As a daddy, I can only imagine the anguish Josh must feel. One thing I know for sure is that if a family dog intentionally caused a serious injury to either of my sons, it would disappear in record time and would never reappear-anywhere.
This kind of thing is also very hard on mammas. I hope Wyatt's injuries are not permanent and that the whole family comes through this whole episode ok.
For example, Kenny got his jabs in on Josh, but did it in a way that wasn't particularly offensive. Hammertime and MXR? Not so much.

How about we leave this thread for updates and leave the discussion of dog breeds to the Westmenster Dog Show. Here's a link if you so happen to be "passionate" about discussing dog breeds.

Get well soon Wyatt.
We can stereotype and say that a certain ethnicity makes up a large population of our prison system, but would you have a person of that ethnicity in your home to meet your kids?...... I dont care what people say, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
I have been around vital a long time. Though I lost my original username / email a long time ago. I should really dig it up. (maybe you can email me GuyB to change my name, as this isnt accurate).
This is the most off putting moto thread ever. Why has this not been moved? Threads like this sure do make me want to bail on this board all together. I come here to read about moto and things somewhat related, but to turn this into a breed bashing argument (for or against) is going a little far.
flame away.
But just like this situation
It is good that the publc hear about pit bulls attacking so people can be more careful and manage there dog so innecent people don't get hurt.
These dogs are in the news time and time again
I was attacked 7-11-2011
So I know first hand how it feels
$30,000 of surgeries
They only make up 5% of all dogs but yet are responsible for 66%
Of all human deaths in US
Carry a gun
I do now
I am so sorry for josh and his little guy
And also hope people keep a handle on these dogs if they decide to have them
I actually shot a pitbull some years ago. Drug dealing guy down the street let it roam the neighborhood. Un-neutered male pitbull repeatedly came after my elderly border collie (the border collie, while the closest genetically to the eastern gray wolf all dogs come from, is not exactly known for its ferocity).
2 .40 slugs at close range with zero remorse.
I am a loving father of two beautiful children under 5 yrs, and i am also a responsible owner of a pitbul. I don't have any tattoos nor am I gangster wanna be. As a father and responsible pit owner, I take every precaution to ensure that they are never left alone together without me present. Although I believe my pit to be non aggressive and to have a mild temperament, I just simply would not afford any opportunity for any extreme situation to happen. With that said, a pit can be a great family dog in a controlled environment.
Pitbulls can be friendly dogs, however, the problem with them is that they do most things well. For example, my pit is very obedient, because I raised him to be that way. He hardly barks and is a dream to walk, even while encountering another dogs. He allows my much smaller american bull dog to push him around, even with him being twice her size. Pitbulls are a smart and loyal breed, however, if one decided to harm something, because of its physical capabilities, it would preform well.
I never claimed to be a dog expert nor am I bashing anyone for what happened to Josh's kids. I am sorry that the grants are going through this traumatic experience and wish them the best.
Here is a pic of my big guy
The daughter of a friend of mine got tore up pretty good by a couple of Dalmatians. Dogs always seem to go for the face...
As much as I love dogs, I'd never have an aggressive bred dog around any children...PERIOD. You are almost asking for trouble. Yes any dog could bite, but typically that's the end of it. A pit is not going to stop.
My daughter said people were stupid for not trusting her pit mix dog. Well after having a child, and watching it go after her she quickly changed her mind.
"Most dog owners in the USA are morons and overall dog "breeding" is an embarrassing train wreck."
Pit Row
My opinion is a little bias because i have had three pitbull incidents in 17 years of living in Simi Valley. I'm sure that most of the people on this board are responsible parents and dog owners but, there are quite a few out there that are not.
Anyway, early one morning a man was driving past there and noticed two pit bulls attacking the sheep and goats. He stopped and tried to distract the dogs to get them to stop. When that failed he went back to his house nearby, got his compound bow and killed the two dogs. Early reports were that none of the goats or sheep were killed but I think one or two eventually had to be put down. Was definitely one of those WTF moments when I heard it on the news.
The edit was not directed at anyone specifically, just to reflect the tone the thread took with some as it jumped the tracks.
Get well soon Wyatt.
Bummer for little Grant. I hope he gets well soon.
Getting rid of an animal that has become part of the family is always hard. We had to do that with a female Malamute. Very sweet dog, but a typical alpha behavior. I could never trust her around my kid, and had to place her. It is one thing for an adult to establish dominance. Kids? not so much.
Samoyed for me now. And even though I trust them 100% around my kids, I would never let a situation like this happen:
Dog's are animals not people if they were bred to do something they will do it if the right factors present themselves.
Thankfully it is not as bad as it could have been but still a very unfortunate situation and I really hope and pray his son will be okay and not permanently affected by it. That is all that matters at this point.
