(WSB Radio) -- A seven-year-old girl is recovering after she was attacked by a pit bull mix. Cobb County Police Sgt. Dana Pierce tells WSB the little girl was walking home from school in front of the Valley View Mobile Home Park near Eastside Drive, when the dogl came after her. That's when a neighbor, who saw what was happening, ran to her aid, possibly saving her life.
"He went out with a piece of wood and actually struck the dog and was able to get the dog off of the seven-year-old girl," said Pierce. He then scooped the child up and took her to Kennestone Hospital. She was then airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston with a serious leg wound.
"Those injuries to her leg were originally thought to be very, very serious. Those injuries and her condition have since been upgraded," said Pierce.
The dog is in the custody of animal control and will likely be euthanized. Charges are pending against the dog's owner.
“Police reports taken hospital records etc....look somemore you are missing a lot.”

It seems that the PBA will not admit that these attacks
are found by local police reports/scanners,,,
I worked at the local rag for over 5 years (pressroom),,,
This was 69-75,,,
They do the very same thing today,,,
No Way that anybody gets killed/mauled without the media
being all over it,,,
Why don’t they use a German Shepherd or a Yorkie in all
these Dawg Fights that we hear of ??!...;0)
I remember that now...;0)
The rest has been beaten to death.
You seem like a fairly decent person, granny, just mistaken. (besides, I like goats:)) I really wish I had enough money to hire you to do some research, as I do have a project and no time, but you'd have to drop the poisoned bias and be objective.
Advice: Learn the difference between fact and opinion.
The statistics clearly back up the statement. It's math not science.
Advice:
1) learn the difference between the two, and
2) follow your own advice.
Gee that research only took a few minutes...and ridgerunner wants me to do his research on pits for free....when pigs fly and democrats in Washington love American..
And learn to write while you are at it.
*** but you'd have to drop the poisoned bias and be objective. you wrote***
Objectivity is not on the side of the pit lovers. Anyone that calls truth about the breed poison bias, I wouldn't work for even if you had the money..But there are enough of those pit lovers that would work for you cheap...:O)
Euthanize is just a kind way of kill the piece of shit!
Now, when people finally get sick of this crap happening we will see entire neighborhoods policing for the protection of their young ones!
I don’t condone it, but truly understand it!
But carry on anyway.
We have a staffy living with us right now who is the biggest sap under the sun.His behaviour regarding people is faultless,he oozes 'cute' and never ever once in the 5 yrs my son has owned him has he looked at anyone suss.However those cheeks full of muscle tell me never to ever trust him carte blanche.
He is one of the most loving members of our family but we watch him because of what he is.
Learn how to read. We weren’t talking about statistics.
We were not talking at all. Now, are we done splitting your dumb-a$$ hairs?
Will you next argue that astronomy does not show pit bulls are dangerous? Perhaps geography?
It's about evidence, and you need to stop trying to slant the discussion in an absurd effort to deny what is obvious.
against whatever comes down the road,,,
We have to do that now in many places,,,
Some areas of Shreveport are/were NO~GO zones for the
mailman and the cops,,,
Local black preachers whined-n-cried because the checks
were not brought to the mailbox of the peeps,,,
Mailman got tired of being chased by pits and shot at
by the local thugs,,,
This area near I-49 is infamous around here,,,
Harp St. is another NO~GO zone,,,(same reason),,,
Lakeside is also an area that the thugs/pits control,,,
The cops ran away from a riot in that area,,,
I lived near that area,,,Long Night,,,
Another riot was in Cedar Grove,,,thug/pit area,,,
It got to the point that I had to keep my Springers in
the house to keep them safe from attack,,,
Just like I have to do now with my yorkie...
I lived in a neighborhood like that during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s (my earlier adult years). Police wouldn’t go there, unless they absolutely had to, and then only with two cars and a fire team each with shotguns. ...rarely. ...over 300 bodies each year from unsolved homicides in that small part of the metro alone and over 300 on the other side of the river. Even rough, tough buddies in my motor-sickle club were terrified of that place.
But there weren’t any pit bulls in that neighborhood in those days. The mailmen did fine. There were many whole, decent families even in those neighborhoods back then.
is goin’ down the tube,,,
Shreveport is now about 70% black now,,,
The Katrina crowd left their “pets” and bought new one’s
here and have stayed,,,
That's when the thug/turd next door made his money...
Yep.
Will you next argue that astronomy does not show pitbulls are dangerous?
Argue that one with granny. She might be an astronomer.
insurance companies to kill the coverage of the owners,,,
I don't want MY rates to go up because some Idiot wants
to have a Pit or a Tiger or an Alligator or a Bear
in their house,,,
No insurance = No loan...
Seriously, that’s a great idea about talking to insurance companies.
You know, though, I thought a time or two about building two sets of strong wood panel fences around the place, about twenty yards apart. ...all the way around the place, and putting some boars in that area between the fences and neglecting them—boars that never had their tusks or testicles cut. Oh...feeding them, of course, but being just plain rude to them and not rubbing their backs with a stick or anything. ...just growl and scowl at ‘em once in a while from behind the inner fence.
...sorta like havin’ a moat around the place. ;-) But nawwww. It would cost too much, and I don’t need it. ;-)
[Your idea is a good one, and the rest my reply was not sincere at all.]
