El Dorado, AR - A pit bulldog attacked a guide dog owned by a blind woman and police have arrested the pit bull's 17-year-old owner, but only after the woman worked for a month to get El Dorado authorities to take proper action.
The guide dog sustained face and neck injuries and had an infected wound. Witnesses say the boy enabled the attack and allowed it to continue.

Man these dogs are awful. If Satan could own a dog, it would be a pit bull.
Flame away.

No need to release the name, we already know he is an Obama supporter. Move along.

I think I'll just borrow that from you, if you don't mind.
It'd make a good T-shirt or Bumper Sticker.

Cheers!
...oh, and Happy Easter.

Teen arrested after pit bull attacks blind woman’s guide dog
By: Tia Lyons - El Dorado News Times
An El Dorado teen who allegedly allowed his pit bulldog to attack a guide dog for the blind was arrested this week, more than a month after the incident occurred and after the owner of the guide dog took several steps to seek recompense. Sophia Howard brought her case before the El Dorado City Council on Thursday, asking if the city could enact tougher ordinances against aggressive dogs that attack service dogs and provide victims in such cases a way to take swift action against offenders. With her trusted yellow Labrador retriever, Cody, by her side, Howard, who is almost completely blind, detailed the steps she has taken to try and get justice for the March 7 attack, including contacting police, Mayor Mike Dumas, and the 13th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Hey Chet - do you live to run “pit bull attack” on your search engine?
And BTW, since the vast majority of serial killers are white males, maybe we should ban that demographic.
Get a life dude.

geez, I read the article, thank you...my 'move along' comment was in reference to releasing the teens name. I, in NO way meant to insinuate the crime need not be punishable.
I can tell I need to pick and choose my posts more carefully.

No flaming from me. We're dog lovers with four of our own, one of which was attacked and mauled by a pitbull several years ago. Luckily he recovered.
They need to all be sterilized and allowed to become extinct. They are a dangerous breed. How many dead kids and injuries will it take to stand up to the idiot pitbull owners who keep repeating the same line, "Oh, well, he never attacked anyone before. He was always such a nice dog."
To: SouthDixie
Hi SouthDixie, I didn't intend to pick on you, I just wanted to post and your post was convenient..... that's all.
Now I think I'm the one who should be more selective about making linking posts.....

Can you say: bite the nice bull in the neck and hang on ‘til it bleeds out?

Thank you HighWheeler, this site confuses me sometimes and granted I'm relatively still a newbee.
What I understood was, this is 'free republic' yet make an off beat comment and I have some folks on me like white on rice.
I'm here to learn, is all.
Blessings.

"And BTW, since the vast majority of serial killers are white males, maybe we should ban that demographic." Beside showing no concern for the plight of a blind woman and her seeing eye dog, you seem to be mixing up the issues here and using fuzzy statistics that make no sense.
"Pets" are a choice. Guess we should let people keep fluffy lions and fuzzy bears on a chain outside of their house.

Swimming is a choice. We need to ban swimming in the ocean; all those shark attacks!
We need to the government to ban and heavily regulate everything that poses a slight risk to anyone anywhere!

He does a good job of keeping us informed of these dogs attacks. Good on you Chet. Lets hear it again from these dog owners...He never bit anyone before and was such a loving pet /S
