"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]

copper in the backyard going crazy, i'd say he's lucky that pit had just eaten a cat or something
Goddamn dude. Give it a fucking rest. You don’t need to prove to the board every dat that you are a huge pussy and your mutt has a poor owner. You are intentionally making every situation dramatic and eventually someone is going to either kick the shit out of you or kill you with your own gun. [Reply]

"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.
Sent them an anonymous letter too, what a fucking puss. [Reply]

Probably the wrong thread to bump for this rant, but I don't care right now because I'm pissed.
A coworker is leaving early to put her dog down... and she isn't even sticking around to comfort the dog at the vet's office.
If you know anyone who works at a vet's office, they'll be the first to tell you, when a pet is being put down, they almost always scramble and plead, looking for their owner/family.
If you don't have the stomach to comfort your dog aka your family through thick and thin, then don't have an animal. Some people are fucking pathetic and lack any remote amount of decency.
PSA: If you have to put down your pet, PLEASE be with them in their final moments, because they will look for you to be there for that last vestige of comfort and care. [Reply]

Selfish, pathetic assholes man. An animal gives you it's life and you can't burden yourself to be with it in it's final moments because it makes you feel uncomfortable. Absolutely fucking pathetic. [Reply]
