Dude....she was watching tv. If that’s not provocation, I just don’t know what is.
(sarcasm off)
I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.
I am honestly not saying this sarcastically nor (and I hate this word) judgmentally — but I don’t understand how these dogs kill children when adults are present. I can only think that they just inflict fatal injuries incredibly quickly.
Otherwise, the adult surely covers the child with his/her body, or kicks the dog across the county, or throws a table at it...?
Horrific. Just can’t imagine.
I don’t want muslims or pit bulls moving next to me. You just can’t trust them.
Why was she watching TV by an escaped pitbull?
This is a terrible thing and my heart goes out to the child and her family. The knee jerk reaction is the same as when a gun tragedy happens. Ban the gun or in this case ban the protective breed of dog. Disarm the population in any way possible so we will be dependent on police protection.
The more I think about it the more I think we aren’t being told the whole story. The dog came into the house where a whole group was watching TV? Something isn’t right here.
In the happenstance of a dog attack, you need to do three things.
1. Grab an umbrella or stick and wave it at the dog. The dog will grab the umbrella as if it is an extention of your arm.
2. With an aluminum bat, from Wal-mart, hit the dog on the head.
3. Keep hitting until death occurs.

Shame on the headline writer. Go directly to the stupid corner.
A pitbull. What an amazing coincidence.
Children should never watch tv by a neighbors’ escaped pit bull. That’s how these things happen. They should watch tv by a neighbors’ captive kitten.
Racist pitt bull.should be burned to death on a white flaming cross. (:
The spirit of Chet99 lives on!
How did the neighbor’s dog get into her home? Why is that important detail omitted?
I’ve yet to meet a dog who could magically teleport itself at will, so I think we can safely rule that option out.
I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one?
When is enough enough? How many more children need to be maimed or mauled to death because of the behaviors of these dogs and the lack of responsibility of the owners? This world has to STOP and return to civility once again. This has gone beyond and needs to be taken care of. Just look at this child. A baby!!! Now she is dead because of a dog who wasn’t secured properly. God help us all.
Shocked... shocked I tell you. So a month or so ago, one ate a newborn, a week or so one killed a pregnant woman, now another one. I wonder about how many have happened in other countries and we didn’t hear about it. These dogs should be banned. End of story. Irresponsible breeding has turned them into unpredictable beasts.
Recently there was a pregnant woman in Pacifica, Calfiornia that was killed by her Pit Bull. Seems she was a member of a group that is trying to change the public perception of Pit Bulls as being vicious animals.
Said it before, will say it again.
All pitbulls must be eliminated. If that doesn’t work we can move on from there.

Is that you, Chet99?
