Girl's arm reattached after pit bull mauled her in Detroit backyard
 

Limb removal, the specialty of the ol' dog of peace.


DETROIT, MI - Medical authorities were able to reattach the arm of a 10-year-old girl mauled Saturday afternoon by a pit bull, Detroit police reported.

Doctors also saved the girl's foot, Officer Jennifer Moreno said.

"It is a positive outlook for her, they said," Moreno reported.

The girl, however, remains in "very critical condition" at St. John Hospital in Detroit.

She was in a backyard about 1:15 p.m. June 17 on Beaconsfield Street on the east side of the city when the dog left the house and attacked her.

An aunt tried to stop the animal, but she too was attacked. She had leg injuries and required emergency surgery.

The dog remains in the custody of Detroit Animal Control. It is to be quarantined for 10 days as state law dictates, Moreno said.

If the owner disputes its destruction, the court decides what happens to the dog after a hearing.

Police are working with animal control and Humane Society officials to investigate the incident; the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office will make any determination on possible charges, Moreno said.

"Why is this dog allowed to stay here when we already have a history of the dog being vicious?" Chief James Craig said, according to WDIV-TV, Channel 4.

According to police, the dog was quarantined last year after an attack on a DTE worker, the news station is reporting.

"Dog people" ain't the smartest of the bunch ...

Obviously we all know that pit bulls are just lovable little balls of fur that never attack unprovoked... and even though dogs are bred for certain traits from physical to behavioral, we know because GFY users tell us its fact, that a couple centuries of breeding them to fight has nothing to do with anything.

We need to take a hard look as a society at this little girl to understand how she is to blame for this.

You obviously feel the same about guns ?

This just in: House Votes To Overturn Rule Restricting Gun Sales To Pit Bulls. Watch Story.

Problem is partly that the breed has certain tendencies...but the major problem is that thebreed attracts the wrong types of owners. Macho, little dick douche-bags/gangstas who need a pit bull as an accessory to their persona. They have no business raising an animal that needs an attentive, alpha owner who knows what he's doing.

It depends on the genetic history of the dog.

Pitbulls living in ghettos tend to be a problem because there is so much dog fighting there. The dogs are bred as fighting dogs, but some are sold as house pets and that fighting dog line reproduces from there.

Whereas a pitbull living in a million dollar community probably doesn't have any fighting dogs in its AKC bloodline.

paint chips for breakfast? or you just trolling?

All types of people whom own dogs. They aren't a 'type'.


this is probably true, but pitbulls are not registered within the AKC.

Apparently they are registered with the AKC as the American Staffordshire Terrier.

Ok, so it's nature and nurture.

I rest my big dick on the forehead of all pitbull haters...

Are you suggesting someone pointed a loaded pit bull at her and pulled the trigger?
