07/26/08: Lifetime of Injury Unfolds
Paw Paw, MI - In a developing story, a 10-year old boy is recovering in the hospital after being attacked by the family pit bull. The boy's injuries required the amputation of his right arm. The attack happened while the boy was home alone. An older brother returned home to find the boy still being attacked and took the boy to the hospital.

Both parents were reportedly in Indiana at the time. The two-year old pit bull named Torco was euthanized at the Van Buren County Animal Shelter. The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office is still investigating and said they will turn the case over to the county prosecutor's office for review. Meanwhile, an innocent 10-year old has lost part of his right arm for life...

Ungh....If only this was the adult owner.

How many limbs, scalps and lives have these dogs taken?

This one seems ripe for prosecution...Let's see if the Prosecutor gets bamboozeled by legal blind spot afforded the owner since this was presumably a "domesticated dog".

The pit bull advocates are sitting around saying, "There must have been some sign from the dog like
he growled at a stranger the day before." So what if the dog did?
How many dog breeds chew a family members arm off the way this breed does? The pit bull advocates continue to deny genetics. It's a lot like the fairy tale of The Emperors New Clothes. The subjects refused to say the king had no clothes on--A child called out, "he's naked." Perhaps this mauled child can tell the advocates, "genetics count."

That means the dog will be destroyed before he can attack some innocent being.

The American Bulldog started to bark at the neighbor's gardner, the owner told him to be quiet but the PIT BULL had his own ideas.

Women with children whose "boyfriend's" pit bulls live in the house should be charged with child endangerment. At least the child wasn't hurt.
