And I was ready to put my money on a Golden and Black Labrador.

Who then should have cuffed the owners and took them to jail.

The article doesn't say it, but chances are the owner was a typical, insecure thug-life moron who values looking tough over the safety of family and neighbors.

That makes two of us. I love dogs but I don't see how folks can be so stupid with the pitbull breed. It's jaw just isn't formed to let go.

Rottenwilders and Pit Fiends! A 69 year old woman in Newport, Oregon was recently attacked by Pit Fiend. I'd just as soon trust a hyena than either of the aforementioned disgraces to caninekind...

I agree with you, we need to make pit bulls an endangered species.

Maybe the US Gov't could gather them all, starve them for a few days, and air drop them into Anbar Province, Iraq and the Iraq/Pakistan border area...

Somebody will probably post about their pit bull who was "the most wonderful, gentle, sweet, devoted companion and he was just great with kids!"

--> Darn Right! My Pet Pitbull is the nicest sweetest dog you'll every meet. He's a devoted companion and he is just great with kids! On top of that, he's the most wonderful, gentle, sweet dog you'll ever meet and would never harm a fly.
By the way, did i forget to mention he's my Imaginary Pitbul? hehehehehe

Because a cocker spaniel attack leaves a couple of puncture wounds, and probably wouldn't require hospitalization. A chihuahua attack wouldn't merit any media attention aside from the fact that it's kind of funny. German Shephard's don't attack unless they're trained to attack. Pitbulls and Rottweilers have been known to attack without provocation. Pittbulls are the most unpredictable and dangerous dog breed because of their unpredictability and their tremendous biting power.

"To bad the press doesn't report other dog attacks, just Pitbulls and Rottweilers all the time. Whats with that?"

Two reasons. One, they are the most vicious dogs, known to attack children, other dogs, and sometimes their own masters, (Rottweilers). These dogs are extremely dominant and don't like to be challenged by anyone or anything. When they mistake any action by a stranger as a challenge you're in deep trouble.

Second, these dogs do the most severe damage to their victims. Most dogs that bite will bite once and then leave you alone when you run.

Pitbulls and Rottweilers driving SUVs are a definite menace.
