Just a horrific thought for any parent. Prayers for the family, and prayers that some good come out of this.

No specific animal breeds are forbidden on base, but animals that are deemed vicious are not allowed to stay in base housing, according to base order 10570.1B.

This is a bad idea.

A military base is is one of the few places where this kind of stuff can be prevented simply by prohibiting pit bulls and a few other "unpredictable" breeds.

I hope the commander has the cojones to change this policy.

Some dogs have no place in a community. If you want to have one go live by yourself in the back woods.

Wonder when the Pit Bull apologist will show up to tell us it’s not the dogs fault.

My neighbor has a pit bull that jumped the fence and attacked my Basset Hound. I heard my dog howling and went out to find that the pit bull had my dog by the throat. After chasing to dog off with a shovel I demanded that my neighbors chain it to a tree if they couldnt control it.

My dog is now scared to go outside, and the neighbors dog having learned that he could scale the fence and that my dog is terrified of it now goes ballistic everytime it is outside at the same time as my dog. The neighbors apparently will not chain their dog, but at least the husband will jump on the dog’s back and wrap his arms around the dog to hold it back if my dog happens to be doing his business at the same time as they let the pit bull out.

I don’t want to call the authorities on my neighbors but my patience has long since worn thin. The dog is a public menace and needs to be controlled. I am worried to let my 10 year old son go in the backyard because of it.

Pit bull terriers attack, critically injure 3 year old in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH — A 3-year-old girl was in critical condition at Cook Children’s Medical Center after being attacked by two pit bull terriers Wednesday night.

Police responded to the call shortly before 8 p.m. at a mobile home park in the 5000 block of N. DeSoto Court, Lt. Jimmy McCarthy said. The child’s aunt, who was also injured, was taken to Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, McCarthy said. Police declined to identify the woman.

The girl does not live where the attack took place, but was in the care of her aunt at the time, said Lynn Alexander, a neighbor at the Redwood Estates Mobile Home Park in southeast Fort Worth.
