’ll bet they will find lots of pictures and video of that dog and various people in compromising positions.
Michael vick.
I know. And anybody who has ever been around dogs should know. This whole thread is such a colossal display of ignorance I can’t tear myself away.
Thank you, you are now clearly leading in the stupid post of the decade award.
Before I blast you, may I politely ask that you read the article?
Pay particular attention to the following phrases:
"The mother screamed, scaring the dog out of the house, but the dog was still attached to the baby."
""I tried to get the dog away from the baby, the dog was already inside the baby." When the baby was finally free, he was visibly sick. Castillo says the boy was vomiting and bleeding."
"The baby was rushed to Women and Children's Hospital where the toddler underwent reconstructive surgery."
Jeeze, get a grip, people.
Jeeze, get a clue.
I think you are mistaken. Cats have barbs. Dogs have the end swell up like a ball and gets stuck that way. The female dog also has swelling areas that cause a stuck condition.
Something about this article seems a little odd to me. Not the part about a dog attempting to mate with something other than another dog. But the part about the “coupling”. The vomitting seems strange. Dogs bite when mating, so that is probably the reason for the bleeding and the required surgery. But something about the story makes me think it’s a hoax.
The DNA results are in... The suspect pit bull shares DNA with Mike Tyson.
I’m a trainer too, although not of pits. Re-read my post. Bad dog behavior is usually due to the owners neglect or manifestations of their short-d——d egos.
Also, they don’t always last that long; but it would be very dangerous for someone to try and unlock them. They would usually be bitten big time and it could be really harmful to the dogs; in this case the dog and baby physically.
That's just sooooooo wrong.
Funny, but wrong...
I feel the same way you do. If the mother is innocent, I feel horrible accusing her, but boy, this just doesn't seem very likely.
I agree.
I may just do so, or will at least ignore the rest of this thread. Thanks for not using profanity in your reply.
Thanks, but I wouldn’t want to take your trophy. You worked so hard for it.
Sounds way fake to me too.

.Then shoot it.
Agree with everything you said. However, I will wait to see if human DNA is involved before blaming the dog. Some things just don’t compute and having a dog get worked up and get thru the diaper in a matter of seconds. Does not compute.
You win. This thread has become hopelessly divided between people who get it and people who don’t, and everybody thinks they get it.
PeaceOut.
I hope those of you who are too stupid to read the article or who are defending trained perversity by attributing the case to simple “leg-humping” have neither children nor pets.
Not even a little bit funny!!!!
