I can just see ignorant people falling in love with this show and deciding they want to breed them.:( Or people rushing out to buy them from anyone because they see how well tempered the dogs on the show will be. (Overpopulation of dalmations and 101 dalamations type thing.) |

After seeing that movie when I was a kid, I really wanted one and we got one. Of course my parents didn't research or know anything about them. He was really really hyper and my parents didn't take the time to train him or anything, my dad just took him one day and brought him to the shelter :( I think thats why it's hard for me to give up an animal, probably why I have so many lol When I was younger my dad got rid of my dalmantion and got rid of 3 cats I had. Still haunted by the time he took my one cat and left him on the side of the road when I was about 8 or so :(:( when we got home and my mom came home from work and I told her she went out looking for him but we never found him. |

Well, the DA is going to bring charges up against the step grand father in this case and they haven't decided what to charge him with yet. I say animal cruelty and manslaughter. His dogs killed the families chihuahua the year before, he knew these dogs were dangerous that is why he had them pad locked in a garage!! You see the dogs kill your other pet and you let them be in the same house as your toddler grandson??? The father & grandmother should feel guilty too. I don't care about adults owning pits, they know the risks and if the dog eats their face off, I don't care there is informed consent. But a small child can not consent to anything. That little boy died because of ignorant and irresponsible adults. RIP sweet baby boy. |

I found the whole story very sad, was nearly in tears until the very end where they stated that the grandfather thought he should have to pay fines, but shouldn't serve any jail time :eek: That's the new thing in America when things like this happen or children are left in hot cars. Oh, they have suffered enough and shouldn't have to face jail time. There is NO reason this should have ever happened. That is a horrifying death of a tiny child. I would think my last concern would be if I were going to jail. |

No this should not have happened and I am sure the Grandfather would love HIS grandbaby back and wishes he done different. Dogs that are dog aggressive are not usually human aggressive as well but can be and just cause it killed the family chi does not mean it would have been an indication that the dog would go after a child. The pad lock could have been so that others did not steal the family dogs and take them for fighting dogs. There are many sides to this and we do not get to see them all. A Child and a Dog are dead cause adult humans failed them but accidents happen. I grieve for their lose and will let the state decide the adults fate and I am sure that grandfather is suffering a great deal No one non of us unless we are psychotic do not grieve and have regrets after an event like this.

Also, "lock jaw" is NOT true. That IS a myth. You are correct and I should have stated it more clearly instead of perpetuating a myth. They don't mechanically 'lock'. But they are able to 'lock on' by their sheer will, massive jaw/head size and undeniable strength. That is why it is so difficult to get them pulled off their prey once they have ''locked on'' for lack of better terminology. Can't deny that compared to most other breeds they have those three items going for them. One of my 'kids' locks onto a bird and I scream and lunge at her, her will, strength, head/jaw size, is gonna translate into a pee puddle on the linoleum, and a loose bird. I'm not saying pitbulls are the only breed with this capability. But they are pretty good at it. |
