Posted on 06/10/2011 9:50:51 PM PDT by Jim 726

HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- A 74-year-old man attacked by pit bulls Friday morning had his right arm amputated, his left arm partially amputated and suffered severe facial injuries, Putnam County deputies said. Deputies were called to the 200 block of Old Hawthorne Road in Hawthorne about 11 a.m. and found Roy McSweeney severely injured. McSweeney was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville and was in surgery Friday afternoon. His condition was not available. Investigators said the two dogs responsible for the attack belonged to McSweeney's neighbor.

They said the owner of the dogs gave both of them to authorities, and the pit bulls were euthanized and taken to the Putnam County Health Department to be tested for rabies.

Deputies said no further details could be released. .

Useless website.

They arbitrarily lump *anything* even remotely resembling a stocky, square headed dog into the “pit/pit type” category.

I’ve seen idiots identify a Lab/Boxer mix as a “pit bull”.

Show me the DNA.

They -have- the technology.

It is a good Dog. Maybe a few years and has a 10 year old teaching him. They both bark at me every chance they get.

Case in point:

Yesterday, the idiot FL LEOS identified this dog as a “pit bull”.

After I repeatedly ragged the reporter, they ‘corrected’ it to “bull terrier mix’ which is *still* on there and dead wrong.

This a pure Bull Terrier, which, I am overjoyed to say, has been FOUND and returned to his owner.

Yeah.

He looks just like a pit bull.

/facepalm

I was attacked by a pit-chow 20 years ago. After I broke its ribs I no longer hear from him. He survived but his reckless days were over.

OMG...I LOVED that!

I sent it to hubby and he wanted to punch the teaser’s lights out for tormenting the dog.

I’m like “Honey...the dog isn’t ~really~ talking...the *guy* is doing a voice-over!”

I have watched that probably 20 times and it’s still fall-down-laughing funny....:D

You’ve got some good “attentive” dogs. Anyone with such a friend should take notice.

We have a rental house. The lease is specific and my homeowners insurance lists several breeds that are not allowed. Of course Pits are one of them. Those breeds are listed on the lease. I found out these renters have brought in TWO Pit Bulls. They keep them inside to hide them. We did a walk through, no damage to the inside...yet. I gave them 2 weeks to get rid of them. They didn’t. Now I am evicting them.

It's called "the look of eagles".

They see *everything*, all the time.

Yes, I stole that exact graphic from humblegunner too. Thanks for posting it for me when I was too lazy to do so.

I mean! Three mouse clicks! It’s all just too much.

Powers Boothe, mmm, mmm, mmm.

Yes, my Cavs are the best dogs ever.
However there was a story about 2 that chewed their elderly owner’s toes off last winter. IIRC,it was thought that he had gangrene in them and the dogs did him a “favor”.

I would never leave ANY dog unattended with a child or an elderly person, not even my Sweeties.

Chet 99/Jim 726 was ZOTted for posting a series of anti-Paiin leftist media garbage threads. Jim Rob gave him a personal sendoff.
