Pit Bull's Vicious Attack on Infant and Mother
To farther protect the child, the mother put the baby in a near by trash can and used her body moving from side to side to block off the charging dog, who was after her little baby. In an attempt to get the infant, the vicious dog bit the mother over and over again on the arms. Through pain and bites the brave and courageous mother fought to protect her child.
She never gave up. In the struggle, the trash can, was knocked over and the little baby rolled out. Like a true mother trying to protect her child, this mother was only thinking about the safety of her baby, when she threw herself on top of the infant, while she received more painful bites from the dangerous and vicious dog.
Two men, working near by, heard the screams and grabbed heavy working tools and ran to assist the screaming mother. Then, they saw the pit bull, its mouth covered with blood. Blows from the men's heavy tools stopped the dog attack and the dog ran off.
Thanks to God, the two men and the very brave mother, the infant is fine and unharmed and had a beautiful smile when shown on TV news. At the hospital, the mother received approximately 50 staples and countless stitches.
The pit bull attacked before and was returned to the owner. The owner and his girlfriend could now face charges, if they don't turn the dog over to the authorities. According to the news, the owner refuses to hand the dog over. The owner said he doesn't know where the dog is. He claims the dog left.
The question has been raised, are pit bulls naturally vicious and mean dogs, or does it depend on how the owner trains the dog? Can it be a combination of both? Can it be that some pit bulls are just vicious by nature; and some are trained to be attack dogs by the owner?

Post a CommentNever claimed to be an expert on pits, hun! In fact I'm still receiving quite the education.... lol
I apologize too. This is what happens when I go on the Internet without having had my coffee ;)
I am so sorry Karla Chapman, I apologize, the first part of your comment, that I actually responded to, was accidently deleted. The first part where you stated that I should have listed my article as: opinion and editorial and you made some other interesting remarks. I meant to click on your photo so I could go to your page and read some of your work. I must have accidently clicked the "X". I apologize. I thought your comment was very interesting.
You are not considered an expert on pit bulls if you only got one two weeks ago. I suggest you do a lot of research on pit bulls. Obviously I've touched a nerve with you because you are the owner of a pit bull. Make sure you do your research and learn how to raise your dog. No, I did not need to do any research to report on one incident that happened with one pit bull. Again, I suggest you read my article, I was not writing an article on how to raise a pit bull or the history of pit bulls. To answer one of your questions. If you look at the top of my article, I DID come out and state it as: OPINION AND EDITORIAL. Before you attack me; you should read the article. I don't see you as an expert on pit bulls. I suggest you do some serious research now that you are an owner of this dog.
(Cont from last) My neighbor's pit -- getting to be mean as hell -- she leaves him tied up all day long, which would make ANY dog friggin bipolar.... and hence prone to attack. My pit -- sweet and goofy -- because I tend to her needs, spoil her rotten, and make sure she gets at least 45 minutes of the exercise she needs to keep her mellow and tame. To answer the question at the conclusion of the article its ALL in the raising, and if you don't know how to raise the dog, maybe you shouldn't have one, just my two cents. Peace!
Hello again Karla Chapman, I am not logged in that is why, I am shown as a guest.
Hello Chapman,
Thanks for your comment. Research is not needed here. Never once did I report that all pit bulls run around biting babies. The fact is this infant was attacked by a vicious pit bull.
Hate to tell you this bit of news, however, my best friend was attacked and bitten on the upper legs by a very sweet pit bull. He knew the pit bull for over three years. No one knew what triggered the attack, as the gentlemen walked past the dog as he did many, many, times before., the pit bull grabbed hold off his upper leg and it was hard to get the dog to release the man from the bite, it took the owner and three other men to free their friend from the pit bull. I'm still not saying that all pit bulls will attack. Maybe, you should do some research. I know there are bad dog owners and there are responsible dog owners. I never once said that all dog owners are not responsible people.
im sorry that happen my pit obeys me i would have help if I could
What a loving and courageous mother! I just don't think people should have pit bulls as pets, if there is any chance they will attack. It's too late when it's over. Great reporting!
Your question about pit bulls is a difficult one to answer. I am no expert on the breed but one person who does breed them told me he has seen generations of pit bulls who were bred for fighting tendencies while the more docile and kind ones were given away or even killed, as horrifying as that is.
In short, I do believe you can breed for certain traits. On the other hand, many pit bulls are non-aggressive. There have been reports of pit bulls treated kindly who have attacked their owners without reason. THe person I know had this happen with one of his dogs but it was a rare occurance. However, it only takes one time to result in serious injury.
I have known many kind pit bulls. I have also known aggressive golden retrievers, a breed NOT known for being aggressive. Any dog can be bred or trained for certain traits, I think.
I hope others weigh in on this topic, great article for getting someone to think about this! In the end, is it the breed or the people to blame?
