Pitbulls…poor baby boy!!!! 😢
The city needs to outlaw pitbulls
What will it take for a nationwide ban on pit bulls???? The pit bull cult has blood on its hands.
Rip baby boy im so so so sorry this happened to you little man.
This breed was an attack dog check ✔️ the history…war dog…😢
Pit… right
If it’s not the breed, and it’s the owner, then let’s charge the owner with murder.
I was the caretaker for a pit bull for about a year – I'm a responsible adult & had a close and loving relationship with him. That being said, whenever I found myself in public with him I felt like I was playing Russian Roulette. Our society would be a better & safer place if this breed was non-existent.
Dog owner should be arrested
Hope that these dog owners get sued, charged, etc.
Owner responsibility, now the poor dog is going to pay the price for a negligent, irresponsible owner. May they child rip.
Every, single person seeing this title thought the same thing: Pitbull. And they were right as we can see from the captured dog in the cage.
This is horribly tragic, and I can't even imagine the grief of the family or the unspeakably violent end to the life of that poor baby.
Any time such an unforgivable event occurs (and they happen all too often), the owner of the animal should absolutely be charged with first-degree murder and punished accordingly. This is insane.
pit bulls say the name right even dogs are woke now
GOD, Jesus and the Holy Ghost
Why was he outside by his self he's a baby he's four
Im tryna tell you these dogs aint dogs no more. They are guard towers. I hate saying it but its true. By the way i can only imagine how the fences look that was holding the dog. RIP. Tis why i watch myself at all times.
I can almost guarantee it wasnt a basset hound…….
All those guns and no one could shoot that dog? Lazy.
This is why I hate dogs, whether they are dangerous or not.
Had a Pit Bull as an older kid, They are dangerous animals if they have issues, not good to have around kids.
WHY ARE PITBULLS SO RACIST!? THIS DOESNT HAPPEN TO WHITE KIDS!!!
And also irresponsible mothers and parents these are irresponsible people you can tell they're in the hood irresponsible completely for that boy to be more like that it took a long time and where was the people smoking
60 years ago you never heard of this because people didn't have pitbulls in their homes everywhere they just had like shepherds and other dogs like that but when they have to come to dangerous dogs pitbulls Doberman Pinschers and Rottweilers that's a whole different thing and that's where we're living today that's where the thing is all these thug neighborhoods with all these pit bulls and it's the and they make the dogs they don't take them out those dogs
They're not talking about chihuahuas a German shepherds or any of those it's usually pitbulls 100% of the time pitbull mixes they are the ones that continue to bite when they
Horrible
Banning pit bulls is the answer. Ontario has banned them for decades.
What, Pit bulls? Go figure.
The owners are lucky that the parents are pacifists…
Pitbull? Yes.
I hate pit bulls 😡
pit bull what a surprise
Ya know it was a pitbull!
They don’t train their kids to behave in public, think they going to train a dog?
Dogs should be illegal to have, from yorkys to pitbulls. ban them all.
BOTTOM BOTTOM BOTTOM!!!
Pitbull?
