Maulface Alert: 11yo Boy attacked by Aunt’s Therapy Dog

I hope those pussies kill the damn dog.

Is he a rescue dog?

Cue the pitbull apologists in 3, 2, 1 ....

Only trash have pits.

W&W for "maulface alert."

She's distraught because she's without her therapy dog. I wonder if the boy is distraught without his mother to comfort him.

What a nightmare scenario. Lose your mother, move in with your aunt who keeps a freaking pit bull for an emotional support dog, and then be brutally attacked.

More clicks for Murdoch. Great.

Post a link for a non-paywalled article then, R7.

And of course she's blaming the kids.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Stop blaming the dog! My therapy lion is no threat to anybody either.

The aunt thinks the boys (11yo twins) must have overwhelmed the poor dog. There is even a picture of the cute nanny dog (great for child care). Every family should have one.

I think people that own these dogs should be arrested and jailed when this happens. I know we tend to imprison too many people in this country, but the owners need to be held responsible when they choose to keep dangerous animals like this. Any dog can bite, but not all dogs are as unpredictable as pit bulls nor as capable of causing serious injury.

The Pit Bull lobby is perplexing, like the T lobby they’ve become strangely powerful.

I'm sure she's (rightfully) distraught about the situation, but "therapy dog" and "support dog" are increasingly meaningless terms that are misused to get regular dogs past landlords and business-owners.

Why was she not at the hospital with the kid?

Ah yes, you're the real victim aren't you?

I just saw an advertisement on youtube where you can sign-up, pay a fee, and a doctor will provide you with the documentation to certify your pet is a "support" or "therapy" animal so you can take it on planes and into restaurants and other areas that are normally restricted to pets.

R5 I did the same thing.

Put this cunt and her psycho dog in a cell together, for life. Don't let them out. Society would be safer and better off.

The pit bull apologists are out there, trying to convince us these dogs are misunderstood, and oh, so friendly. "Maulface" is right.

Auntie needs to listen to that old song ‘Thin Line Between Love and Hate’. Poor dog. I hope the damn brats will fully recover with some common sense and compassion about how better to interact with the animal kingdom, because the dog is toast.

R16- that’s a rip off. You can get your vet and therapist to do that for free.

[quote]Poor dog.

Seriously?

R22 Trouble recognizing sarcasm?

Aries is an odd name for a pit bull, even if they meant the zodiac sign. You couldn’t know the difference in just hearing it, so I would have assumed they named this dog after the god of fucking war.

r23 I hope so, can never be sure around here though
