The pit bull that attacked a beagle in front of schoolchildren

Stupid dog should have attacked when their backs were turned!

Did she say she’s an avid Freeper, defending the breed from Chet 99 too?

The woman said she rescued the female pit bull from a Hamilton shelter in 2007 and that a year later the pit was attacked by another dog in Hamilton. “And ever since then she’s been weird about dogs.”

So, she knew she had a problem waiting to happen.

People who claim that you can trust pit bulls are IDIOTS! They should be willing to serve five years in prison, no parole, if their dog attcks a person or other animal. Screw them!! Bob

I always leave guns at home (can’t carry them all) when I leave, but none of them have ever got out and fired themselves.

[svcw]

Hummm, never got out before.
Strange how these dogs are so smart they figure out how to get out of the yard when their owners are distracted or gone.

[Venturer]

Of all the breeds she had to pick from why did she pick a pit bull.

She admits the expensives decision has caused her to put up a large fence and keep watchful eye on the dog.. Why would someone voluntarily commit themselves to an animal they know is a risk when they get it. I have a friend with a large Boxer. The dog is super friendly but even when it is playing it hurts you. The thing is strong and plays hard., and is hard to control when excited. Imagine this strong dog as a pit bull that might turn on you at any minute and it’s a nightmare.

I’ve owned two pit bulls over the years and plan to get another soon - good dogs. If someone wants an unaltered male as a pet, they should think twice about it.

Lori Boberg had walked her kids to school and said she was standing at a corner waiting to cross the street when the pit bull leapt over the lab and attacked Allie, a 15-year-old beagle mix with terminal cancer — and then all hell broke loose.

Lori will sooner are later figure out how lucky she was the dog didn't kill one of the kids.

The second headline was "Will NJ Teabaggers Rise?"

If the Trentonian wants to be considered a NEWSpaper, then they should not be using the derisive term "teabagger."

If it's a story about the less than 1% of all Pit Bulls in the USofA who act out, it has to come from Chet 99.

HOW does anyone know if that poor dog with Cancer didn't BEG the Pit to put it out of its misery? OR maybe the Pit realized the other dog was sick and the Pit was trying to protect the people from the sick dog? The Pit did NOT attack the children. There must have been some kind of primal reason for attacking the 15 yr old dog with cancer.

This woman's sister needs to be questioned as to how the dogs got out.

And Chet, what did a Pit Bull do to you that you have to report on the tragic cases and not on the heroic ones? Why are you so one-dimensional?

That pit bull is lucky he didn't mess with ...

[lefty-lie-spy]

Goodness, a Pit Bull story. How original.

LAME!

[HOP]

My neighbor has a Pit who is fine around people but is on it’s last leg with the county for attacking other dogs. She cane after my pup years ago as I walked him. Had I not know the Pit she would have attacked. They have since secured the fence gate ... but never underestimate how clever a Pit can be if it see’s another dog being walked down the street.

They also have a huge German Rott named Bear and the name fits. His head is the size of a small Bear. He has the best disposition of any Rott I’ve ever seen. A big baby. Scares the hell out of most people though. They are going to breed him soon and I have 2nd choice of the litter. The county made them fix the Pit.

I can relate to this. My dog was attacked by a vicious dog- through a fence, nonetheless, and he's never been the same around other dogs. When we're out for a walk, which is when the attack occurred, he thinks all other dogs are going to attack him the way the other one did- and he automatically takes an aggressive posture.

Straight-up question Chet.

Are you a member of PETA?

Do you sympathize with their objectives?

(OK, ok ... that was two questions.)
