Most likely, because people do not raise them properly,

And that's the ONLY reason they do such things.

Because of breeds such as chows, pit bulls, rotties and so on and their built and muscles, people use them as weapons and don't treat them as living beings. They treat them as property, without feelings. In reality, dogs have as much feelings as humans do, whether it be pit bull or labrador.

Yeah but that's the thing. Its because people don't raise them properly that they cause damage and harm to others, but people don't realize that. When they hear a pit bull did this and a rottie did that on the news all the time, that's the message they're getting. I don't blame them........its not their fault. They don't know how the dogs were raised. They only know that they did this and did that, and its very often done by the same few breeds.

Wolfsoul, no, its not the complete opposite. I wasn't talking about bites. I was talking about damaging bites.........

Camcam, homeless people can't afford to care for themselves, let alone a dog. Its clear that that kid isn't any homeless. That's a silly argument. (ps. I know you're joking)

But, I'm still not clear on this. bear with me i'm slow
Don't you think you'd wake up if something was biting off your fingers?

[Soledad]

Not if your entire life side was paralyzed, meaning WITHOUT feeling.

That is a very false statement.. I know plenty of people who are homeless and have dogs.. The dogs are much more cared for then the owners.. like i said i was joking until people turned it around.. your right its a stupid argument but like i said did they ever say in there that they werent homeless? ok done..

Oh, okies lol. But either way, it's such a rare occurence, but the media makes it seem like people die from dog bites from pits and rotties every day. It's just like shark attacks. You're 10 times as likely to get struck by lightening than attacked by a shark, but the media over-portrays it.

OH DEAR! hits self on stupid side of head
My mistake. I read too quickly. I read that he was left paralyzed for some reason, not that he was paralyzed before.

Now the story makes much more sense to me and is plausible.

how'd miss that?

[Soledad]

Don't worry, I do it too. I'm an overly eager reader.

The story says

caused numbness in his left hand.

Which sounds like he wasn't COMPLETELY paralyzed, but couldn't feel much.

And in most cases of numbness, you may not be able to feel pain, but you can definatly feel. If I has a puppy chewing on my "numb" hand I think I'd feel it. And you would also think that the puppy would brush another part of the kid and wake him up. You know how dogs grab bones with their front paws and chew? That kind of thing. I don't buy the story a bit.

[Soledad]

I think we'd have to know this individual's medical history to know the level of numbness, etc. Add that to the fact that little kids sleep HARD, they have more REM sessions as a child than ever in their adult lives.

[popcornbird]

Slight numbness, maybe you can feel a bit, but extreme numbness................nope, you can't feel a thing. When they use anesthesia on patients when doing a surgery, it makes the patients NUMB, and they cannot feel the surgery, no matter how much the doctors cut them open, until the effect is gone.

Still I stand by my original opinion, the YOUNG child should NOT have such a YOUNG puppy.
