That's terrible.

What immediately caught my eye wasn't the breed of the dog, it was this:

Janiah Allen was playing outside when the Pit Bull/Rottweiler mix named Grizzly broke off his chain

I also caught the fact that there is no proof of rabies vaccine. Meaning that the dog hasn't been vetted, either. Seems to be a recurrent theme in most dog attacks, huh.

I did catch the breed first since attacks like this often are the reason that lawmakers jump on the ban wagon. (Pun intended.)

This is terrible, and it's true that it appears the owner was not looking after the dog well enough (and that the dog had been harrassed). However since we will never get enough info on the case we can't really make assumptions about anything.

That poor girl, I hope she recovers soon and doesn't grow to hate or fear all dogs.

The thing that kills me about these stories is the lack of containment of the dogs and the lack of supervision for the children...sad.
