A Gainesville man awoke to the sounds of a dog fight early Monday. When he walked outside, he found his dog locked in the jaws of a large pit bull.

"I'm sound asleep and my wife says there's a dog fight in the yard," said Fletcher Sutton, 58. "And within 90 seconds I find myself standing in the yard in my bathrobe with a knife in one hand, a gun in the other and a dog dead between my legs."

I'll post my standard comment. The only two legitimate reasons for owning a pit bull are 1)to protect your meth lab or 2)if you are in the dog fighting industry.

Amen. I'll add my standard comment, if I might, directed at those who utter the dangerous false platitude:

It's the owner, not the breed.

Aimless, immature young man with a bad work ethic and a basset hound: No problem.
