Children killed, mother injured by family dogs

I own a female pit bull.
We love her and she is the sweetest thing with tons of personality.
We NEVER EVER EVER treat her like she isn't a bomb ready to explode. She has never bitten, never attacked, and when accidently causes any pain or injury during play shows genuine guilt and remorse.
We still never ever ever treat her like she wouldn't flip her shit and turn into a murder monster.

Never let our guard down. Never off leash in public. Never brought close to people or other dogs without focused attention on behavior and reaction.

She's not a toy and she's not a teddy bear (well she is, but just for us). She is a beast built for killing and she is treated as such.

I've had pitulls all my life. Until 2019 three of my 4doggies were pitties. All of them beautiful, loving, intelligent, spiritual beings. We always treat all our dogs like they are family, never once had them bite anyone. Two of them passed away from natural causes in 2019. I now
have two pitbulls, a Chocolate Lab, and a Jack Russell Terrier.

The only one who ever bit anyone was the little Jack Rusell. She jumped out our car after taking her to the dog park and the neighbor kid started running so she chased him and bit him on the leg.

If you abuse your children they will grow up mean and angry. If you abuse your animals they will grow up mean and angry.

How many examples do you need. Pits DO just snap and KILL inside their own packs.

These dogs KILL.

This woman is dead.

DEAD. Over. a. DOG.

No, they don't just "snap". Like ALL PACK ANIMALS, they are instinctually defending, protecting or establishing a pack animal hierarchy.

They do not just "snap"...or as the other AC said, have a "psychotic break".

That's your assessment based on emotion, not fact.

Florida Woman Survives Vicious, 9-Minute Attack by Her Own Pit Bull


clip-
.. attacked by her 9-year-old pit bull that she later lost her arm.

Yasmin Adam got her "gentle" pet, named Sir Hinkles, as a puppy and he was a loving companion until recently..


clip-
"People always say, 'It's how you raise a dog that matters.' And I was one of those people. And I do believe to a certain extent that's true. But animals have an instinct they can't overpower and that's what happened with my dog."




..
It is NOT normal for a dog to go after a family member someone who is part of their pack.



.

Rottweilers kill over 300 people every year liar, your not intitled to your fear filled facts.

Read the post directly above yours. The women got the dog as a puppy, the dog slept with her and then later ate her arm off!



.

Educate yourself! Many pages of examples of Rotts alone. These are ANIMALS inclusive of the bully breeds and the aggressive chiahuahuas. ALL animals should be treated and respected as such. It's not the breed.

Yes, the article proves my point: dogs are animals...pack animals. The owner allowed the dog to be the alpha (of the pack) rather than commanding this position herself through proper training and dog ownership...regardless of breed.

Yes, it is if they are establishing pack hierarchy and especially in the case of an owner NOT establishing ALPHA position over the dog or dogs (pack).

.

Indeed. Still my favorite statement in this thread is the "some dogs have a psychotic break".

Still laughing over such ignorance.

.

This is called cherry picking.

Post all the dog bites, every single one or stats, like I did.

I've seen many dogs attack unprovoked.

I guess it's your ignorance. or inexperience.

Your belief that animals must be provoked to attack, defend, protect shows your ignorance and inexperience, not mine.

Perhaps you also falsely believe animals operate with the same higher executive functioning brain of a human?



.

Yeah, but very few dog breeds are going to rip your arm off or try to kill you for messing that up. They may snap or even bite, which is bad, yes, but they usually stop almost immediately.

Pits don't stop.

No, it's not "cherry picking". It's a response to the exact request made. Read the exchange. I marked the request in red for you. ^^^^

Bingo! The truth is all dogs bite!! My parents raised dachshunds, poodles for money they were breeders. Been around animals all my life and i can tell you with absolute certainty they will all bite your ass!
Had a shetlend pony that would bite anyone who didnt know how to ride it. Ive been bitten by fish, snakes, birds, dogs, lizards, racoons, even a child will bite your ass if your a prick!

If we were all to rid ourselves of everything that might bite us we would all perish from the earth! FACT!

The trick is to be wiser than the animals God gave you dominion over! Everything will bite you! Even plants eat meat! FFS grow a pair along with your life lessons so that you live long and are fruitful on the earth. Being scared of everything that can sink a tooth into your ass means you have childlike understanding.

SAYS THE ONE WHO ASSOCIATES HIMSELF AS 'PART OF THE PACK'.

Cherry picking, you posted a few stories.

You need to post as many as you see for pits, which would be a few hundred examples. See words in bold, Other dogs aren't going around killing people like Pits do. .

And I don't see one article about a Chihuahua killing someone.

Yes, indeed, an owner must establish him/herself as the alpha over the pack. Why? Because this is how PACK ANIMALS behave...not from the logic, reasoning and decision-making of the prefrontal cortex of a human brain.

If you own one or more, you are considered by the dog(s) to be part of the pack, and you better damn well take the alpha-leader role if you want to be safe and have a trained dog(s).

One must understand and be knowledgeable in the animal's instinct and behavior and train accordingly.

You again demonstrate your ignorance in the subject, which puts you at risk around animals.

.

I THINK I DIRECTED THAT AT THE WRONG PERSON.

BUT NO.

WE ARE ABOVE THE PACK.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

MAKING YOURSELF PART OF THE PACK LEAVES YOU TO BE CHALLENGED.

Whatever words you want to use to describe the hierarchy doesn't change the dog's perception to the training and command. I command the pack as alpha, which makes me part of the pack as seen by the dogs.

One could as easily make a similar philosophical argument that placing oneself "outside the pack" also opens one to be challenged.

Command the dog(s) as alpha. Full stop.
