BRIDGEWATER — During 40 years as a veterinarian, Dr. Neal Andelman has removed toys and other items from dogs’ stomachs. But until Thursday, he had never retrieved human body parts, as best the doctor could recall, said Lou Berman, a hospital administrator for the New England Animal Medical Center in West Bridgewater. Thursday afternoon, Andelman operated post mortem on a pit bull that had bitten a Bridgewater woman and swallowed parts of her face. The male pit bull was euthanized and operated upon following a request from the Boston hospital treating the 71-year-old woman, whose face was mauled by the 50-pound dog in the kitchen of her home.

Nice town, West Bridgewater.

Quite a few mosquitoes though.

I don't care when pitbulls attack their owners. I only care when they attack innocent bystanders.

An ex-FReeper who posted article after article about pit bulls. I don’t know what happened to him.

The doc has managed the near impossible, he is operating on a good pit bull, a dead one.

Oh, but it's still a good dogie.

This incident is clearly the owner's fault.

Because their are no bad doggies, only bad humans.

I wouldn’t expect this from a pit bull. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel maybe, but not a pit bull.

Friday I had one of the toughest emergency surgeries that didn't turn out well for the dog. I cannot imagine doing a gastrotomy to retrieve human body parts and it not affect me.

Not just posted — BOMBARDED FR with Pit Bull stories. He must have been bitten by one when he was a child since his agenda was clearly to drive the breed off the face of the earth. Of course the threads always descended into all heck breaking loose when pb owners would come to the rescue of their breed. It was usually pretty funny (to me anyway), but I think one time Chet went way over the edge and — Chet no more.

All of his posts were not found by him...other freepers would notify him cause they didn’t want to get into it with pit lovers...I was sorry to see him go, but he got the zot and I don’t think it was from pit posts. It was I think from some Palin posts, but wouldn’t bet more than a quarter on it... I think Jim personally zotted him....its Jims house...

There are a couple of those "he wouldn't hurt a fly" types in my neighborhood...tick...tick...tick...

Many insurance companies won't underwrite homeowner policies if you own a pit bull...gee, I wonder why?
