On Monday afternoon my son and I were attacked by 2 5month old pittbulls. My son received 9 bites and I received 5. The puppies belong to my neighbor and his roomate and they came from the same litter. The attack was unprovoked, I called my son in and stood at the front door for a minute to see if he was coming in and then turned around and took 5 steps at the max when I heard blood curling screams. When I turned around 7 dogs were surrounding him and the 2 puppies were attacking him, I ran out the door hoping to scare them off and when I reached them the female had him by the hand. I went to knock her off when she lunged at me and knocked me to the ground and both puppies attacked. I have been very insistent that I want both dogs put down after their quareentine period. Several people have told me that this is not fair, they should be rehomed. I just don't think this is right, what if they do this to the next person. I own 2 yorkies, a Brittany Spaniel and at the time of the incident a pittbull (not from the same litter). When I was on the ground I saw my pitt growling and barking (not sure at who or what) and at that split moment I realized I could not trust him to not join in. I have since found him a good home with a person who has had pitts all of his life and am certain he is in a good home. So my question is: What is your opinion, am I being unfair to ask that these dogs be put down? According to animal control the dogs can be freed after 10 days. I should add that my neighbors have treated these animals very well and have a few other dogs, I have been in the house with these dogs, I have loved them and so has my son. Not 10 minutes before the attack he was loving on them, I just do not understand why they did what they did, but I can assure you my son will never forget and neither will I. My fear is that I am to emotional to make this decision and the neighbors have left it up to me so please give me some feedback and tell me what you think we have until the 22nd to make our decision. I attached some pics so you can see the nature of the bites. Please help me make the right decision not only for my son and I, but for these pups.
