We have lost *1 Family Member, My Son’s God Father and My Best Friend, My Nieces Left Arm and My Nephew who is a Police Officer is still going thru Facial Surgeries from PIT BULLS that were all adopted when they were Puppies in the last *4 Years. I am a Service Dog Trainor and Rescue German Shepherds. MY Friends that are Veterinarians all agree. The PIT BULL has a Trigger and NOBODY knows what the Trigger is for each PIT. My Brother-in-Law was having Heart Attack in his in an easy chair at home and he was on the phone with 911 when his PIT BULL that he raised from a Pup that had been thru OBEDIENCE Training who was 2 Years old ATTACKED Him and Killed Him while he was incapacitated. The PIT took advantage of his weakness. There was a PIT BULL attack in Oklahoma City of a Fellow Trainor that I knew. She was walking thru the City in Daylight with a Golden Retriever that she was Training and her PIT BULL that she had gotten when it was a Pup. Suddenly the PIT ATTACKED the Golden Retriever and when She tried to separate the two Dogs the PIT turned and Killed this Woman in front of a crowd and the only thing to stop the Pit was a Police Officer shooting the PIT. That is why it is against the Law in Oklahoma City to own a PIT Bull. Now the Home Insurance companies are even cancelling policies for Pit Owners.
Horrific absolutely horrific
Pit bulls should be illegal
People can say it has NOTHING to do with the breed all they want…. it’s not the case.
@Dylan you don’t have any stats and you’re a woos, you scared of those little dogs? LOL
@truthseekers see: example of a typical pit bull owner
@Zig Wil No troll boy I breed Great Dane/English Mastiffs for more than 20 years. Like as old as you are but not your troll account. Pitbulls are little dogs you trip over. TROLL

@Dylan no one cares about your troll opinion and ignorance
@Zig Wil lol! I don’t know if that’s more funny or more worrying.
I don’t care how it’s the owners fault these pit bulls are vicious, they’re sweet with their family or any other excuse, the breed is just damned vicious and unpredictably and there should be banned everywhere.
wrong, ignorant
No it’s literally the owners fault. It’s not unpredictable, the owners just didn’t care enough to take control of the dog before it was full grown. Banning animals for acting like animals is the most insane concept. You’re either 70, or 12. But I can’t figure out which.
@AmandaJoz13 why 70? They KNOW better. Having 70 years of EXPERIENCE.
@AmandaJoz13 and you’re blind and blissfully in denial. Say these are incredibly docile (which is so far from the truth) and all these thousands of incidents were perpetrated by improperly trained dogs, never mind the cause and fault, PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING ATTACKED! If owners are doing this than they should ban the breed. Every dog not available to mis-train is one less dog attacking someone.
@AmandaJoz13 if we want to explain it away as animals acting like animals, do we keep wolves or alligators, or shark as pets? And if we did, if those animals attack someone can we say oh it’s just wild animals acting like wild animals? Can’t blame them, lets blame the owners There are reasons why those animals are not permitted in much of the country and Canada, and the same ban should be on pitbulls.
Thank You !
dont blame the breed, blame the moronic trash breeding them
That why we need animal control in every state all over the country my neighbors dogs run loose and try to attack us every time we go to our mailbox law enforcement does nothing
WASP spray shoots 30 feet, once should do it
Need to hold the owner accountable. That’s what judge Judy always says .
@David Bullis They all do. Wasn’t meant to be funny. Seen cases alot people dogs attacks. On Judge Judy. Owners always pay the price. It’s the law. And good one.
@Michael T I haven’t seen that show for years. I didn’t mean to make light of a tragic and senseless situation. However, just reading ” judge Judy” did bring on the funnies for me .
@David Bullis Thanks David, I’m sure you wasn’t. Just replied back to you. Thanks.
@Michael T I am a retired letter carrier, I have had my share of bad dog days. It’s always the negligent owners who just don’t give a 💩 . I hope they throw the book at them.
@David Bullis Thanks for your very hard work ,and I’m sure you of people know about dogs. I HOPE THEY DO TO. THANKS MR BULLIS.
People need to be put away for making dogs like this. It’s just one more weapon, a vicious dog is just like a gun.
