I am sorry for her, but her dogs hould not have been loose. I have two cats and they dont even go outside without a leash. Like I tell my children , Pets are a resposibility that they have to accept if they want them. Then they have to respect them and what they are capable of. My oldest daughter is eight. She is very smart. She has actually looked into the pros and cons on the internet and everything. She overheard me and her dad talking about the breed and couldn't understand why he didn't like them.She knows that every dog large or small can be aggressive. It doesnt matter on the breed, There isn't one out there that is documented as non biting. Pitties are just in the media more. And the only reason that is , is because irresponsible owners give thema bad name. Now, if an eight year old can understand that ,then why cant everyone else.
