My prayers go out for this little child and her family.

You should know this poor child was not killed by a boxer. The article said it was a type of mastiff which is much larger and bred as a guard dog. A boxer is half the size of an English mastiff which ranges from 176 to 286 lbs., whereas a full grown male boxer is from 65 to 80 lbs.

A Boxer is the absolute best dog breed to have around children. In the 1960's at one point my family had 22 Boxers from multiple litters on our farm. They are the most noble dog breed and are a protector of innocents. My daughter grew up with a Boxer in our home and my wife and I have a rescued Boxer that is the sweetest young man anyone could ever meet. He is sitting on his futon behind me as I type this.

Thank you it took until your post #18 before any of the lovers expressed sympathy for the child and her family...Typical for pitt threads defenders when the story is about pitts...May the family find peace and God Bless that child...Her death was a horrifying one.

According to this site, boxers are molossers, and therefore could be loosely grouped with mastiffs; the article only says mastiff-type.