No, a vicious dog is even more dangerous than a gun because the dog can decide on its own to attack you.
That’s why u don’t put Wolf in your house
wasn’t a wolf
Just make aggressive dogs part of lunch.
The owner needs to be charged of murder
You all should be ashamed of making jokes out of 80 year old man being mauled what did you expect to see when you chose the caption you all need mental treatment for carelessness of others around you
When I lived in Albuquerque 25 years ago there was a steadily rising rate of dog attacks as gang members and wannabes began having pit bulls that they had neither the skill or interest in training. At least once or twice a month there would be a REPORTED story of a pit bull attack (you can bet there were many more that went unreported). I remember one incident where the victim was a little girls whose face was mauled. I don’t know what the current situation is in Albuquerque, but given the rise in in gang violence there I’m guessing dog attacks are ongoing.
I just feel bad that like four or five different breeds of dogs get called pitbulls. And that just a terrible, terrible segment of the population latched onto them. It’s like every want to be gangbanger in the ’80s wanted a German shepherd then it was Rottweilers. Hopefully they’ll be done with the pit balls soon
uh oh here comes the “it’s the owner” crowd
If the owner of the dogs own anything sue and take all that they have.
I get it though all those sad stories of how badly your mom a dad didn’t show you enough attention you have to get it from others anyway you can stories aren’t working anymore wait until you see how the worlds going to treat you
Pits taught to fight. Or attack!
I don’t recall there being any mention of an owner for those dogs. How big were those pit bulls? I have never seen a pit bull big enough to drag a man.
Pit bulls are very strong and elderly men are fragile
2 Pitt Bulls can drag a elderly man, easily.
Guess you don’t know much about Pitbulls, they are certainly strong enough to drag a man
So so sad 😞
All pitbulls should be put down .the owner should be charged with murder……
If these dogs belong to someone else, that owner needs to be arrested. Start arresting these owners for not properly securing and training their dogs and I bet you see incidents start going down.
There are good dogs, and then there are BAD dogs.
NO, there are good dogs made bad by bad people.
No you wrong animal fellow Their natur
Animal, so when a bear (animal) mauls a human being to death, it’s the humans fault.
All dogs are good, like all humans are good, like all mushrooms are good to eat 😂😂
Kids who lie and get their haircut to look ‘normal’ are not supposed to because they could have Microcephaly that is a diagnosis like Down Syndrome signs that they have microcephaly is their physical features the person has an extremely small, INFANT size head on an extremely large or longer body and people with smaller bodies signs if they could be microcephaly, they have an extremely tiny, infant size head on a small body. Satanic people are like the horror movie Halloween with Michael Meyers, Don’t watch it without a good adult present 🎁, that’s forever! Satan has Risen and wants to Steal your life.
Where’s the rest of the story?
Pitbull I’m sure
Put the owner of the dog in prison for life or the death penalty for raising fighting pitbulls I feel sorry for the dogs they didn’t ask to be trained as fighter killers the ignorant people that have them and what do you want to bet it’s a black person that has the dog
Put the owners in jail. Make an example.
Some people don’t need pets or kids.
Didn’t he get fired for eating Sushi off some woman’s stomach during the pandemic. He should’ve been fired immediately liberals including this sorry mayor that runs San Antonio are super corrupt. He should of been fired regardless if he’s on private time it’s utterly disgusting 🤮
If you call animal control they will route you to the police non emergency line. The police will show up and tell you there is nothing they can do about a loose dog and to call animal control……..and they will route you to the non emergency police line. The police will show up and tell you that there is nothing they can do about a loose dog and to call Animal Control…
Horrid just horrid, this was murder this isn’t a first time about these dogs put them down and put the owner down also
How did I know it would be pit bulls? Ban breeding them. Problem solved. But I know I know it wasn’t the dog it was the owner.
Keep hearing it over and over.
Pit bulls are just fine until they see another pit bull.
“Among the findings is that the firearm homicide rate in the U.S. was 22 times larger than in the European Union as a whole.” 7 of the top 7 states with the highest homicide mortality rate? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina and Tennessee.
