“The scene was pretty horrific. We don’t know what time the attack took place,” Ryder said. “There was obviously a lot of mutilation on the body, legs, face.”
The 7-year-old dog originally belonged to the family’s stepson, who died a few weeks ago in a motorcycle crash, according to the report.
Such pleasant little beasts
Nature, Gaia.
How did that work? Wouldn't he either be the woman's son and the man's stepson, or the man's son and the woman's stepson? I suppose he could have been either the woman's or the man's stepson from a previous marriage, and then he'd be the step-stepson of the other spouse.
Anyway, the deaths of both the stepson and the step-parent are very sad.
Oh that's right.. You need a PERMIT to keep a lion.
EUTHANIZE THE BREED. There's a REASON animal shelters are FULL OF PIT BULLS: Even their OWNERS BECOME AFRAID OF THEM!
Shouldn’t pit bull owners be required to get a permit? And have their social media checked first?
“Well, MY pit bull has always been gentle and wouldn’t hurt a..Down boy! Stop! STOP!! .ARRRGGHH.....!!!!”
How unusual!
Sounds like a dominance issue. Dog lost his master who was alpha, the parents took him in, mom gave an order and dog challenged. These dogs are not fluffy little love balls, they are serious dogs that should not be in pet homes with inexperienced owners. Personally I would never own one and I’ve owned several difficult breeds.
We had a pit rescue picked up off the streets of NOLA. She was feral and we had her for ten years. I’ve had labs, goldens, Chesapeake bay retrievers, Shepards and mutts, the pit was the gentlest, smartest and most loyal of the bunch.
One case proves nothing, I know but I’d take that dog back in a heartbeat.
Well, at least things worked out:
The 7-year-old dog originally belonged to the family’s stepson, who died a few weeks ago in a motorcycle crash
Biker with a vicious pit bull. Shocking.
they ended up killing the dog.

I doubt the Pit would have ever lived outside a public shelter
of tax payer money.
I work homeowner liability claims, the vast majority of which are dog bites. They aren’t all pit bulls, but 90% if the horrific ones are.
I despise these type dogs as I despise Moslems. Except one is inherent, the other philosophical environment.
Both are equally unreliable and destructive.
Pit bulls are 66% of all dog mallling fatalities of humans. Second place is Rottweilers at 10%.
I like the women walking pits they can’t control.
I saw this one walking two leashed big pits on a sidewalk and a woman across the street was walking the other way with a dog on a leash. Pea brain with the pits was nearly drug to the center of the road as those pits were going to eat the other dog and it’s owner. The lunatic with the pits just barely kept it from happening. Real close to getting real ugly.
Eats the female owner then goes after the cops. What a great family pet to have in the neighborhood.
