FRANKFORD - May 24, 2009 (WPVI) -- A woman was mauled by a pit bull inside her home this morning.

Police were called to the 4700 block of Worth Street in Philadelphia's Frankford section just before 4:00.

The 43-year-old homeowner said she had been attacked by her daughter's pit bull and the dog was blocking their escape from the upstairs of the home.

. . .

The victim told police the mauling happened when she tried to break up a fight between the pit bull and another dog. She also said the pit bull was under her care because it had bitten one of her daughter's neighbors.

She says her daughter was trying to find the dog a new home.

I'm sure people will be lining up to take it now.

“The victim told police the mauling happened when she tried to break up a fight between the pit bull and another dog. She also said the pit bull was under her care because it had bitten one of her daughter’s neighbors. “

People need to know the proper use for a bullet when needed.

That doesn’t even look like a pit bull, it looks like an American bull dog.

I agree. Unfortunately, they are all thrown into the same category, especially if they are involved in anything negative.

The dog bit her on the arm while she was breaking up a dogfight, and that equals a mauling?

I'm no fan of Pit Bulls but this is a very misleading head line

"You never get tired of this do you?"

That Chet99 guy's fixation on dog bites is very strange.

He devotes great effort to posting every single pit bull attack story he can find.

Think of the hours he invests in this fetish!

I'll bet this maniac washes his hands 100 times a day.

I agree. That definitely looks like an American Bulldog. It does not look like a pit bull. I guess because it is a “bully” breed they lump them all together.

Uh, no. This lady seems obsessed with pit bulls and we have to suffer. It has nothing to do with conservatism, and it seems to be a way to get attention. Another newbie clogging the wheels and taking advantage of a free website. I bet she does not donate either.

Reminds me of an ol' FReeper ["IVAN"?] that used to post every plant closing story, every day, on-and-on...

After a while, the rant gets old.

Yeah, I’ve seen it. I suspect a lot of people with mixes of sorts also think they own a pit (or think they DON’T!)

I just reported him as a spammer. I am tired of this newbie polluting our site with his hobby.

That is definitely an American Bulldog. I've seen quite a few of AmBull Dogs that have that particular coloration. You are right, it seems that all "bully" breeds are being lumped into the Pit Bull category. Ignorance abounds.

I disagree profoundly with "Chet99" on almost everything. I thought, however that a comment gleaned from your posting history might be appropriate.

To wit:
