ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - 29-year old DeeDee Olizia tries to relax in her hospital bed, after being attacked by two pitbulls. "I'm still in pain, but compared to yesterday I feel a little better."

Dee Dee was going for her usual morning stroll around the block on Moore Street Saturday morning, when she ran into double trouble. "I was walking by myself and I saw two dogs wander down the street. I was afraid, I'm afraid of dogs and I don't like dogs. The way I saw them coming I knew they was going to attack me," DeeDee said.

Moments later both pitbulls lunged at DeeDee who is about 8 months pregnant. "They jumped on me." DeeDee screamed as loud as she could. Neighbors like Kim Kline ran to help, "I got my baseball bat in my car in the back seat and I sprinted on fast as I could for a full block.

The cops and forensics ought to search the home of the alleged owner and finding those dogs DNA in the home, arrest and prosecute.

I'd like to see a minimum of ten years for the owners of pit bulls that attack.

These dogs are a menace and should both be put down. The owners will have to pay the med bills.

The breed should be exterminated. All existing dogs should be rounded up and put to death. The breed serves NO useful purpose.

(I could also say the same thing about progressives)

That is a start...

Every pitbull should have a chip installed that points to the original owner and that owner should have cradle to grave liability for the dog's actions. It is the same concept as company's liability for the disposal of toxic substances.

Why not all dogs? Most municipalities have ordinances against letting dogs roam at large.

Dogs pick up on this. It's why they shouldn't be allowed to roam freely.

When gunpowder speaks, pitbulls obey.

Wrap yourself in the Second Amendment - get your CCW permit!

I have it...

If a pitbull attacked me on the street in the middle of a city, are you legally able to shoot it? Palm Beach county.... I just have it for people who are going to try to open my car door or enter my house.....

The short answer to your question is: Yes.

In Florida, CCW is to protect yourself. Whether the threat is on two legs or four is not important.

Your lawyer can explain it better than can I.

PS If you have to shoot a dog, and the dog doesn’t have an owner, call the nearest Chinese restaurant.
