Pits?
How awful. Prayers for the family.
Generally when it's pit bulls, the MSM will specify it, just like they note when it's an SUV in a traffic fatality (but otherwise generically say "car" or "truck"). When they just say "dogs," that usually means it doesn't fit their (global warming/Iraq=Vietnam/SUVs=bad/Pits/Rotties = evil) favorite storylines.
I checked further...this report does mention pits and a mixed breed, running wild/out of owner control. Outrageous.

Don't know. At first the news was they thought she had been hit by a car and were looking for the driver. All of a sudden the news is she was attacked by dogs.
Then there's this report, which only mentions the pits and lets the mixed breed off scot-free. It also mentions that no charges have been filed against the owners, which seems insane.
It does mention that it happened at night after the poor kid sneaked out of the house...but if she ran afoul of someone's nighttime watchdogs on their property, I don't think she would have been found in an area by the road. Very weird and sad case.