If some one was packing here, they could have shot this animal, perhaps before life was lost. That’s the only connection between your select “facts” and this story.
Care to break this down into individual cities and their political leanings as well as the demographic committing these murders?
Also, imagine if you took the gun away from the 3 women in these vids then tell me what the likely outcome would be, ( I’m betting you won’t ) Also note that in each instance, the intruder DID NOT HAVE A GUN.

” ‘She’s pretty shaken up’: Louisiana mother shoots intruder to death ” on the channel ” NBC News “
facts: that may very well be true, but please explain what it has to do with the dog attack that killed an elderly person. Isn’t your comment for a different conversation?
@Carol Hill facts has no life outside pandering political division. Can’t tell the difference between states and cities. Someone else pointed this out but it’s not showing in the running thread.
Sue the Owners
Another one ” 4 pit bulls maul Baytown man as city sees increase in ‘irresponsible pet ownership’ ” on the channel ” KPRC 2 Click2Houston “
‘
*Carry a Gun because these stupid dog owners don’t care*
The dogs should be euthanized and the owner (s) should be charged, arrested, booked, fined, charged, convicted, and sued out of the neighborhood.
Cats are better pets.
effen pit bulls, imprison their human owners, all of them.
The owners of those dogs should be charged with murder for their failure to control dangerous animals…
4 pitt bulls in Houstons yesterday attacked and mauled a man, what is going on????????
It’s called life. You think multiple dogs attacking people is a conspiracy? Or all the dogs decided to hold a pow-wow and rage out against humans?
What is going on is that people are getting more stupid as the years progress. We are facing a country full of people who have no idea what it means to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for what they decide to do: be it drive to the market, keep dogs, cough on others when they’re sick. The list is long. And willful ignorance is coming to be admired.
It’s owners fault I have a very mean dog like to bite ppl other animals never do I let him out by himself he’s always on a leash never let anyone in home I’ve had him for 10 years now and I’ve put alot of time work just taking steps he can never hurt anyone now someone breaks in the house it’s on them
It sounds pretty bad Ernest. He goes berserk one day you’re at work, and blasts through the window to attack kids on bikes? Maybe he’s suffering from migraines or rotted teeth, serious brain damage. Please be careful. One day it could be you in the attack zone. I am serious. It might not be worth it. A ten year old dog can get dementia as well. This animal is literally a time bomb, you’re living with.
This country is a joke owner should be charged with murder period smh
They better euthanize those dogs that should be the law 1 the owners will get charged for not controlling there dogs and resulting in serious injury and death and 2 the dogs must euthanized if i were the fire figrhers i would shot the dogs then helped
sick nation mind, body, spirit….powerless, lonely, no meaning ….obsessed with pets
The dog owner needs to pay.
Pit Bulls belong in the wild with the bears,lions & tigers.
Have a history of mauling infants.
and this is why we should ban dogs in america.. obviously these ‘assault’ dogs are too dangerous.. /j /s
Let-me guess Pit bull or Cane Corso
🙏🏻
You never go to a dog fight without a gun tranquilizer. Those dogs should have been shot right then.
One more reason to carry a gun
This is horrible.My two dogs,a eleven years old Beagle and my Papillon have two pit bulls as friends.People make these dogs visious .
Absolutely….my Yorkie and 3 shih tzus live and play together 6 months a year …it’s the owner’s responsibility to teach them love and not make them mean
https://youtu.be/jUXBFdbLP6U
I hope the dog was put down. Should never have happened.
Pit bulls doges should banned
😮”Lawsuit Time against owner.”
They got no $$$
It’s never a Labrador Retriever. 🤔
Tragedy. The dog(s) need to be put down and the owners held responsible!
Pitbulls are not normal dogs.
I hope the dog was destroyed and the owners criminally and civilly liable.
Who let the dogs out ?
Ban those things.
Pit bulls. Weird.
Literally hundreds of cities in the US have banned this breed hundreds more nave them listed as dangerous or potentially dangerous . They are banned on all military bases also. I love dogs and animals but it is time to eradicate this breed.
Honestly this is what happens when blacks have dogs.
Wow. Seriously. Is this the best you could come up with?
