A 5-year-old boy was mauled by a pitbull Thursday after climbing into a dog pen with the pitbull and its puppies. The boy had six cuts to his cheek and nose. The pitbull also ripped out two of his teeth and chipped a third tooth. The dog’s owner was ticketed for having a vicious animal, police Cpl. Eric Dearcorn said.
You are right. A mama dog will always protect her puppies. Where was this child’s parents? They should have stopped him.
the kid should not be climbing into a dog’s pen.
Hello... mom? dad?
It does seem ridiculous to fine a dog owner when someone {even an UNSUPERVISED 5 year old} breaks into the dog's pen and there are pups involved.
If there is any fining to be done look at the parents of the kid, not the owner of the dogs.
