The first sentence said “his family dog”.
I don’t think this is written as poorly as you do. I read poor articles here all the time, and this is OK. Misses some things, but that is true of every breaking story.
My biggest question - what kind of trash were these people?
Damn, I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Pretty bad.
Having a decent sized male dog of any breed that hasn't been neutered around children is pretty stupid.
Guns, dogs, cars, heck just about anything with lethal potential, it's the stupid people that make them dangerous. When I was about 8 or 9 I got chewed on by a dog down the street owned by people of the same sort we read about in all of these dog incidents. Wasn't a pit, just a decent sized mongrel. But dangerous because of the trash owner.
I don't own a dog, don't want the commitment. But I have 2 "grandogs" that I love who visit regularly & stay with us when our daughter goes on vacation. She has fostered a number of pits and pit mixes, so I'm not the rabid breed hater like most in these threads. Everyone has their opinion. But I have REAL animosity for a LOT of dog owners because they are the real menace. I've come to think that responsible, intelligent dog owners are probably the minority, based on the number of jerk moron owners I've have to contend with over the years. I've wanted to take a baseball bat to some of them.
