Mother and boyfriend plus put the dog asleep.
How do you know the genius mom even fed the dog? How is the dog to blame??? Maybe the deadbeat mom should have had the 4 MONTH OLD baby in her room as she slept. Why was the child on the couch and not in the crib (where babies normally sleep)?

It's just my opinion.Last time I looked this wasn't the podium.Biotch,biotch,biotch you sound like my ex BF.
Maybe you should find a new BF.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
As to the poll, the dog was but the instrument. The adults were the cause. IMO they are the ones that should be put down. Well maybe that's a little harsh??
If you want another sick pit bull attack story

Pit Bulls are vicious animals, and they shouldn't be purchased as pets.

Totally agreed. The should be banned as pets.

That's bull****. I've got a good friend who has numerous pits, as well as young children. Hell, the kids can use the dogs as pillows, because the dogs are as loving and gentle as can be.
Not a great photo, but this is a regular occurance in her house.
Vicious pit bulls are largely a result of environment.

Where was the boyfriend? Article doesn't say.
One city here has banned them, hefty fine if you're caught. You can keep an existing one, IIRC, but you have to show proof of a healthy liability insurance policy. Other cities are thinking about implementing the same policy.
Any dog can have a bad day and snap, it's just that pits seem to do it more often. A real shame about the kid

We've got a short legged beagle. She is afraid of everything. We got her from Rescue after she was criminally mistreated. But when someone asks me if she bites, I tell them well she does have teeth. Too many people assume that a dog won't bite because they haven't before. However you never know what may set a dog off.

our dog is a yellow-lab/pit bull/chow mix. I'm with VAdirt on this.
Listen to the news
Because nobody admits to or reports being bitten by a teacup yorkie...

Here's the thing...more people are bitten by Dachshunds and Dalmations every year than Pitbulls. More people are killed by Rottweilers than Pitbulls.
Granted, there is a greater potential for serious injury if bitten by a Pitbull than if bitten by a Dachshund.
Nobody reports being bitten by a poodle or Chihuahua (which also bite more people anually than do Pitbulls). The media is partly to blame for the public fear of Pitbulls. In the 60's and 70's it was Doberman Pincers that the media portrayed as vicious and unpredictable. After the movie The Omen in the mid-70's the media focused on Rottweilers as the new problem dog.
The same as poor parents raise delinquent children, irresponsible dog owners raise problem dogs.
Because of my job, I'm required to attend dog classes put on by Bulli Ray ( http://www.bulliray.com/template3.php ) We put on the big attack suit and get attacked by Pitbulls, Rotts and German Shepherds (they will not let us near the Argentino Dogo, for obvious reasons). I probably encounter 20-30 dogs every day. I go into a lot of varying neighborhoods. I've been in the hood and I've been in the barrio. Gangbangers are not responsible dog owners. The dog of choice for most street thugs is the Pitbull or Rottweiler. I've also seen a few Presa Canarios. The only dogs that have ever seriously tried to attack me were German Shepherd, ****er Spaniel and 2 mixed mutts. Never has a Pitbull attemped to attack me.
Saying that Pitbulls should be banned (as they are England, along with 4 other breeds) is like saying that food should be banned for causing obesity.
Responsible dog owners can and do raise well-mannered, non-vicious Pitbulls.

Bowzer, as i said previously, is yellow lab, pit bull, and chow.
We aren't sure where the lab came from, his mom was pit and dad was chow.
BF, I know how you feel. Our doberman back in California was police trained in german becuase my dad knew a trainer and we got a steep discount. We have a picture here somewhere of the attack-suit phase. Hazard's (great name, huh?) teeth went through the arm mitt and broke skin on the guy's arm after charging him at full speed.
Now, BF, you might want to skip this part.....Unless you were our mailman
When Hazard was 3 months old, the mail man made us get a PO box because Hazard's bark could be heard through the door. The day we moved, my dad saw the mailman coming down the street. When he was about 3 houses away, Dad put Hazard on the "Bad guy" command (in german, of course). Poor guy didn't even had time to react- Dad yelled "Sit" (in german) and Hazard sat literally about a yard in front of the guy and smiled. Told the mailman not to move a muscle, and resumed packing the truck. About 10 minutes later, Dad called Hazard back and let the guy finish his route.
Now i've trained bowzer about the same- He tears up my arms pretty doggone good. The big difference was using a harness instead of a collar- he learned eal quick who is in control.
Our neighbor has a White Mastiff, the house behind hers has 2 pit-mixes, the house behind us has a shiztu, and down the street is a black mastiff. And across the street from us is a cop. So we don't expect any crime anytime soon unless somebody wants to become dinner......Like the being of which this bone used to be a member of....

Bobby, I too am out on the streets working and I also have had my share of run-ins with dogs. I've been bitten by several too so I know a little about this subject myself. Ever have a Dobbie jump out of a second story window and attack you? I have and if I hadn't had my mail bag with me, my right arm would now be but a stub. I know small dogs can and do bite and that can hurt just as bad, but small dogs can't knock me down and go for my throat which can kill me. Many big dogs don't even have to knock me down to do this.
Dogs have traits that they are born with and some things come instinctively. I have a Maltese (a big one that was supposed to be full blooded, but we think there was something in the haystack there) who will stalk our other dogs. No one taught him that and it's funny to watch. The point is, true Pit Bulls were bred to fight, thus their name. After many years of traits being bred into them, one never knows when something like that will arise. Also, Pit Bulls have a tendency to lock their jaws when they clamp down on something. Another thing that makes them very dangerous. There is a reason why street thugs, drug dealers choose Pit Bulls for their pets/guard dog. You won't see very many of those Tea Cup Yorkies in the hood. But I have seen many little Yorkies who believe they are able to whip the King of the Jungle because they haven't been taught otherwise.
