Man gotta sleep on the floor.... can't afford a wife, child, or dog. And probably isn't responsible enough to own a ferret.
Prayers for the child.

Doesn't matter which animal did it (if in fact it even was one of the animals at all), the parents are morons for not protecting their child.
Great story though for pit haters to decide it was the pit...even though the puppy was only 6 WEEKS old.

I wouldn't have guessed that this was just a misdemeanor. Insane.

My brother and I grew up with pits, and we have all of our toes and other body parts. So do all of our friends who played with our dogs. They were part of the family.
I've got pit mixes now, and the only abuse that has happened are their previous owners beating them, not them showing aggression towards humans.

They were not tested for alcohol or drugs
I could not imagine sleeping next to one of my children while they were being eaten alive and not responding.

Yes, and I have been around pitbulls and lived to tell the tale.
And so what of it? The damned things are worse than handgrenades. A handgrenade can't pull its own pin. A pitbull can and will go off for no reason at all.
I'd rather have a handgrenade in the house.

B.S.
A pit will NOT "go off" for any reason. Pits are not by nature human-aggressive.

It's a failed breed. You may have known exceptions but that doesn't alter the reality.

Failed breed?
Pit bulls have been family dogs for a long time, it wasn't until pimps and thugs co-opted the breed for their PROPENSITY (not PREDISPOSITION) to cause harm that the breed got a bad rap.
It's obvious who knows the breed and who doesn't.

They were bred due to their disposition. You disagree, fine. Why do you think they were bred then?

Pits were bred to fight OTHER DOGS, not HUMANS. And that was no fault of their own, of course.
See the difference? Pits do not target humans unless they are specifically trained to do so (as opposed to genetically disposed to do so) by crappy human beings; it is not in their genetics to be human-aggressive.
