"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]

How does my net worth have anything to do with my statement? Is this a dick measuring contest on financial stability?
I could not afford the mortgage on my house at its current price. I would not be able to fund my retirement or live the standard I am currently living. I know this because we were looking into buying another house and renting this one out.
I could not afford the mortgage on a 400k house with this interest. Does that clear it up for you?
We can have a dick measuring contest, but I have a feeling we’d both lose. [Reply]
Man there are some fucked up pitbull videos out there. Saw one where the pit finally "let go" because someone was pulling it from behind. Just had to take the poor dog's arm off with it. :-) [Reply]
I rarely encounter nasty dogs when I am delivering doordash, but German Sheppards and Pits are the 2 that have gone after me. I had a German actually bite me through my jeans and I had a pit try and jump though a double paned door to try and get me. [Reply]

You thinking about dressing as a dog toy for Halloween? [Reply]

Are you sure it was a pitbull? It might have been a Grendel. [Reply]

Have I mentioned that when I sprint past Xavier Glenn Worthy after a Sunday Morning 4.3 friendly contest that one (only one) bead of sweat trickles down freshly shaved head, makes it past the absorption want of my goatee only to be consumed by fiery, hunger of my chest hair?
I can't believe this one didn't make it - right here in KC recently. I REALLY love dogs, but I think it's time to rethink the pit bull thing. I do not know this family, but I also linked the go fund me page which has a hopeful update.
