“It then got the taste of blood in her mouth and went crazy,” Dalena Martin told WFAA. “She (the dog) was already becoming reactive, but she was a family dog and she laid with McKenna the night before.”

McKenna was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, where she’s been since. The dog attacked her face, crushed her cheek bones and bit her leg.

I have a young (late 30’s) female relative who took a pit bull pup in from a shelter because “the pup’s mother was shot so the pup was an orphan.” This relative take care of her boyfriend’s young daughter. The boyfriend has alcohol problems. Talk about a disaster waiting to happen.

Yikes. Praying for all involved there. It’s amazing how much power tv/ pop culture has over people.

“Might’ve been better off with the meth head parents, than being placed in a pit bull home.”

As the child of two dead meth head parents I’m not sure which is worse.

true but her parents are drug addicts that can’t/won’t give it up for their kid. not responsible people.
Kids don’t come first on the all baby all the time network? or do you just worry about them before they are born? i can guess.

“Breeding these dogs should have been made illegal years ago”

Exactly my vets sentiments. He will not take pit bulls as patients. He has a large practice and boarding facility, quite a few employees and will not jeopardize their safety. He claims “pits are antisocial and the types of people who have them are as well, it’s a dangerous relationship”.
