Boy Needs 60 Stitches After Pit Bull Attack
The Herald ^ | 08/05/2009 | Unknown

Posted on 08/05/2009 5:09:35 PM PDT by solosmoke

A 32-year-old Hermitage woman faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment after her 1 1/2-year-old Rottweiller named “Cruz” bit a Farrell boy July 15 at her apartment in the Orange Village apartment complex, police said.

April Hughes of 400 Orange Drive, Apartment 2, was also cited with harboring a dangerous dog because this is the ninth time Cruz has bitten someone, police said

Police allege Ms. Hughes left the boy alone with the dog in the apartment and he was attacked. The boy needed 60 stitches for a head wound, police said.

Just thought I would add to the list, seeing as how these articles are so well-written. Notice the first paragraph compared to the title....

It’s not a pit bull so it doesn’t “qualify”.

I’m guessing they put “pit bull” in the title because they want ratings, and not because they think a rottie is a type of pit bull....then again, I have heard worse.

Wrong dog, true, but they’re both potentially lethal. My sister had two Rottweiler’s and was ALWAYS very careful about them being around new people or children. Unlike some of the fools who own powerful dogs, she never pretended they were harmless.

That’s what I missed.

So much for “reading for comprehension”.

Yeah, I guess the mediots are starting to use “pit bull” whenever possible - kinda like “assault weapon”.

Well, Rottweiler *does* have a “t” in so I reckon that’s almost a piT bull.

Ban pit Rotts!

All dogs, and many other animals for that matter, are potentially lethal. Responsible ownership is the cure.

“Responsible ownership is the cure.”

Great wisdom that will be utterly wasted on some.
