Lounge / My Son and Dog were attacked by a Pit Bull this AM
Hi there,

New to the forum and this caught my eye.  Glad child and dog are OK, traumatic events like this can be particularly hard on children.  I went on 13 separate dog bite/attack calls when I was a firefighter and all but one was either a pit or pit mix.  The one exception was a German Shepard.  It really bothers me when I see people try and excuse or marginalize certain breeds behaviors such as the Pit.  I know any dog can get out of control but it sure seems certain breeds have a propensity for it.  I'm also glad it was only a rough greeting by an overly excited dog who didn't know it's own strength.  Things could definitely have turned out different and worse.

Though I generally don't sway towards litigation to solve problems, when an irresponsible owner such as this lady act in the manner she did, perhaps it's the best course.
