Taunton, Massachusetts: An 11 year old boy getting on a school bus yesterday was grabbed from behind by his back pack and bitten by yes, another pitbull!
his father was bitten also trying to get the dog off of the boy on his hands. The boy received nine stitches to his side (stomach) and the father had his hand treated. When the police went to the dogs owners house the dog tried attacking the cops and was shot to death. Unfortunately, we all know it is the owners fault for the way these dogs get brought up. But something seriously needs to be done with this popular breed and precautions need to be taken. I don't believe in banning the breed from citys and towns but serious fines need to be put on the owners if there dog attacks (any dog). I also feel that if a dog bites a person once it shouldn't be given another chance. Here in massachusetts where I live dogs get a three bite chance the third time they have to get euthanized. This pit had already bitten once and now look what happened! I love the bully breeds but there are to many owners that just don't have a clue!!
