Another girl mauled to death by dog.

[imp]

I had to jump in and shoot two views on a Rotti who weighed in around 140 Monday. Suspected a fracture in lower limb but no clear indicators, no muzzle. Very easy going and well trained dog but still full of that characteristic assertiveness and 'being in front' for lack of a better term. Great family pet..but would I ever consider a Rott or like breed in my home or around a child, no f'n way.

It really is how you raise them, I've had no problems with my Rotti thus far with people or children.

I think the big problem is rotties and pitbulls in particular attract the macho, "gangsta" wanna be types who aren't doing the responsible things. Because these are big dogs with massive stopping power who can do real bad things when they aren't brought up right.

Mine is a great family dog, gets along with kids, my siblings, my folks, ect.

I get what your saying bean, but i must say this is sometimes the typical answer from a caring dog owner. (Like yourself)

The only issue is all the other hundreds of stories we dont hear about and some we do hear about from caring owners.

I could happily get a pitbull or rottie or that huge type panther monster in the picture above, but only if it lived with me and me only.

No matter how much you think you know an animal or love an animal there is nothing from stopping it from turning at any moment!

Every creature on this earth has free will. One of Gods greatest gifts

Only takes a few seconds for permanent scarring or death.

How would you justify a situation if your dog did snap next week and attacked alittle girl?
