Every link I pulled up area wise doesn't say breed but some say "believed" to be pits.
None had pictures of dogs.
The new York times and dogbite.org name them pits. The kid was 5 according to all articles I found. It was not a stray pack attack.
The dogs were confined in a pen. The boy has had several heart surgeries since he was a baby. Mom and dad were visiting friends and one thought the other had the boy when he wondered off alone and was later found in the pen dead with bites. No one saw an attack.
I couldnt figure out if the penned dogs belonged to the friend they were visiting or a neighbor. Looks no charges will be filed because the dogs were confined properly.
Many breeds will attack if their property is invaded, not JUST pits. This is why I asked duddlebug for a link to the poster who said google....I wanted to know what link she was reading since she didnt give details or proper age. 4951
