For some reason, that article didn’t say their breed.
Scottish Terriers?

Pit Bulls?
The worst breed. And they’re interbreeding with so many other kinds. Look at your local humane society pics. Over half are pit mixes.
I’ve had experience with them, not as an owner but as neighbor.They cannot be trusted.
Phillips said her grandson was with his mother, Ashley, at a friend’s home when the dogs attacked him.
She said he was bitten about 16 times, including a bite to the main artery in his neck.
His grandmother said the homeowner shot one of the dogs and the other was taken away by Animal Control

I take the OT approach to this kind of crap.
If a person is injured by an animal, the owner is fined. Proportional to the kind of injury suffered.
If a person’s animals kill a person, the animal’s owner is put to death. Accidentally killed or deliberately killed by them. That tells you how high a regard God has both for human life, and for prematurely ending a human life.
Greathouse says it's devastating that her nephew's fight for life ended like this. The Kindergartener had already battled through several heart surgeries for a medical condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

Sad for sure and
I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, the only people who think they need those kind of dogs are the regular “one-inch-d*ck” types. Very insecure about their masculinity, so they need these dogs (and other things) to show how “tough” they are. God bless this poor child.
He’s with his Hero now. Prayers for the loved ones.
Pit bulls are ticking time bombs. I have no time for people who deny this reality. Such a shame.

...what could possibly go wrong?
I know a young lady who has a pit.
She’s very bright, masters in EE from MIT.
I cannot explain why she has such a dangerous animal!?
I think the entire breed should be expunged.
Very sad.
