"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.

It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.

The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.

"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."

How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).

I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts.

I have a new rescue that came out of the womb biting and growling. He's an aggressive breed and guess what? He's aggressive. Fortunately he only weighs 5 pounds.
There is a Armenian family that lives down the block from me. They have this fucking chihuahua that they just let roam wherever in the neighborhood trying to terrorize anything it can. Chases cars, charges and chases people walking down the street. Gets pepper sprayed by the mailman and still comes back for more. Little fucker is relentless day in and day out. I'm surprised the little fucker hasn't been run over yet tbh.

Here comes me and through the years the little fucker has realized I'm not the one and wants no part of me. Saw him chasing the mailman the other day as I was pulling out of the driveway. I stopped, got out and simply told the motherfucker to shut up and go the fuck home. He stops in his tracks, looks at me and turns around and goes home.

I'm betting if it were a pit bull it wouldn't have taken my words to heed. It would have rather had some lead instead.

Exactly. Our little shit listens when you raise your voice. He's testing dominance and if you show him verbally you mean business, he backs off. A bigger dog might just choose to test that boundary physically.

If he were even 10 pounds heavier, he might be a bit dangerous. We wouldn't be keeping him at all if he were 30-40 pounds bigger. He would be dangerous.

That's because every slap dick that owns one of these killing machines thinks they can make a few bucks by breeding them even though they have no idea what they're doing. The shelters here are FULL of unwanted pit bulls because people don't realize what they're getting into when they get one.

My wife and I are dog lovers and own our own pet sitting business since 07. We used to take all breeds, but had to stop taking pitts and German shepherds do to their nature and at the advice of our insurance agent. They told us that we would not be covered if one of them attacked us or another dog.

Pit's represent the vast number of dog attack and it's not just the owners. this lady probably did everything in her power to care for these animals and they still mauled her and killed those kids when the switch went off.
Then don't have little kids around them. Do you own a gun? I do, I own several. They are in a gun safe. Point is, if something is or can be dangerous, then take the appropriate measures so that people aren't hurt or killed.

I fucking hate chihuahuas. My idiot BIL has one. Brings the nasty little fucker to the FIL's house for holidays. I was sitting on the couch one Christmas and it jumped up next to me so I started petting it. After a few minutes it nipped me for no reason. I wanted to punt it across the room.

Ours had Parvo at 6 weeks. He's fortunate to be alive. That being said, I think the whole experience just strengthened his resolve. He's going to be hell to train but we'll get it done. I've only ever had to give up 2 dogs (we rescue a lot of animals) that we rescued for aggressiveness and they were both much larger.

My dog days are long since over. I don't have to walk my cats on a leash when it's 95 degrees outside or there's two feet of snow on the ground. Plus they don't try to eat our houseguests.

We currently have 4 dogs and 13 cats (most of the cats are outdoors). I raised my kids wrong I guess because we will take in pretty much anything nobody else wants. :-)

I see what you mean, but comparing guns which are inanimate objects that are only harmful when mishandled to a dog like that is completely different.

That's where we are. Once our 2 dogs are gone, we're not getting any more pets. The way our business works, we never really know when we can get away. We want to be able to take off for a couple days when we have the chance without worrying about our dogs

I’m still genuinely curious what the appeal of a pit bull is that you choose to get one over any of the other options out there less prone to violent aggression. And I mean appeal of the dog, not owners stubbornness or desire to say they have one of the good pit bulls.

I submitted this into the "Are you Alpha" thread.

Lew will post results soon.

I can only speak from personal experience but around here, people want pits for all of the traits normal people DON'T want.

In other words, they get a pit because they want an aggressive, alpha dog. Honesty, for most around here, pits are just like tattoos. It's a symbol of "street tough".

I will admit I've kicked and smacked dogs before. I don't want to, and I take zero pleasure in it (well, that's a lie on a very few occasions).

I work in at least 150-200 houses every year. You run into every kind of animal owner, and their shitbag pets.

If they actively attack my hands or ankles, they get dealt with. It's better they catch one strong slap or kick early, find out I'm not to be fucked with, and leave me alone.

It's happened very few times, but damn.
