Boy, those chihuahuas can be vicious.
Kill them all, every last one of them
The Dogs of Peace.
One dog was obviously part or full pitbull, but the black one looks like mostly lab. Knowing how sweet labs are, one of the most recommended dogs for families, I am surprised. Did they have proof that both dogs participated in the attack?
It’s the owners that teach them to be vicious.
Where did the article say they were pitbulls?
Dogs dead, breed should be dead. Owners need to be charged with murder, convicted, and executed. Make clear their are consequences to owning these dogs.
What a tragedy. I love dogs but at least one of them should have been shot on sight.
As usual, it’s the Amish dogs...
The breed needs extermination...
Although it is true that they can be faithful and seem to be docile, there is a trigger with these dogs.
Have a neighbor who has a couple and keeps them fenced in. Until one day a couple years ago one got out and just about killed a golden lab down the road. He was all giddy about it until he got the vet bill served to him from the owners of the lab. He paid the bill to avoid the impending court case. I told him that if that dog ever gets out and comes in my yard all hell will break out. It will come up missing.
Dogs of Peace.
Yep! Knew it. Pitbulls or mixes of them.
But those dogs won’t stand a chance next to my Black Lab. She will lick them and wag her tail all over them.
Seriously. What is wrong with people who have dangerous dogs and little children? It broke my heart but I had a Choe Chow put down after he snapped at my 18th month old son. We had tried everything...training, doggie antidepressants...three vets told me to put him down. But when he snapped at Chris
. That was it.
Of course not. It’s the same narrative with every dog attack.
They are just little lambs.
Until they are not.
Something about pit bulls I don’t know WHY people own them there are certain breeds that are so unpredictable!!
People swear by these pit bulls but for some reason the animal shelters are full of nothing but because people keep giving them up.
I remember a few years ago when my neighbor’s “sweetheart” pit bull broke through a wooden fence to get my dog who had the audacity to be on my porch. My dog retreated into my house, my mom was visiting and was with my two year old daughter. She tried to close the door, but the dog was getting in. She grabbed my daughter and ran. My poor Vizsla couldn’t fight back. He was dragged and shook all over my living room floor.
The owner somehow heard the commotion and got the dog to stop. He said, “she’s a sweetheart and has never done anything like this!”
The Dog of Peace. It doesn’t matter if you train a pit bull correctly or not. They’ve been bred with a kill switch that flips on at random.
there was a loggign show on tv for awhile- American loggers- one family had 2 rottweilers and one day the wife of the logger looked out the kitchen window to see her 4 year old daughter being killed by the dog- Total heartbreak-
Another article I read on this where the neighbors said the dogs were a menace, always ran loose, and residents kept their children inside because of them.
update today, March 17, posted at dogsbite.org blog:
“UPDATE 03/17/21: On Wednesday, Carteret Mayor Daniel Reiman issued a statement confirming that two unregistered pit bulls inflicted the multi-victim attack yesterday. At 4:30 pm Tuesday, a pair of pit bulls from a neighboring home on Birch Street breached a fence and entered into the backyard of a home on East Laurel Street. The dogs viciously attacked and killed a 3-year old boy and severely injured his mother. She remains hospitalized. Police shot and killed both dogs.
The young boy’s family had moved to the home a few months earlier from Brooklyn. They are a father, mother and three young boys, reports Patch. Neighbors are stunned and heart broken. Some broke down crying when interviewed by Patch Wednesday morning. One neighbor, Steve Koch, told Patch he heard the police gunfire. “I heard a single loud bang,” he said. “I went outside and saw all the cop cars and ambulances. I saw an adult being carried out on a stretcher.”

CBS New York interviewed the child’s relatives. The child’s name is Aziz. Relatives said the boy’s parents had pleaded with the dogs’ owners to control their dogs. “The mother went to the neighbor two times to let her know the dog is wild. It is out of hand. And you know, the owner laughed it off,” one female relative said. “This cost an innocent child his life,” another said. “If you are not safe in your own yard, where are you safe at?” asked another. Relatives said the dogs “dug their way in.”
Finally, the New York Post also published photos of the two suspected pit bulls from the owner’s Instagram page — we were correct about the dogs. Their names are Logan (black) and Rocky (brown and white). Both dogs were roaming in the area of East Laurel Street in October and were picked up by the Carteret Police Department. The Found Animals of Carteret NJ Facebook page called them “2 loveable guys.” According to the boy’s relatives, the dogs were habitually loose.”
