I wish the best for the Grant's and wish the little guy well. As far pit bulls go some of you are sadly, sadly misinformed or just had an experience that gave you the worst possible impression. One of our two dogs is a pit bull and she is an amazing dog with kids. She licks everything and everyone. Raise your dog right and you will be fine. We exposed her to kids and other dogs from day one and have never had her so much as put her fur up at another dog.
Exactly. When my kids came into my home I made it a point to roll Troylee over and put the kids next him. It is very important to show who is alpha. The humans in the household are alphas in Troy's eyes. Establish it when they are puppies. Yes you have to spend more time with them but in the end it is well worth it. You don't get a powerful dog and put him in the backyard or let him in the house without learning manners. If the time cannot be put in then that person should not own a dog. I can hold Troy on his back while leaning him almost upside down and he is completely limp. He trusts me and my family.
The meanest dog I have ever met was a cocker spaniel and her name was Lady. Should have been bitch because she was a very very mean dog.

I've been trying to research it and it seems the statistics are very jaded by what ever side people choose.

I did find it odd that Dobermans were almost 50% on Fatalities, German Shepherds 30% and PitBulls 20% but with much higher numbers

I think it depends on the individual dog. My gf has a pit, and it's the happiest, goofiest dog I've ever met.

Truth be told Pit Bulls make up for a small percentage of Dog bites , I do agree that you need to be careful.

My Son got his face ripped open by a Chow , truth is all Dogs are Predatory Animals.

Well wishes to the Grants.
Jay I know you are not a gangbanger and you have every right to own a pitbull or any dog you choose as most likely you are a responsible dog owner.

My point is that if i need to drive through a gang infested area I do not see labs n foofoo dogs in people's yards, it is an overwhelming majority of pitbulls behind the fences or running around unattended.
Not sure on statistics but believe me people like you are in the minority when it comes to pitbull ownership

Do you think Josh thought any differant about his dog than you or 500 guy do about yours?? The fact is these dogs are dangerous and unpredictable.

Although the raising and training of a dog can determine their potential behavior the situation has to be looked at like this. Dogs are animals. They can and sometimes will behave as such. Do you want a bear trap around your house or a mouse trap? Specially if you have small children. Irregardless of breed.

Best wishes to JG's son for a complete recovery. Sad deal.
Question for the pit bull owners--Where are you getting homeowners insurance? As most policies are null and void if one owns a Pit Bull, Chow, Rottweiler, or Wolf breed.

You're as dumb as Josh Grant then .
This isn't about what kind of dog was involved, your statement is offensive and cruel.

My family owns 2 fairly large vet clinics in SoCal, my Wife and father in law are the chief veterinarians.

I have been fortunate enough to be around hundreds of all breeds of dogs for the last 12 years, and from my perspective a gently raised Pit Bull Terrier is one of the sweetest and most loyal dogs. Of course we also come across quite a few that have been raised to attack and fight by gang members, and THOSE are the animals you have to be very careful with.

I dont own a pit bull ( we are Golden Retriever people), but my sister in law owns the best funny goofball Pit you will ever meet, because she raised him with love. I would never worry about my two young children around this dog

I dont even know what breed the Grant's dog is, but your blanket statement that Josh is "Dumb" shows what kind of creep you are.
You should be a man and show up at Lake Elsinore this Saturday and tell Josh face to face, I sure he would appreciate your wisdom and insight on how to manage his family.

I do not blame people for the way they react to Pit Bulls
You have NO idea how correct that is, In certain sections of the inland empire especially. I could tell you some crazy shit that some of these loser idiots have done to their poor dogs...

Our pit was the absolute sweetest dog ever... they are strong and don't realize at times, but he was great around the kids, no issue ever.
8/18/2013 11:53pm
There are certain breeds of dog more prone to this type of thing than others, and there's no getting around that the Pit Bull is one of them. However these things are mostly caused by crappy owners -people who think they understand dogs but don't. We have the same problem with it over here. I remember my dad one time walking along the street minding his own business and getting bit by a passing dog on a lead. The owner then told him (not a moment after he had removed his coat to get it away from his arm) "Oh sorry, he won't hurt you. He's just a big baby really"...... Like I said, no idea.

My best wishes to the Grant family. Not for suing generally but whoever's responsible deserves it this time.

That is fortunate, it could have been worse.

I still wish good luck to the dog now, I am sure he will taste good in a chinese restaurant.
8/19/2013 2:10am
Let's face it. If you own a dog and it's not a pitbull, you are total faggot.

Wishing the little Grant a full recovery.

Are you fucking mental, pit bulls are a fighting dog, it's in their genes. So WHEN the dog decides to turn it will always be uglier than other dog attacks.

I hope the local laws require this dog to be put down.

Many experts say you should never leave a child under 10 years old alone with any dog.

Some parents are so stupid they should have to get a fucking licence to raise children !!!!!!!

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to the child.

Really, my moms docile, loving Golden Retriever Bo bit Joey in the face when he was 2 years old. All because joey fell onto his back while he was laying down. Any animal will bite. Its in their nature. Its reaction and not intentional a good portion of the time.

Such a shitty turn this thread took.

Aside from it tuning into a pit vs. other dog breed fest, Hammertime you are a dick. In a thread about the welfare of a child you take pot shots at Grant AGAIN. What a douche.

Wow, this is turning out worse than USA vs. the World or a 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke thread! SMH...

I think it's safe to say, regardless of the breed, it would be irresponsible to leave any child alone with a dog. My brother was bitten in the leg by a loose Golden when he was 10 and needed stitches. The police said there had been complaints of the family threatening to sick that dog on others. He was only doing what his owners taught him to do. I believe Goldens are great family dogs despite that experience.

People with their minds made up already will fight to the death to defend their position on the Internet, no matter what the subject is... Happy Monday everyone!

Pit bulls only make up 5% of all dogs in us
But 33 people killed in 2010 by dog attacks in us
22 were pit bulls
Not good
I hope his kid is on the road to happier times
Get well soon little man

I agree that any animal will bite if it's provoked. But some animals are genetically more aggressive than others. And it's hard to deny that pitbulls are more aggressive than a most, if not all, other dogs.
