I have a hard time calling a mother that kept 2 pit bulls in the same house as a 2 year old and a 5 month old a “hero.”
Years can go by with nothing happening, and then...
I’d like to blame this horrible event on gun violence.
Two pitbulls in the house was a least an inkling of danger.
Two dogs make a pack. They will work together against their prey because instinct takes over. Even non-pits will do this in the right situations. Not kill necessarily, but will do it even in play against the “master.”
Heartbreaking for the family.
“Hero mother tells her stupid husband ‘no’ to pit bulls, undergoes ugly divorce gets her kids away from danger of idiot with pit bulls”
Is the only way this story is heroic.
I’ve heard this story so many times before. Bowser was such a sweet little dog until junior twitched the wrong eyebrow and got mauled. As far as I am concerned the inbred breed is worthless and shone destroyed!
Was the husband in the house at the time? I suspect not.
My friend has pit bulls (no young children around) and those dogs listen to HIM, and HIM only. Maybe its the breed and also I believe it depends on the gender of the dog. They follow the alpha male.
Was this in Ukraine?
Pit bulls are not pets.
They can be pets, but, only from a distance, just like tigers in a cage.

Too too many people get “big dogs” because it’s “cool?!
Dogs they can’t physically control or control through training.
I just clicked to see if it was a beagle or perhaps springer spaniel. Imagine my surprise to find once again it was a couple of “Dogs of Peace”.
Idiots who own these things need their heads examined.
I think the problem was apparent when the parent made the decision to bring pit bulls anywhere near their children.
Was it buried?
The fact that dad called the two dogs the "house lions"? Does that not, in of itself, infer that they MAY be a bit aggressive? And if so, is it EVER worth the risk?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot-- over?
Why oh WHY do people think that this is a good idea to have such things around their kids?
"Glorious God, please take both of these beautiful children to Heaven, and somehow ease the eternal pain their parents must now endure".
Pit bulls go from zero to full aggression in a split second. There is no stages, no warnings. The other factor that is that they are lethal where other dogs may just snap or bite. In New Mexico there was an eight year old pit bull that slept in the back of a gun shop. There was never a problem till one day he ripped a four year olds face off. As someone else wrote, “they are like a loaded gun.”
Was sure it was going to be Goldens this time. /s
And that mother must relive that incident on daily basis.
I’m sure she’ll never forget the screams of her babies as the dogs were killing them.
People with children shouldn’t play pitbull lottery.
Happened to a friend of mine’s kid, although he got lucky and only lost an eye.
