A 6-month-old from Hawaii was mauled to death Monday by her family's pit bull.

Layla Tsuda, who said she was with the girl, told KHON-TV that the baby was playing in a baby walker inside their home in northwest Las Vegas valley when she was attacked.

Tsuda reportedly went to the bathroom and when she came back she found the dog mauling the girl. Tsuda was able to stop the attack, but the baby already suffered major injuries, according to KTNV.

The child was rushed to the hospital where she died.

What I have heard about these dogs is that if they do attack and latch onto someone, even the owners can’t get the to back off. That’s what scares me.

For the love of God don’t expose any small children around these animals! How many more of these stories do we have to see!?

True. The woman I know whose pit bull attacked her wouldn't let go and the husband had to shoot the dog while it had its jaws clamped on her arm. This was a pit bull lovingly raised from a pup, by people who said, it's the owners, not the breed that's bad. They no longer think that way. The woman is lucky it happened when her husband was home.

Pit-bulls are the muslims of the dog world.

Our black cocker spaniel was attacked again on our property last night (Wednesday) for the second time this week. He was attacked on Sunday. Both times he was ambushed.
The pit bull next door came right over as my wife and I walking to our front door after unloading her car. Our dog was on a leash during both attacks. The pit bull was not leashed or secure. We are in the process of getting a fence to have a secure area for our dog so there is not fixed structure fence between our properties. The neighbor had just installed an electric fence on his property.
Sunday when the first attack occurred, the neighbor had the electric fence turned off and the pit was not wearing the electric fence collar. Last night the pit bull had the collar on but it did not matter - he just came right over to our driveway and attacked out dog.
He had a vise grip on our dog’s hind leg. The owner ran over and was punching it in the head to get it to release our dog. Our dog had on a plastic “recovery” collar from the first attack and could not defend himself.
The pit bull is a like a live steel leg trap waiting to grab onto something or someone. We finally got the pit bull off our dog and loaded into the car to head to the veterinary hospital for the second time this week. On the ride over my wife called the police to report the dog.
Our dog's back leg was injured this time and the healing process from Sunday’s attack is wasted.
The neighbors are paying the veterinary bills. Sunday’s bill was 800 and yesterday’s was 200.
Long story short - when we got home the hospital the neighbors left us a note attached to our door informing us that they are returning the pit bull back from where he came.
I know it is not the breed/dog it is the irresponsible owner but pit bulls are too dangerous to be left in the care of irresponsible owners.

And that is why you only buy respectable dog breeds like Labs, Cannans, Shepherds.... but still keep them away from small children.

It happened in Las Vegas.

The SIMPLE TRUTH: You CANNOT TRUST the pit bull breed no more than you can trust a pedophile with children.

[tuffydoodle]

That’s a very sad story. I hope your dog is doing ok.

“The SIMPLE TRUTH: You CANNOT TRUST the pit bull breed no more than you can trust a pedophile with children.”

Exactly right.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

A baby from Hawaii. Oops...

I wonder how many tattoos there are between them, too.

It's the breed, period.
They were bred to fight, just like border collies are bred to herd. It's in their genes.
It can be glossed over with training but when the time comes, and who knows what sets them off, they revert to their breeding. Fight, kill.
With jaws of a steel vise they do maximum damage and are oblivious to pain.

Why do we not have babies playing with cougars?

Or wild hogs?

Or elephants?

Why are there no horses in the living room with baby?

Yet, pit bulls. It occurs so often it is not coincidental. To the point common sense is now the first one hears about a dog mauling/death story the reasonable person first think “pit bull” and are overwhelmingly confirmed correct.

Or trusting a muslim to be for freedom of religion.

Mother said she went to the bathroom, could she not hear, how long was she in there? My kids always followed me to the bathroom, whatever lady.

I wonder if the soul of the baby was Islamic terrorist in previous life?

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, normally a Chihuahua is not going to be able to kill any human, but...

If you don’t drop the chalupa?????
