No. I see your point. Somehow what I’m trying to get across just isn’t coming out the way I intended.
Lots of pit attacks happen because the dogs are allowed to run loose. In this case, the attack happened without any direct irresponsible (letting them run loose) type action.
I agree that it sounds like she was ignoring the warning signs of the dog becoming dangerous. The fact that a neighbor saw the dog being beat with a shovel by someone else should have alerted the lady.
From another thread: “ One neighbor, Rudy Lopez, said he saw a woman beating one of the dogs a few weeks ago with a shovel after it was involved in a fight with another dog. “
