My thoughts are this there are so many wonderful homeless animals in the nation that we have to put to sleep everyday,why own a vicious dog, these dogs attacked once they will do it again maybe next time a small child and maybe they wont be so lucky! I have seen children and adults loose their lives over attacks such as this, I feel the dogs need to be put down, you are not selfish by feeling that, but you are lucky with the amount of dogs there that you weren't hurt worse than that. You also have to look at the owner should people like this be allowed to raise such dangerous animals, animals like this take alot of time and effort in raising in a positive manner, most people dont have that kind of time, you should make sure that an Officer comes out to where the dogs live, make sure that the confinement is adequate, so the dogs dont get out again, if you see them out dont go outside call the humane society the more complaints the easier it will be to take the dogs from an irresponsible owner, Good Luck!

I am shocked by some post on this topic but not really. I believe all dogs have a right to a second chance. Who are we to not grant a second chance when we've all at least once been given a second chance. I am especially upset what the fact that in your post you would say that there are a lot of good dogs in pounds so we should kill the bad. If only we could apply that to humans... I am sickened that you think that way. I hope these dogs find themselves in a home that can provide the love and training they need.
Also for the person who posted the muzzled dog. Why don't you show the death rate from other dogs and make your findings more legit.
For the original poster I am sorry you and your son had to go through this. I am glad you found a home for your dog.
