| It was horrible! My hubby and I have a little 6 pound yorkie (Brownie) who is our world. If something that horrific happened right in front of us... I don't know what I would do. |

I agree with you. My fiance has raised 2 pitbulls and they LOVE my 2 yorkies. My babies wil bite their tails, bite their lips, etc and Rain and Rocco (Pits) just lay there and let them do whatever they want. They sleep together, eat together, everything. My Roxy (yorkie) had her first litter of pups that are now 8 weeks and its the same thing with them too. I really think that no matter what breed or size its all in how you raise your dogs. If you get them used to other dogs and people since they are small then they usually turn out pretty good. I feel for DOT though and hope he gets better

| Looks like the horror stories on Pit Bull has been growing and growing till now. I thought this horror will end since the Fablish incident. And wikipedia has stories on Pit Bulls and BSL is now hunting down Pit Bulls. I love dogs, as they are useful on helping people, guide dogs, police dogs and worker dogs. But I am still having a paranoia on Pit bulls and Dobermans (Cerberus) There are many sad stories on Pit Bulls, go to news search and find them all, the possibilities are endless. |

| This is a breed that should not be allowed in the general public. Their track record is horrible and it's attacks of this nature that I believe substanciate why. I never take my baby for walks on a daily routine and I'm so fortunate to have a fenced yard that she can run and play in. I just feel terrible for your poor baby and pray that time will heal the wounds and hopefully, it's mental state. This is so unfortunate and never, ever should have happened.

| I am in England and 2 years ago a English bull terrier broke into our back garden.At the time my daughter was visiting so we had 2 collies and a cross breed running round the garden.My yorkie baby was asleep upstairs.The bull terrier chashed them in the house and attacked them in the living room.Both our collies were bitten and to get it to let go of the other dog my husband knocked it out.We got the dogs out but unfortunatly my yorkie came wandering down just as the bull terrier came round.The result of this was my baby lost an eye.She was 17 years old at the time but we were blessed with her company for another two years.It took us a long time to recover from this awful event especially as it was in our own home were we should have been safe.The bull terrier came from 2 houses away and lived with 3 small chidren.We dont know why it turned like it did but the owners saw reason and put the dog to sleep. We now have Ellie,5 months old and full of fun. midnightmist |

| I too had a furbaby (Maltese) killed by a pit bull mix. My teenage children let my furbabies out and did not realize one escaped when they were letting them in. The pit bull was also running loose. I felt we were both at fault and did not pursue any legal action. It was the most awful site to see. My beautiful white baby covered in blood. One bite and the pit bull pulled her insides out. That is the problem with big dogs. Yes, little ones can bite but will not cause near the damage a big dog can. I have been in the insurance industry for 10 years. I have seen a lot of dog claims. One lady had a rottwiler.(sorry, I am sure I spelled that wrong) She raised it from a puppy. It grew up with her granddaughter. The most loving dog you had ever seen. One day, out of the blue, it grabbed the granddaughters(she was 4 years old) head. Ripped her head open from the corner of her eye to 3/4 around her head. The granddaughter has had to have 4 surgeries, last I new. So even the best family dog can snap. But if that had been a 5 pound Yorkie that snapped, how much damage could it have done? Not much. |

| I sympathize with Dot, how horrible for that to have happened. However... I am opposing BSL, Pitt Bulls DO have a bad track record. Because the media makes it that way. You never hear about Lab or cocker spaniel attacks because everyone seems to always think its an isolated incident. Cockers are the #1 biting dog in America, ask any mail carrier or vet. Any dog that is over bred for popularity faces the risk of falling into the wrong hands. I read not to long ago of a dauchsund that ripped through a play pen and KILLED an infant. It goes to show any pet can be fatal. Not just "bad dogs". I own a Rottweiler, Bruno is an angel with my yorkies, they put their heads in his mouth! He could punture their bodies in a head jerk. He is also a "bad dog". It is the owners responsibility to properly restrain the dog and prevent things like this from happening. It starts with humans not dogs. Punish the breed not the deed. Here is a list of potentialy dangerous dogs: * Llasa Apso: can be cranky with kids * Toy poodles: bite out of self defense * Dachsunds: not very patient * Rhodesian Ridgebacks: very dominant breed * Miniature Pinschers: "big dog" mindset in little body * Pekinese: intolerant * Chihuahuas: prefer adults, not tolerant of kids * Chow Chow: one-person dogs, bite without warning * Giant Schnauzers: very dominant breed, will even challenge adults * Old English Sheep Dog: very protective of owner * Cocker Spaniel: very protective of owner * Rottweilers: very protective I pulled it from this web site, which has lots of informative information.

| That is awful. I had to pull my 1st yorkie out of a wolf sheperd mix once grabbed that sucker by the ears and pulled them back so hard he dropped my yorkie in a second my husband grabbed our yorkie and jumped out of the way that mix turned around and bit me in the Axx. I had to go to the hospital and my yorkie to the vet Thank God she was saved and I just had one sore AXX. Couldn't sit down for a while I think I took longer to heal then my yorkie, but if I wouldn't of grabbed that dog by the ears he would of killed my yorkie. |

I agree with you, I also appose the BSL. It's a bunch of BS for the government to get more money. It's so sad how certain breeds have such bad reps because of how they are raised by people. Then everyone else is so quick to judge them. ANY dog can be dangerous. I wish more people would realize this.

| I definately agree that they should be put down and owners NEED to pay the vet bills. I haven't even brought my puppy home from the breeder's yet and already love her so much. I would die if something like this ever happened to my baby, my heart really goes out to Dot and her owner I used to own a pit/terrier mix and it took some diligent training to socialize her with other dogs, even though she was a giant sweetheart by herself. It takes a very responsible person to own an agressive breed dog and this owner was obviously ignorant of their responsibilities as a pit owner. The pits alone can't take the blame for this, this is hugely due to the owner's lack of training and care to muzzle them. |

| This kind of stories are hit me so hard when I read them! Looks like we have ourselves another little fighter. I still remember the ungodly cries when Gus was being attacked. I will never get that sound out of my head. But my poor daughter seen everything while it was happening. I thank God everyday that my little guy made it when even the vet's were saying it didn't look too good of him even surviving the night. Well survive he did! In our case it was a German Shepherd and I did press charges. They got fined, and had to pay all vet fees. And it was the dogs 1st strike. The owners did fix all repairs to the yard but the girl was a jumper and a digger and would find a new way of getting out everytime. It was a few month later when she got out again and killed a puppy who was playing with in my neighbors yard with human sibs. And they did come out and take the dog and had no choice but to put it down. I really don't trust any big dog around my Gus. He is just was too small and can get hurt by the big dog by playing too rough.
