Editorial: Unleash efforts to regulate pit bulls
The Boston Herald ^ | 04-15-2018 | Herald Staff

Last week a woman in Roxbury lost control of her dog, a pit bull mix.

It was in the midst of mauling a woman when police shot it. Also last week in Hyannis, a 22-year-old man was attacked and wounded by a pit bull named Zeus.

In January, in Falmouth, a 1-year-old girl sustained life-threatening injuries when the family pit bull attacked her, biting her in the face. The child’s father had to resort to stabbing the animal with a knife to end the attack. After being treated locally she was flown to a Boston hospital for further care.

My purebred Amstaff lived until last June...2 months shy of his 16th birthday.

My sincerest condolences. I've suffered the same kind of loss and it really hurts. You both must have had a wonderful like together. In over 30 years with wonderful dogs, my advice to you is do as I've always done: get another.

Hopefully, his footsteps lead him to the same place they led Chet.

I love FR but if it becomes dogsbite.FR I'm going to have trouble donating what little money I can afford.

Hopefully your right about going away. We need a lot less dog troll action on here.
I think the best thing to do is ignore it and do things in real life(not bickering on the interweb)that make a difference.
Sure shows you how ignorant some posters are on this forum.I think that’s what Chet2.0’s plan is.Have people argue and look foolish.
I like Sam.

Just heard your bear story. Don’t know what to say but wow. Two hero’s working together to save each other.
I fished Easy lake years ago. Flew into it from Wah-Wah. It was one of my most memorable trips of my life. Very wild and beautiful country.
Did Sam ever end up getting a medal for bear blocking?
