Two problems solved.
Looks like I have to come back with a 3rd hero pitbull story.... thanks for your inspiration to counter the whole mentality of,”if it bleeds it reads!!”
Such garbage.
Another tragedy because of an untrained and unrestrained DOG. You’d think people would learn.
The owner of the dog should be held responsible for this.
Dreadful. RIP.
If something like this happened to one of my children, that dog would have some dead owners. After finishing up with the owners, I’d find some ‘creative’ way of disposing of the animal.
Kill the dog. Imprison the owner.
God rest that little girl’s soul.

Amazing how little empathy pit bull owners have for children who are mutilated by their “pets”.
I’ve seen more people attacked by the Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd breed than pitbulls, but pitbulls are BAAAAD.
less then a week ago a pit bull puppy chewed a baby’s toes off. Such a caring, gentle, heroic breed. No different than any other dog really. I’m sure this girl was teasing it or else the owners were just really bad.
Any dog running loose out of its yard should be shot.
Chet, please don’t give up.
Hell of a way to die,,,
~~~
I guess one is runnin’ loose around here,,,
Saw a sign on the way “Lost Pit-Bull,,,Friendly”,,,
Target...
Very sad. Prayers for the little girl and her grandmother.
I’m still waiting to hear of some one killed by a herd of rabid chihuahuas or even some wiener dogs.
Pit bulls don’t get trained for work as security/working dogs. They’re not trainable or trustworthy; too much bad craziness in them.
Two problems solved.
There are indications the pit bull may have been used for dogfighting. The dog apparently escaped from a pen on the property at the site of the attack. Other dogs later were removed from the property, where empty cages and a dog house now sit.

The dog owner could face a depraved-heart murder charge or culpable negligence, Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith has said. Depraved-heart murder is defined as causing death by an act so reckless that it shows lack of regard for human life.

Walter Ray Summers, a neighbor of the Binghams, said he has complained to local law enforcement several times about "fighting" dogs in the area, "but they seem to turn their heads. "They seemed concerned now, though," he said.
[Sheriff] McMillin said that, so far, his department has found only one documented call in the past year regarding pit bulls in the neighborhood.
-----
For his part, McMillin said he went before the Hinds County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday to ask that county animal-control ordinances be strengthened.
"I want them to look at jurisdictions in other areas and come up with an ordinance they can work with.
"Everybody needs to be responsible for their animals," McMillin said.
What the law says:Hinds County has a "vicious dog" ordinance that is not breed specific. It requires the owner to securely confine dangerous dogs.
Animal control determines what constitutes a vicious dog, generally when the dog poses a threat to public safety and-or has injured a human.
If the dog is considered dangerous, then the owner must register the dog.
Violations are misdemeanors and can result in up to 90 days in jail and $3,000 in fines.
