Police are still investigating to determine whether any charges will be filed against the owner
Did anything happen here at all?
TANKS a bunch for your threads,Chet,,,
I guess the “hippo” crowd will be here soon to make fun
of this mauling,,,
Maybe they will pay this kid’s bill to have his face put
back together...
The boy gave the pitbull some lip and the pitbull took a cheek!
A pit bull killed a newborn baby here in Central Florida today.
Heaven help anybody or anything that harms my child like that.
“the attack appeared to be unprovoked, as the boy was reaching down to pet the dog”
If this were my child, I would not have let him pet a strange dog. Just saying.
OK fair enough.
Oddly with Chet and his usual obsession with pitbulls something along these lines happened today to my younger brother’s best friend’s 3 year old
Except it was not a Pitbull...freepers lament I’m sure.
It was a Rottweiler...the dog most often associated with serious attacks (Pits are second) followed by many others.
It was the grandad’s dog. It was known to be a mean doggie.
The father was at work and the 3 year old was with grandad’s family and somehow got in contact with the dog. The child was mauled badly and life flighted to Vandy from Clarksville with many contusions and lacerations and skull fracture and torn foot and undergoing surgery late this evening.
The gradnfather immediately cut the dog’s throat with his folding Buck. He is 60 and a former US Army Gunny with many CIB tours Southeast Asia. I’m sure he feels like crap.
The baby needs some prayers.
Big guard dogs of any type are potentially dangerous around toddlers period...not just pitbulls. It is disingenuous to act like they are the only or biggest threat.
Don’t know how the toddler got around the dog. I’m 75 miles away from there but I do know the baby’s dad.
Word up to anyone with a big dog.
anyone here who knows me knows I don’t make crap up....couldn’t find anything on Google but I’m sure it’s coming....Clarksville TN dog attack ....
Never give a child (or anyone for that matter) who is unable to control a particular dog the responsibilty of controlling that dog.
My grandkids ask to walk my dog I say... ‘no, he’s too strong for you to control’.
