Pit Bull Attacks Grandmother And Child

Pit Bull Attacks Grandmother And Child
» 13 Comments | Post a Comment

A woman is recovering this morning after getting injured fighting the family pit bull off her one-year-old grandchild.


It happened in Washington County, Tennessee… just south of Cherokee Road… in the 200 block of Spice Hollow Road.
That’s in the Hidden Valley Trailer Park.


The Sheriff’s Office says the grandmother “got the worst of it.“ The dog bit her several times, and she suffered more than two-dozen puncture wounds.
Her one-year-old granddaughter is okay, she escaped with one minor bite.


Animal control seized the dog, and cited the family for being behind on their vaccinations.

hey 123, what you posted about keeping large dogs away from small children is complete crap!  If you knew anything about dogs at all you would know what you said was not true at all. If you are the leader of the pack..no dog big or small will ever be a problem. If your dog hates small kids..you have the problem, not the dog. There are large breed dogs that are bred to be around kids..how do you explain that one? Before you post, know what you are talking about.

Large dogs should be kept away from small children. I have a mixed breed dog who tried to attack my youngest grandson every time he came around. Now that he is bigger the dog doesn’t bother him, but alpha males seem to find small children threatening and should be kept away.This is true for all breeds.

If the media sees it proper to tell us that a “Pit Bull” bit someone, should not the media tell us about all dog bites?  If not, why not?
