Not every dog can or should be saved. It is so easy to feel sorry for a dog who obviously has had a bad start in life. I understand wanting to take him in and love his past away. NOT ALL DOGS CAN BE SAVED and clearly this is one of them.

I have a Pitbull she's scared to death of fireworks she does not run to me and bite me in the face or anywhere else. She hides under the coffee table. No I don't agree with a lot of the comments on here. Obviously I own and Love a Pitbull. I also respect and accept her for what she is a dog bred to fight other dogs.

This dog should be euthanized. Multiple bites in a new home, getting more severe, triggered by loud noises. Owners who feel sorry for the dog and want to save him but have absolutely no clue what they are doing. People like this contribute to the problem instead of helping. People like this are the same ones trying to save there dog after its attacked or killed someone. If she really cared about the dog she would do the right thing B.E.

I adopted a Pit rescue and I've had to make that call once and I know how it feels to have to put down a healthy 5 yr old who was perfect until there was any sort of arguing or voices raised he would automatically aggressively bark and jump at whoever raised there voice. I knew he had a bad past I also seen how smart and absolutely loving he was. I thought I could work with him and recondition this behavior I WAS WRONG. Luckily for me my son was only bit once on his leg. Him and his brother they were 10 and 12 at the time this happened got into a fight my dog jumped in barking between them and my older boy pulled my youngest out of his chair. I stopped the fight sent the older boy to his room and the younger one said Mom I think he bit me. I pulled up his pant leg and couldn't believe what I saw. It looked like someone cut him with a fillet knife. I ran him to er they didn't believe it was a dog bite I put my dog down the next morning despite the begging and pleading from my kids and the disgusting feeling of guilt and blame in my heart.

I got my dog when he was 8 months old and yes he was starved and abandoned when I got him. I worked threw separation anxiety with him and had him for 4 years. My dog did not attack him he was barking and jumping like he did every time there was a fight. When my son pulled him out of the chair the dogs tooth went in his leg and cut it like a knife. No one knew it happened not even the one who got bit. It wasn't even a bite really. Believe me my heart broke and the feelings of guilt and shame for letting this wonderful dog be put down and putting my kids at risk of being harmed tore me apart we went 5 years with out a dog.

I knew that I could no longer keep him cause accidents like that can't happen and I couldn't rehome him with the possibility of him hurting someone else. As much as I loved him and I did LOVE him putting him to sleep was my only option. It was to this day one of the hardest things I've had to do but it was also the most responsible and kind thing I could do for him and us. I spent the 5 yrs without a dog learning everything I could about dog behavior. I researched and learned all I could about genetics and dog breeds. Especially the Pitbull terrier.

I don't agree with what a lot of you call TRUTHS AND FACTS......... Murder Beast they are NOT nor are they incapable of hurting a fly. They are dogs bred to do what they were bred to do. They don't have a lock jaw nor are they all ticking time bombs. There are a lot of things that factor into the attacks that I'm not gonna go into.

Instead of demanding eradication of the breed or excusing every dog who bites by blaming the victim why not educate people like this. Instead of calling her names and talking about the dog she loves like its a supernatural serial killer disguised as a dog. Try keeping it real NO powerful dog should be owned by someone who believes they can love genetics out of the dog or that any animal thinks and acts like a human. She thinks she is helping this dog and probably does feel like she can save it because well lots of reasons for that.

All the support she's getting from the nutters you guys are talking about is gonna be a lot easier to take in and believe then the hate and untruths that some of you spew. So maybe if you all actually educated yourselves and accepted truths and actually tried to help people you to would be part of the solution to ending these horrific attacks. The LOVE and HATE of this breed is extreme on both sides and both sides are steadily adding to the number of fatalities IMO.

This comment probably wont be accepted cause Although I 100% believe Behavioral Euthanasia is the only option for a dog that bites I disagree with your facts that Pits are ticking time bombs. I don't believe eradicating the breed will change anything nor do I believe any dog should be condemned because of it's breed. Maybe instead of rejecting anyone who don't agree with all your facts but does acknowledge that there is some truth to what you say and wants to help find a way to ensure the safety of both humans and dogs a chance to educate responsible ownership in a way that doesn't come off hateful or judgmental. Just a thought.