What they bite only whites
I thought it said cops did this, I was like WTF are they biting firemen. I’m used to them killing and injuring people, it’s messed up that what shocked me was why are they biting now.
You’re thinking too hard, you might want to sit down. 😏
Reminds me of a near attack on a friend of mine. He was biking on his way from work when a random woman walking as he passed, tried to sic her dog on him for no reason. People are getting less and less in touch with responsibility and rational thinking
Texas sucks
Not those Golden Retrievers again.
Gee; wonder what kind of dogs they were and what kind of people owned them.
We have 2 of these dogs running loose in our small community in Northern Maine; I guess some “people” think they need them for “protection”.
Will the town do anything about it? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Everyone should get accustomed to the idea of providing your own protection from whatever threat comes your way.
Wasp spray and chocolate covered grapes.
I too live in Maine. Did you see the recent news story of the 6 year old girl mauled by a Pitt bull in Chesterville? Flown to Boston for multiple facial stitches. People need to understand these are dogs that need proper handling.
@Debra H Yes, we did see that story; very sad story…
We’re up North of Caribou and the problem in this case is people with dogs who don’t have a proper place to keep them.
I like dogs and feel sorry for the ones that are sometimes running lose but I’m not going to risk my wife, or the little kids next door, for a dog.
They owners have been warned.
Stay warm; Spring can’t be more than a few months away
Where is the dog owner….? They tend to hide or disappear during maulings like this. Owners only appear screaming at you if your kicking the crap out of the dog while it’s attacking you…!
Open carry every where , problem solved .
Put the owner in prison! Sick of seeing ignorant insecure men with a 50 IQ with dangerous animals that they have no business owning. Certain breeds of dogs need owners that are responsible and know how to train and control them, they are not for literal morons.
I wonder what breed of dog it was/s
I am waiting to hear if the dogs have been killed. Pit bulls are NOT pets and should be treated as wild.
As soon as I saw the headline I knew they were pitbulls.
Always pit bulls, those are evil dogs period, this race of dog shouldn’t exist I don’t care if they were trained to attack or not ,this dog is pure danger, always a pit bull killing someone older or infants, or anyone. Can you imagine leaving your little one or senior unattended with these dogs around, that’s a fatal encounter, always human in danger with this type of dog. And then people will say sorry with this type of events happens, Unbelievable. People will comment I am sorry, that sorry will not bring your love one back. Noooo way , this is serious, protect your kids and older people around this dog I do not trust them at all. Pit bulls unfortunately this race of dogs is like that, is never a good ending story with pits. The majority of this dogs are danger.
Ban pitbulls
If the fire fighters did not get injured and the people who got bite were black this would not be the in news right now. People complain numerous time about it, what did the cops do? NOTHING .
Let me guess. It was a golden retriever!
Jk obviously it was a pit. These dogs need to be banned.
Arrest the owner of the dogs, why were the dogs loose.
Calling something a pitbull should be made illegal unless it actually is an American pit bull terrier
Pitbulls need to be outlawed in America! Put them all down!
Something is bout to happen on the Earth, upheaval, animals are acting crazy and aggressive all around the world recently
When are laws going to get stronger to protect people and other pets from these vicious breeds???
I got 3 big dog they guard or property we have a big fence and always I keep and eye when they are outside.. but there’s a crazy guy that almost every day walks on the street with a dog and STOP IN FRONT OF MY FENCE and yells at my dog .. and he carry a metal bar and hit my fence and sidewalk screaming at my dog .. my dogs obviously barks at him .. but he’s not normal people I think he’s clinically mentally sick .. or want to make a fraudulent charge to my house insurance 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ he does the same thing for months now
If they might his as doing that then he deserves what u gets
Why is the WIFE not in jail too!?????
You got issues if you want a staffy
So sorry for victims
Emergency response crews need to carry bear spray-works on dogs.
Pit Bulls are illegal to own in A lot of states…
Take both owners & dogs
Out ocean & feed them to
Great white sharks !
I love all animals but someone should have killed that dog before it went biting people duh
People have bred the mean pit bulls and trained them to be vicious. The owners need to charged and breed outlawed.
Poor dogs
We’re dogs killed?
