You have every reason to be concerned. It is hard to believe that someone (hubby/dog owner) can be so blind as to the fact that if the dog was protecting property, and it growled at the baby for going near the ball that it would also attack and kill the child.
I hope that you reported the incident to Animal Control. In my area there are very specific requirements for keeping a "vicious" dog and right or wrong, certain breeds of dogs are considered vicious. Pitts and pit mixes are one. |
