looks like it wasn’t a pit bull since they usually state if it’s a pit bull. The type of dog wasn’t mentioned. The anti pit bullers on here will be disappointed.

That story is big news in LA on KFI. It was a shepherd mix. He reportedly took the dog behind a building so he couldn’t be seen doing the act - so it wasn’t a spontaneous reaction. The guy is so lucky I am in a different county and thus can’t be on his jury pool.
