While the article at the source does not give the dog’s breed, if you will watch the 42-second news vid at the link, one neighbor said it was a pit bull, but that the owner’s husband said it was “not a pit bull, but a special type of hunting dog that is larger and stronger than a pit bull.”

Whether or not the dog in question which attacked its owner
is a “large pit bull” or a “pit-bull type” dog, “but larger and stronger”, possibly a Dogo Argentino, a Fila Braseiro, A Presario, or another “large pit-bull-type” breed, let us not loose sight of the fact that a large-scale breeding operation of these types of dogs has been taking place here, - ostensibly a commercial operation in a residential neighborhood - and one of the dogs has attacked and mauled its owner very badly.
This is happening way too often. We may just be grateful it was not a neighbor’s child, as too often that is the case.
The scariest dog I’ve ever run across was a basenji.
It wasn’t that big but boy was it fast and quiet. They don’t bark. So you don’t know they are there.
that accurate information is crucial and we should not be willy-nilly identifying a dog incorrectly.
We're not dogsbite.org here or Merrit Clifton.
We insist on accuracy and facts, not incorrect identification or generalizations.
large-scale breeding operation
Based on what?
"housed several dogs" according to Investigators
20 dogs? according to neighbors?
How many breeding females? How many stud dogs?
How many of the dog were newborn pups?
it was not a neighbor’s child, as too often that is the case.
What's "too often" the case. Once is too often!
Here's some homework for you.
You have the location. You have the officers name.
You can find the local Animal Control number.
Call them
Find out the actual number of dogs
Find out if AC has accurately identified the dogs
Find out the M/F numbers. Find out if she is breaking the law.
