Owner Shoots, Kills Dog After It Attacks Girl
Girl Receives 38 Stitches From Dog Attack
POSTED: 11:40 am EDT September 8, 2005
DETROIT -- An owner was apparently forced to shoot her dog after it attacked a 7-year-old girl in her Detroit neighborhood, Local 4 reported.
Lajoy Morgan said her daughter, Rebecca, was playing in the back yard of a neighbors house when the dog jumped a fence and lunged at her.
"When I seen my child, it's just blood running everywhere, from her legs, from her chest, from her side," said Morgan.
Morgan said the owner of the dog was forced to shoot the animal to stop it.
"She was using sticks, she was using chairs, she was using everything, so she felt she didn't have no other choice but to shoot this dog," Morgan said.
The owner admitted that if she hadn't taken action, the German Shepherd-pit bull mix may have killed the child, the station reported.
Rebecca was taken to a hospital where she received 38 stitches.
No criminal charges have been filed in the case.

Without even reading the article, it's either a pit bull or at least a mix of one.
Am I right?

38 stitches? She was lucky. A friend's daughter was attacked by a dog and needed almost 200 stitches to close up the wounds in her scalp.

It's okay. The usual folks will show up soon and say PIT BULLS ARE SWEET LOVING ANIMALS AND WHENEVER ANY ONE GETS VICIOUS IT'S ONLY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MISTREATED BY AN OWNER (repeat ad nauseum).

Wow. Amazing the owner killed the dog. Usually to owner says "My dog never hurt nobody, the kid must have done something to provoke the attack."
Oh, and before the thread gets too long: Did ANYBODY doubt after reading the headline that it was a pit bull? In this case, a 1/2 pit bull, 1/2 sheperd. Did ANY of you think, gee, I wonder if it was a poodle or a golden retriever? If not, then how can you argue that pit bulls aren't more dangerous than other dogs?

At least the owner had the guts and the gumption to know what to do.

Oh, and before the thread gets too long: Did ANYBODY doubt after reading the headline that it was a pit bull? As soon as I saw the location (Detroit) I was pretty darn certain. It wouldn't suprise me if over 90% of all dogs in our inner cities were Pits or Pit mixes.

I would not own a pit bull or a pit bull mix. If any of my neighbors had one I would have a loaded and ready weapon right near the front door.

Don't shoot the dog, shoot the owner.
