With all due respect, I have some doubts about this one. Pit bulls are tenacious (they’re terriers), and generally require the use of a breaking stick when they attack. Consequently, pit bull attacks, though nowhere near as frequent as other types of dog bites, are generally far more serious in nature. A parent “scaring off” a pit bull is highly unlikely, IMO, so I think it was more likely a cranky labrador or some other type of dog - as yourself, is a labrador attack news? I know a little about pitties, as I have had two of them for more than 15 years now, and have one sleeping with my kids in the next room.

WHen I used to live in cities we would take walks regularly, and had to carry sticks and pockets of rocks because there were so many vicious dogs. Didn’t have concealed carry permits then. Now we do. Any problems will be solved quickly.

After the story aired on KHQ Local News at 6 the pit bull's owners, Bill and Sharon Grove, contacted KHQ and said they are regretfully and deeply sorry this happened, and that the dogs will be put down

Good owner.

I like pits and many of them are excellent dogs. However, there are many strains bred for fighting by creepy gangsta types, and they select out for vicious dogs.

I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.
