Lounge / My Son and Dog were attacked by a Pit Bull this AM
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.
