This is an excerpt of a mauling that happened this past week, very sad news and something i wish no family to go through. Let me state this, some have said to me that i shouldn't be writing or posting articles like this. WHY? cause it shed's a bad light on the PIT BULL breed. My response is simple, good and bad things need to be told as to help educate and rid away with the stupid ass people who do wrong with the breed. My condolence goes to the family of the young child, lets help rid of the problem people.... Not the dogs....

A 2-year-old San Bernardino boy died early Friday after he was mauled by the family’s pit bull, authorities said.
“It was a tragic accident,” said Sgt. Travis Walker of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. “The dog was a family pet.”
The boy, who suffered major head trauma, was in the backyard with the dog when the attack occurred about 7:20 p.m. Thursday at the family home in the 1500 block of Kendall Drive.
Investigators are not sure what spurred the attack.

Scott Andrade, of Breed fame made a few comments as well, here are his words.....
*There are questions that always seem to remain in regards to tragedies such as this…
Was this dog socialized?
Was this dog familiar with the baby?
Was this dog trained in obedience or otherwise?
Was the dog crate trained?
Was there an adult supervising the dog and child at all times?
These questions are not intended to disrespect the family involved or anyone else involved. I just feel that these are the types of questions that need to be asked before an incident like this takes place.
Please remember that no none, pit bull aficionados included, wants to hear about this happening…period! I would care to say that timing is everything and this may not have been the right time for this family to have a baby and a dog (any breed of dog) residing in the same house. I am a grandfather of a very active 4 year old. Although our pit bull named “Super” and my grandson get along very well, we can never leave the two of them alone under any circumstance at all. We love our dog yet need to remain realistic and remember that this is an animal. The lack of direct communication and understanding between an animal and humans is an obvious thing and should be well respected.
As i stated earlier on, my grandson is an active child and have witnessed his “over-enthusiasm” with our dog. Children are prone to climb, poke, tug and pull on on puppies and kittens as well. We may never know what provoked this dog in San Bernardino to act out this vicious attack on this child.
please comment on this sad topic with your own comments. These types of attacks may be the “nail in the coffin” in regards to a ban on pits.
