| Any time we walk my 2 dogs, we pick em up any time we walk past bigger dog. I'm too paranoid and dont wanna see anything like that.

| Poor Dot and her mommy.. that must have been so horrible but it looks like they are both doing better. As far as the pits, it wasn't their faults. Pitbulls make some of the very best pets and are only 'capable' of such brutality. Remember to judge the DEED not the BREED because it was the owners who are at fault. No dog is born this way, they are raised that way.

| I hope the woman sues the pants off the owners. These types of dogs are dangerous. They should be required to be enclosed properly and muzzled while in public places. If a dog like this attacks the first time, it should be destroyed. Because it will do it again and the next time it could be a child it attacks. I have seen first hand what these dogs can do. I also had a friend attacked by a pit/mix while walking her grand baby in the park. The couple next door who has 2 small kids are talking about getting a pit. I told him these dogs are a time bomb waiting to go off. They won't insure you here if you own one of these dogs either. If he get one of these dogs he had better keep it pinned up....away from my yard and my Yorkies. Or he will have a dead dog. |

| It's definately not fair to judge the pitbull breed like this. Not in any way is this the fault of the pits. The fault soley lies in the hands of the horrible owners who probably purposefully invoke this behavior. Pits are NOT natuarally aggressive dogs. Just like no dog is. You only hear horror stories like these about pits because of the bad rap they get. We have 8 pit mix puppies where I work that were dumped in a garbage bag and tossed into a dumpster at 5 days old. We've had them and been raising them for the past 5-6 months and they don't have a mean bone in their body. And that's because how they were raised with kindess, vigrorous training, and patience. It's never the dog, only the owner.

| The same thing happened to a neighbor's yorkie just the other day. He was attacked by a pit bull and he ended up in the hospital. It's just horrifying to think about these kind of attacks. I'm sorry, but I for one believe that all pit bulls are potentially dangerous. You never hear about a collie or a shepherd or a similar dog doing something like this. I think all pit bulls should be muzzled whenever they're outside. Individual pits may possibly be nice, but it's too much of a risk. |

| I think your Dot is adorable and it makes me so sad to think of what she went through that day.....I do not like pit bulls and I don't think they can be trusted...I just heard on the news last week that a pit bull turned on it's owner and she had to be hospitalized....and this happened in my hometown. I wish Dot a fast recovery

| There is a boy who walks his pit down our road, and every time he would come by, my girls would bark and he would start pulling the boy towards our back yard. He wasn't growling, but he was showing agressive signs, hair standing, tail erect, etc. I was mowing the yard and walked to the edge where he was trying to get control of the dog. He was literally being dragged. We live behind our police chief, so I complained, and I told him if that dog shows agressive signs towards me, my girls or my kids...I would not hesitate to shoot it. I am talking a boy that probably weighs, 170, 180, and couldn't hold him. He uses a chain to walk him. I guess the Chief warned him, b/c he hasn't been back by our place. Don't get me wrong, 2 of my best friends own Pit Bulls, but we don't have playdates, just for the reasons of...You never know. Several years back a lady was walking her poodle down town and there used to be a service station, the guy had pits as guard dogs, anyhow, she was walking and 2 of the pits Broke their chains and literally destroyed her dog, that is nicely putting it. They were put down, I man, what if it had been a baby walking with her??? It is the same at my place, I teach my girls NEVER pet a dog unles I am there, and we ask first, but sometimes the kindest dog can have a bad day. I won't take my chances, on any dog, small or large. We keep the girls on short leashes b/c Lola, our Chihuahua, has been know to think she is a Rottie, so we steer clear of big dog houses . Any dog can be agressive, from a Pit to a Lab...could be genetic, could be a bad day...we with little babies should always be prepared. I carry mase, not only for myself, but to ward off dogs. Sticks just don't cut it sometimes. Thankfully, the Pit hasn't been back by. Hopefully he doesn't, cause I just don't trust him

| WOW.... I cant believe she survived. How terrible that must have been for both Dot and her owner. The sad truth is although they both will probably heal. They will both be scarred for life over this. I'm sure that little Dot will never be the same. I would think this attack would make her scared and timid after all she went through. This is just heart breaking. I dont really understand the need for people to own these dogs. A guy at my hubbys works just got one and he has a 2 yr old kid. My hubby told him how stupid he was to bring a bomb like this into the house. He said that this is just what this dog is. A bomb waiting to explode and you will never forgive yourself when its on your baby. He hasnt talked to my hubby since. Its terrible. These poor dogs have been raised and imbred so much that I'm sure its totally change the breed into a bad one. |
