Pit Bulls attack Lake Worth toddler

[Ole Greg]

Owned 3 boxer over the past 18 years, sweet, loyal, and they don't hold grudges. They don't bite unless aggravated. I don't believe this story.

Sure looked like Pits on the news when it showed them being taken away. Real high class people. The grandfather came up and attatched the camera man and the grandma attacked a neighbor and was arrested. ON CAMERA no less.

it went over your head. but I appreciate your chart.

LOL. I sensed a bit a sarcasm, but it didn't make it through my monitor.

That list can't be legit. Dalmations aren't on it, and they're fucking pricks!

I was also wondering about Doberman's. Those dogs can be schitzo.

FWIW, I saw the news story this evening with an over head look at the dogs... They damn sure weren't boxers and were most likely PB's with (gasp) ears.

Now it is a Pit Attack

Uh oh... damn media transforming boxers into pitbulls again...

An 18-month-old boy is hospitalized in the Fort Worth area after pit bulls in his family's back yard attacked him.

A spokesman for the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office says authorities were called to a home near the town of Lakeside Monday afternoon. The wounded boy was quickly found and taken to an area hospital, where he remains in serious condition.

Spokesman Terry Grisham says the boy's grandfather keeps seven pit bulls at the home. At least four dogs are believed to have attacked the boy outside the home.

No one has been charged in the attack.

One neighbor was taken into custody after a scuffle outside the home. Grisham says several neighbors have expressed anger about the dogs, but authorities are still investigating whether there have been previous attacks.

<-- has an Akita that loves my 5 yr old.... and would protect her even if it killed her (the dog, not my daughter).

It's not the breed, but the owner. (LMAO at pug)

In after all the "My Boxer is a wonderful family pet and would never hurt a flea" BS. ITS CAUSE THEY HAVE TEEF!!!

[Mike]

That is odd. The boxers that I have been around have been psychotically protective of children, even ones that they don't know. Never heard of one hurting a child before.

That's exactly how mine is. I couldn't imagine him becoming aggressive toward a child.

[71chevellejohn]

Probably Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield

Tyson does have a history of biting.
