"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. [Reply]
Oh look, it's that time of the year when Clay comes around to remind us how much of a wimp he is. Must be that dead time in the offseason. Like clockwork. [Reply]

I'm a wimp because I drove away from a high-risk situation and reported the law being broken?
I'd be a FUCKING IDIOT around these parts to do anything else.

So...not a Pit. Just a dog. Got it.
"A Dog" (Not a pit) barked at your dog, so you ran off (and we've all seen you run) to your car. Someone came to apologize, but you're such a wimp that you locked your door, ignored him, sped off and then called animal control.
That's just so hilariously gay. Good for you, man. Good for you. Living your best life. [Reply]

The dog did not "bark" at my dog. It was coming AT me. It was a strange animal off the leash presenting a threat.
I've learned my lesson FIVE fucking times now. I'll gladly be labeled GAY with a dog that's ALIVE. [Reply]
Yeah dogs don't typically respond well to nervous, wimpy beta energy. It makes them nervous, like something's fucking wrong with you.
Either way, still a hilarious mental picture. 40-something year old wimpy soy boy booking it across the park, titties flapping around...cargo shorts and flip flops and that dorky run of yours...jumping into your car, locking the door and speeding off.
You musta looked so wimpy that another grown ass man had to come check on you :-):-):-)
And then you locked the door and sped off. Probably had some desperate, crazed look in your eye too. BWAHAHA oh man. Too funny.
Dude was probably like, "Are you ok, ma'am? Im so sorry". And you were all, "No! Leave me the fuck alone im horrified im calling animal control!".

Holy shit you dumb fuck I was walking down the street minding my own business.
Copper went off and here comes the brute to "play." Heart fucking pounding as I scramble to get the dog in the car and get the fuck out of there before my dog's throat is torn out.
Again, i ask, was it a long run? Did you sweat? [Reply]

I didn't ask you about "another pit attack". I asked you about your recent harrowing encounter with death.
Im sorry, you must still be suffering from PTSD after such a traumatic experience. So much so that you're having difficulties keeping your stories straight.
But seriously clay, im glad to see you made it out alive from that (not-a-pit) dog charge-almost-attack.
Wipe the tears from your eyes. You're ok now. Everything is gonna be ok. You're in a safe space. [Reply]

I don't care, dipshit. I'm going to do what I have to do to defend my family. [Reply]
