Mom's assertion that the dog nearly tore the kid's eye out is refuted by the 4 stitches required to fix the kid. If you consider that "facial surgery," fine. I think any medium to large breed dog could puncture a kids eye socket.

I was in a dog pack attack situation with my dog some years back. Two standard poodles, two pits, a lab, and two rat dogs ran away from their owner and surrounded us. The two poodles were the worst aggressors, making brief contact. The pits hung back about ten feet to see what developed.

Tell your story to someone else
My corgi suffered three pit (three different dogs) attacks in 10 years, First one I was luck and manage to her in the back of my truck, second one she was on a rope laying just outside my garage I happen to see the the pit charging from 5 house down I grabbed a shovel from the corner and smacked it as hard as I could in the face. I stop the charge and ran back a bit seem dazed and was thinking about what it was going to do next his owned was running down after it and I told him if he didn’t get it now I was going to chop it up with that shovel. Third not so luck I was taking Hope out for a walk step down the drive way and a lady three doors down had her pit out on a leash it had knocked her down and was charging Hope knew what was happening took off running before I could grab her I manged to get a hold on her and was lifting her up when the pit clammed down on her right rear leg I could get her lose. Still had my work boots on and let go with a kick to the pits belly. About this time the pits owner came up and managed to get a hold on its leash and started pulling it back down the street toward her house cry and tell me how sorry she was, she was almost hysterical. I just told her to get the damn dog home and I grab Hope went into the house she was bleeding pretty good from two deep puncture wounds. I wrap her in an old blanket and me and the wife head for the Vet. We spent the newt week cleaning the wound every 6 hours so she could come home we took her in on Monday to our regular Vet and he was impressed the job we had done and didn’t think she would need a drain. The one thing was the lady came down a few days later and profusely apologizing and clearly upset, She also paid the Vet bill.

To me a person keeping a pit is like those people that keep a Tiger, lion or any wild animal brainless idiots who think only of themselves and their own wishes and care not what damaged they do to others.
