An Indiana man was killed by his Pet Pit Bull Christmas Day and was discovered by his wife returning from shopping and viewed the gory scene. The attack was probably triggered by the Pit defending his Chew Toy they had bought him for Christmas. Animal Control officers had to tazer him to get him out of the house. He was later euthanized. Unfortunately this is very common with this breed to eventually challenge and attack or kill family members. Go to www.fatalpitbullattacks.com. This information is useful due to the high numbers of pit bulls and pit mixes being adopted out in our area. 4951

I agree this breed can do a lot of damages but so can german shephards, rotweillers, and malmuts etc. It is how they are raised is the key to controlling this breed.  4951

Doddlebug does more damage than anything. Throws in drama like getting killed over New Christmas toys which no story I found says. Then says so many being adopted in our area should read the fake stats in hopes they won't adopt. I However did read the wife admits the dog had been aggressive in the past weeks.  So no he didn't just wake up one morning  and decide to turn on his owners. There were signs, signs that were ignored. 4951

@Burnsway:
 
That is probably true, but none of those you mentioned are household pets.

@jax: Any breed even a toy poodle or Pomeranian and even as a household pet can KILL...if a dog has bitten 3 times and shown extreme aggression and you still allow them around other people and in your bed your gonna one day GET YOUR *** ATTACKED. regardless the breed. Stupid is as stupid does...its not a breed issue. I sympathize with the family but the dog has bitten THREE FAMILY MEMBERS in the past...He should have never been allowed free range of the home and furniture,,,he should have been in serious boot camp or put down. Its that simple. Regardless the breed, They knew he was dangerous and allowed him to carry on and unfortunately paid the price.

Doddlebug, pits are the most loyal pets there are. They're also great with kids and other dogs. There are some bad ones, and because of their sqtrength they do damage. I'm sorry you are unfamiliar with the breed, but please don't feed the media hysteria. It's unfair to the majority of Pitbulls. 4951

@Burnsway:
 
I will agree with the stupidity of the owner but once again, those others you mentioned are NOT household pets.
 
 
@jax: no, they are just everyday activities that turn deadly when precautions are not taken just like everyday pets can kill when responsibility is ignored. And sometimes even when all things are done right , bad things happen.....including death. My point is scare tactics with false facts will not prevent death by a dog......only true education will reduce the risk and screaming all pit bulls will maul you is not true education....it's a knee jerk reaction to media over kill on drama reporting for ratings.

@jax: I have posted several links in the past of dogs under 20 pounds who have killed along with death by almost all breeds that have killed. Apparently you didn't read them so I won't waste my time on posting them again. Don't like the breed, don't get one but don't add to the lies and false rumors.

@Burnsway:
 
I'm just looking for the one that killed its owner on Christmas. The article of the pit mauling its owner is not a lie or false rumor. Or is it?

@jax: ....over a few thousand people died for a few thousand reasons on Christmas day......this was a story that sold and if some other breed killed their owner on Christmas day , we probably wouldn't hear about it.....not a money maker or rating boost for media..I'm sure several kids were killed on Chicago streets on Christmas but if one black kid was killed by a white cop on Christmas day....guess what story media would report. .....does that mean the other didn't happen.....see how that works????
