The only good pit bull is a dead one.

Heartbreaking. Just heart wrenching. Bless this angel Lord. Bless and comfort her family and friends as they grieve. Bless too the family with the pit bull and the dog. It is all so very sad.

Sigh. This little one’s family must be drowning in sorrow and grief. What a complete shame. Stories like this have caused me to never allow my little kids to even go near these types of dogs. If I was visiting a friend, who was taking care of a friend’s pit bull, I would probably just go home.

Wow, the mother is taking this a lot better than I would. I’d blame the dog and want to kill it with my own hands. I’d blame my own self for letting my small child be exposed to this danger. ack

Ping.

"...mauled by a pit bull in a family friend's back yard...attacked by the dog while she and her mother, Katia Todesco, were visiting a friend...The girl's mother said she doesn't blame anyone for the attack. 'It was a terrible accident that should never have happened,' Todesco said."

I've often heard over the past 35 years or so (since about the beginning of the latest divorce industry wave) that friends and animals are more important.

I consider anyone that has a pitbull to be a creep. I wouldn’t want to be around such people.

Beautiful child, all gone. RIP.

I hate those damn pit bulls. My neighbors have them and they have gotten loose and nearly attacked an elderly neighbor (who had to call 911) and they’ve lunged at me and my cats as well.

[pissant]

this is heartbreaking and extremely infuriating at the same time.

If you kill a pit bull in self-defense with 12 gauge slugs, make sure that there are extra rounds in the magazine. ...just in case any drug zombies want to follow up on the pit bull attack.

Good pit bulls don’t make very interesting headlines.

When we first moved to California the first people we became friends with had two pit bulls. A male and a female. The male had been fought many times and was a scarred up mess. The female hated the male with a passion.

Occasionally the two would get in a fight and the only way they could be separated was a water hose at full pressure until they were nearly drowned.

[budwiesest]

wouldn’t the Clintons have been all over it in the primaries?

Probably still in shock. I'll not type what I think of pitbulls and their owners.

[budwiesest]

Wow, the mother is taking this a lot better than I would.

There, better.

[babygene]

Why haven’t you killed it yet? I would...

[LongElegantLegs]

We can’t all be creeps.

The male had been fought many times and was a scarred up mess. The female hated the male with a passion. Occasionally the two would get in a fight and the only way they could be separated was a water hose at full pressure until they were nearly drowned.

Are you talking about the dogs or the people? ;^)

[babygene]

And the owner...

[LongElegantLegs]

Have you contacted animal control? That sounds like a bad situation...

"Good pit bulls don’t make very interesting headlines."

That's because publishers assume that readers aren't interested in learning more about dead pit bulls.
