Now admittedly, this is not a pit, but a Rotti I am talking about, but this one was "family friendly", and had been around the baby grandaughter all of her little life. So the dog is chained outside and baby grandaughter and paw paw go out to feed it. The baby made some kind of abrupt movement that angered the dog, and he went for her neck and killed her. Grandad had to shoot the dog to get it to let go, but too late.
Now he had been "observed", and the only explanation was "these dogs SOMETIMES don't like sudden movements around them".
