kid goes thru a fence to enter someone else’s yard.. ok, not to start anything, but was this possibly a trained watch dog guarding his home, or just a vicious brute?

Keep up the good work Chet 99.

Your posting has made me much more aware of the issue.

...or possibly an american bull dog, or an english bulldog, or a toso inu, or a dogo argentino, or a presa canario, or a cane corso, or a patterdale terrier, etc. etc.

There are MANY breeds that have some resemblence the pit pull terrier that you hate so much.

Too bad. If she was charged with assault it must mean she lived.

ha. fair enough.

but if he posted an article like this once a day, we'd say 'WOW this is a major problem!'

when in fact it happened only 365 times a year throughout the world.

Yes she lived - was apparently not injured too badly (and with a .357). But as usual with new stories it was impossible to find out what eventually happened.

I have some stats.

I can find a bunch more if you need them. What surprises the heck out of me is that these stats are not hard to find. People who don't want to deal with the truth simply won't do their homework to see the factual reality in this matter.
Pitt Bulls and Pitt Bull crosses make up over half of the dogs responsible for fatal dog attacks every year but are only 9% of the total dog population. They make up about 75% of total attacks where substantial damage is done and are still only 9% of the dog population of this country.
These numbers alone demonstrate the factual truth about this breed.

“when in fact it happened only 365 times a year throughout the world.”

That may be true, but it would only take one time for my child. And if anything makes me more aware and makes me more precautions then I’m grateful for it.

true enough. be wary of families with these types of dogs, carry a firearm (or pocket knife at least) when you go on walks, even in your own neighborhood if there are dogs around.

i see a dog charging a kid in a threatening manner, i'm shooting.

For variety, here’s a story about a kid attacked by a “fisher cat”:

if I saw a dog attacking a child and people were just standing around watching, not only would I kill the dog, but it would take an army to keep me from seriously harming those retards who could watch a child being hurt like that, damn my blood pressure rises fast even at the thought of that.

Lots of “do you ever” in your post. Do you believe in Freedom of Speech?
