An 11-year-old Toledo girl who was attacked by two Pit Bulls is honoring the good samaritan she says saved her life.

Today was the first time Sarabeth McAdams and her 18-year-old rescuer Sam Granata met since the attack. Sarabeth's mother arranged the meeting because she wanted to personally thank the man she says saved her daughter's life.

Just over a week ago, Sarabeth was riding her bike when she was attacked by two Pit Bulls. Granata was on his way home from work when he saw the attack. Today, a tearful Sarabeth expressed her gratitude to Granata.

Better to drop kick a pug....one of my son’s had to drop kick a sheltie owned by a neighbor when it came after him...just be patient and wait until its close enough...the dumb dog landed in the middle of the yard and son was at the curb....

I would imagine that is the current problem with these dogs, being churned out with no care of proper breeding.

A good many of the people raising pit bulls want viciousness as a trait and presumably would intentionally breed for it.

Yes, I thought about putting that pic in the thread, but did hesitated.

Many of this bread of animal are dangerous. I suppose you cannot condem a whole bread, but I would not own one.

Hey now, you know the rules! They are allowed to call us bastards, druggies, idiots and child-haters, and then complain about the tone of our posts.

We are allowed to shut up and thank them for the abuse.

Nice post!

It's good to remember that with all the bad news we see, plenty of good things are happening too.

There are still heroes in America!

Yep i remember that,but they learned from previous mistakes,i guess about 10 yrs ago they had a movie out i believe it was called Snow Dogs about a bunch of Beautiful Siberian Huskies (proud owner of 2)...
The movie company did as much as possible to run disclaimers,link to articles on difficulties with raising Siberians and it worked... The movie was a big hit but people did not run out and buy one for the kids and give it it away after awhile.. Remember 1001 Dalmations market was flooded with them a large amount of them got put down,cute in the movie but a very difficult to raise...

What did Sam Granata do to save her? Article doesn’t even say. It just says he saw the attack.

“Just over a week ago, Sarabeth was riding her bike when she was attacked by two Pit Bulls.”

RIDING HER BIKE???? THAT LITTLE BRAT TAUNTED THOSE DOGS!!!! SHE HAD IT COMING!!!!

(The above is sarcasm)

This story is why Pugs are better than Pit Bulls. I have 5. Anybody want one?

“gosh, no one cares about proper breeding of pugs. why would it be any different with a 200# dog??”

As an amatuer Pug Breeder I would like to hazard a guess, could it be because a Pug, no matter how viscious will usually get tired before killing you or might see something shiny or decide to go chase a feather across the yard instead of munching on a tasty baby?
