I agree...... those dogs were used for other things, they were not "family dogs"!!! The father sounds like a real winner!!!! What a sad story. Crying or Very sad

I agree, also. It's just another blemish on P.B.s which makes the majority of people thinking that is what the P.B. stands for. I feel so bad for the child and the dogs in that article. Hope the father gets what he deserves.

This time i fully read the article, and some tipcal facts arise..... The dogs were there for a protection - the wrong sort, from the facts gathered from the article, i'd also be leed to suspect the dogs were trained to be "agro" .... Extremely sad the child had to die, sad the dogs did it, but one thing i keep on seeing is how little facts these reports or new-papers/net-paper provide us with, hard to judge what the story is, Remebering that just could be one of us dog owners one day being scared a bad owner then having other things throwin into help make u look like a mugg...

What a horrible story. It is to bad that child had to die. What a winner the father sounds like.
Just more scum ruining the name of a great breed.

It is very sad. Without a doubt those dogs should be put down.
And the father should be prisoned for life. This just makes me sick!

What I' like to know is why the neighbors were able to hear him, but the dad and dad's gf weren't able to hear him screaming in their own back yard. And why was the 8 year old boy in the yard unsupervised with 4 dogs - regardless of the fact that they were APBTs. I'm sure the father is going through plenty right now (emotionally), but it's not enough. He is responsible for his 8 year old son's death! I have a 4 year old son and 6 ABPTs - 4 of which stay here with us (a friend of ours is keeping the other 2 for now). I would NEVER leave my son with any of my dogs unsupervised. I trust all of my dogs, but I'm also not stupid. I saw a post on here about a dog attacking a child. They were so struck by the dog's behavior that they wanted to examine his body after he was put to sleep. They found a crayon shoved into his ear canal! Now I hope my son would never do anything like that, but you never know. And as loving and loyal as my APBTs are, I don't know that they wouldn't attack someone, even a child, who crammed something in their ear canal. I think parents should be held more responsible when sh!t like this happens. It makes me so mad!
