A 911 call made during the attack reveals more gruesome details.
“They’re slinging her all over the street,” the female caller says.
She said that a neighbor was using a pole to get one of the dogs to release Drame, but the animal had her by the face.
“There’s blood all over,” said the caller, who added that a third dog was chasing neighbors down the street.

Credit where credit is due.
There have been a lot of stories about cops shooting dogs when they didn’t have to, whether that was spite, ‘roid rage, or just because they could get away with it. Neither Kartographer nor I have been the slightest bit (no pun intended!) shy about criticizing them when they do.
It’s only fair that we recognize when shooting a dog in needful and not psychotic.
Or would you prefer we pick a side in the false devil cop/angel cop dichotomy and stick to it no matter what?
I’m sorry for your son as I love dogs too but I ask, if he goes on calls where dogs are, why didn’t he carry pepper spray as well as a gun?
God have mercy. She needs prayer.
These damn fighting breeds of dogs lack the protection and loyalty instincts of other breeds.Their canine rules of engagement are wrong.It’s not even the dog’s fault,they were selectively bred to be that way.But low life owners think it’s cool to have a dangerous dog.
always keep that filet knife handy !
Not available to him. And it is my grandson, not son. At least the dog was a stray and did not break anyones heart but my grandsons.
I am not going to watch the video. But did no one in the neighborhood have a gun?

Every time someone’s shot the government wants our guns. But time after time pit bulls have mauled, killed, and attacked people and nothing is done. It should not be legal for people to own or breed these dogs. They’re killers.
Oh I know, the stories of the ‘gentle’ ones like the lovable one in the news last week for ripping apart a little girl visiting that home. Never been a problem before though, duh.
A Pit Bull? No way.

How many people/children have to be killed, maimed before the politicians screaming GUN CONTROL even MENTION that these dogs are bread to kill - one never knows when and what the trigger will be -
But there’s no political power to be made, no country to subdue by doing some serious pit bull control.
ALL dogs should be under control at ALL times.
I hope somebody shoots the owner, too.
They earned it.
There is no excuse for this and it is their fault that poor child is suffering.
When I take the Dobes in public, they are leashed.
Sometimes, depending on circumstances, they are also wearing head halters which act as muzzles, if need be.
No innocent person will ever be harmed by dogs.
Someone would literally have to break into my home to get bitten by them...which removes them from the “innocent person” list, by default.
Responsible dog ownership is really not that difficult to achieve.
Hmmm, so let’s say they did get loose, or a kid wandered into your yard... and one of your dogs DID maul a child. Shouldn’t you go to jail if that happened? You have already declared that they are a threat because you muzzle them. If I were on a jury I take that as tacit admission that they are indeed dangerous. What I don’t get about dog owners is that they just can’t admit that they have a dangerous animal. Suppose I was your neighbor and I had a pet cougar... Never bitten anyone... Tame as can be... Would you be OK with that?
Don’t play word games with me.
I never declared them a “threat” nor did I say I “muzzle them” and you know that.
In intense situations I err on the side of caution because I do not want them to bite *other dogs*.
They would not bite kids, smart ass.
They will *not* get loose unless they master locks and keys nor can any kids get to them unless they are tiny little felons who also have mastered picking locks.
All of that seemingly excessive security, by the way, is for the *dogs’* safety.
People steal dogs.
Not mine.
Every dog owner on earth has a potentially dangerous animal, just like every parent has a potential future serial killer sitting at the breakfast table.
[I can stoop to logical fallacies too, even though my initial reply to you was logical, polite and rational]
I’m pondering whether you used argumentum ad populum or argumentum ad baculum with your inane pet cougar remark.
FYI, in Miami, you can own a pet tiger but not a pit bull.
That must make you feel very conflicted.
Please go play Twister with someone more gullible.
