Ohio baby killed by own dog

[Street Juice]

Was it worth their lives?
Lucky it was my dog and not me that saw them. Muzzie boy.
That dog was a good hog dog. I think Dixie might have been his mom, she was, too.
One day him and Dixie and this other dog got onto this uh..
yearling boar, well they got him. Friend's brother had to butcher it that night.
It even took them under water. Oh! that's when we had to kill it.
Slit its throat. Dogs had it every which way. It was gonna drown Dixie.
Nobody wanted that hog to die that day, but it happened.

Hog dog? What's that? Like a beefalo?

3-4 hog dogs could take down a beefalo.
Matter of fact I got that dog cuz he killed a cow.
Oh, these were pitbull hog dogs.
There's uh..some girl hog hunter with videos, but idk how many pits she uses, if any.
She thins 'em on peoples' property n stuff. A necessary thing in quite a few places.

According to the article in the link..........nobody knows what happened or which dog 'MAY' be guilty or why. Without that information, it's hard to make a true assessment of the situation.


The exact circumstances of the fatal incident were unclear.....

No other details were made public. It’s unclear which of the family’s three dogs bit the child.



Any breed dog can become aggressive and bite, and often with more than one dog, pack mentality kicks in. Then there is always that one bad apple......in any breed.

Pits get a bad reputation, usually because of their owners......but they are also becoming 'old news' in favor of even more powerful, aggressive and more difficult to train breeds such as Cane Corso, Dogo Argentina and a few others. Dumb ass people get these dogs with no idea of what they're like except they are big, bad, tough looking dogs......and that's a shame for those dogs.


I used to be afraid of owning a pit as well just because of all the bad stories........then we got 2. But not until after I had done some research and understood more about the breed. Ours are treated like family, no abuse and no aggressive training........because dogs will always protect their 'pack'......so no outside input necessary. They are never left alone with someone outside of the immediate family

To me, this is why it pays to not have this kind of pet in the first place.

God bless you always!!!

There are three breeds I wouldn't have around children.

Pitbulls
Rottweilers
Doberman

But, that's just me.

Surprised not to see Lefty Mutants in your list of dangerous animals .

Ohio baby killed by family pit bull as grieving mother laments: ‘I will never understand why’

An Ohio family is reeling after their 7-month-old daughter was killed by one of the family’s three pit bulls Wednesday.

Why would anyone want pitbull as pet . These demon dogs seem to go nuts and only a gun can stop them

Horrible story that never should have happened

Nope. No to this breed, and I don't care what anyone says. Yeah, they're gentle and would never hurt anyone until that switch flips. Then they will go after you until they kill you.

No.

A Dobie was our babysitter when we were kids.
like..probably 8 of us from 2-10 or so, 3 families, the dog would keep us out the road
and watch over us.
In another household after I was grown, a pitbull was the house police, watching after the kids.
If something was wrong, she'd bark.
I mean some dogs are just bad of any breed. A lot is how you treat and train them.
Not everything, some are just born shitheads. It happens.

No, they're just a terrible breed. Terrible.

The breed that commits the most attacks overall is pit bulls.​

Pit bulls are involved in more dog attacks than any other breed. In fact, the American Animal Hospital Association reports this breed was responsible for 22.5% of bites across all studies. Mixed breeds were a close second at 21.2% and German Shepherds were the third most dangerous breed, involved in 17.8% of bite incidents.⁶

The breed that is most likely to be involved in a fatal attack is pit bulls.​

Pit bulls are both more likely to be involved in bite incidents and more likely to cause serious injury or death when a bite does occur. In fact, from 1979 to 1998, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined pit bulls were involved in the most fatal dog attacks, accounting for 28% deaths due to dog bites during that same time period.⁷

Pit bulls may present a greater danger than other breeds for many reasons, such as because they have been bred to be more aggressive, are less likely to back down during fights and are less likely to give a warning before a bite.

Yep.

People have to make their own decisions and live with them

This family will forever question their decision to have that dog around their baby.

Sad.

All pit owners say the same damn thing. Oh it's not the breed, it's the training. And then when things like this happen, they say, oh how did this happen? He was always so gentle.....

Sure. They flip a switch and then they kill you.

That may be true, but I've never heard of a Labrador killing a human.

Depends on how they are trained. My labs were hunting dogs. It's what they are trained for, believe me when I say my dogs did what I told them. If I gave the command to retrieve a duck or a goose came back. If I gave the command to attack. They attacked. I bread and trained black labs for years. They were bread as working dogs. All but one was effective as both a working dog and a family dog. I couldn't have him around people other than myself. He stayed in his kennel till it was time to work. Labs can be dangerous. I couldn't have him around other dogs either.

I agree for the most part.

You can make any dog mean. But, can you make any dog kill??

I don't know??

I do know that Pitbulls were bred/created for blood sports.

They are responsible for more human and canine death and trauma than all other breeds combined.

Exactly. I had a chow/pit mix I could not let around any other dogs. He was pugilistic.
He was a good dog, but not social with other dogs.
Now my shortfat black pit, he was funny. He never would hurt a fly, but would fight if something attacked him or me.
Oh, but he killed my neighbor's cat. Yeah, that was jealousy. Sad.
Only thing he ever did that I think was bad.
He was good around kids ,and these other 2 little dogs would come over to ask if he could play, and I would let them. They had a fun time. He was a great dog, and sired many offspring.
In the house with the house police pitbull, he'd let the 2 little kids ride him and love it.
Pretty sure he a litter with that girl. He didn't miss much if it was around. Within a circular mile.

Any dog can be trained to bite. Takes jaw pressure to kill. So yes size and strength is a factor.

Willingness to kill is, too.

I have never owned a pitbull but had friends that had them. The friends that had them knew dogs and how to train them. Never heard of any of them getting in trouble. That being said just like in humans there can be that anomaly where they got the psycho jean. The pits I have known were very loving. I have only trained labs and coon dogs myself.

 

[Zincwarrior]

The problem isn't so much the Pitbull's, but rather the owners. In this case, witnesses have said that they had seen the owner being somewhat abusive to the dog and training it to be aggressive. The owner is a thin guy with lots of tats and no doubt wants to come across as tough and uses the dog to add to it.

A really hot girl gave me a newborn lab puppy. Turns out he was a full blood American pit and a big one.

If you raise em like labs they are just like olympic gum versions of labs. People raise them mean.

I gave never been bit so much as with this old poodle. The face of EVILZ!

 

[SweetSue92]

Even the owner ???

Yes. A few years ago a woman owned a few pits, took them walking, and they mauled and ate her. ATE her. She said they were 'gentle'....until they're not.

Lol, ya wouldn't know it by just looking. Dementia can happen in dogs. I have heard of similar situations with old poodles.Had a friend that had an old grey hound got mean when he was old. Vet said dementia. As we don't fully understand dementia may have been a guess but an educated one.
