What do you want people to say?

She owned a pit bull, she was attacked and died.

It is sad but a risk she was clearly willing to take.

I don't know what you want people to say.

I love dogs. Love mine, love others. I am dog lover. What am I suppose to be saying in this thread that apparently as a dog lover I should have started?

Don't know how this women's dog was raised.
But my experience in general, is that how a dog behaves, is due its owner.

If the owner's fragile ego demands they own a vicious attack dog, that is what they will raise.

We have baby sat an adult pit bull for a week at a time, and it was one the most gentle, affectionate, smart dogs I have experienced.

With a young child on the floor, he would crawl over to the child, so as to not scare it.

This without any training to do so, so we can't put all pit bulls in the same bucket, just as we can't put all people of any race, cultures in the same bucket, good and bad in every one of them.

Actually, we can put pitbulls, as a breed, all in the same bucket. Simply based on their well documented history of vicious, unpredictable, and typically unprovoked attacks. If this dog can randomly attack and kill it's owner, it is capable doing the same to other unsuspecting individuals and pets. It is a far too dangerous breed for domestication, and as such should be eradicated from the pet population. The same reasoning is typically used to explain why cat lovers shouldn't try to domesticate newborn bobcats. The instinct to hunt and kill is just to strong in the breed, which makes it too dangerous to be a pet.

Saying a pitbull's violent behavior is generally due to how its owner treats it is naive in the extreme. And I do wish humans would stop referring to dumb animals like dogs in the same context as other humans. They are animals, not humans, regardless of your emotional attachment to them. They do NOT have the same rights as humans do, and have their proper place on the evolutionary ladder.

Women in particular, who refer to and treat their dogs as their 'fur babies', as if they indeed were equal to human babies, are frankly pathetic.

I have fur babies. I love them like family. I wish they had more rights then just thought as property.

I think pit bulls are dangerous by breeding and that it doesn't matter how good an owner is, ANY dog can snap. Some for legit reasons like tail being pulled, and others for none legit reason. The difference with pits is they can kill. My 8lb dog will not.

Guess I'm pathetic though.

In this context, I guess you are. #sorrynotsorry

It's fine. It is just your opinion after all.

It is a sad story in my opinion and I could not imagine being in such a situation. I generally like animals a lot and I have a dog that I love to the fullest and I can't imagine my life without him because in two years I became very attached to him and we created a connection that can't be compared with anything. Last week I was very scared because he started crying after eating and I didn't know what it was. Obviously, the first step was to search the internet for information about this and I found this site Dog Crying After Eating – Is it a problem? (Solutions) - Oodle Dogs which explained all the ambiguities and how I should solve a problem. I am very happy that everything is fine now.

A weaned and lonely puppy cannot identify other dogs as his own; rather, he will consider himself a member of the human race, naturally retaining all animal habits and instincts.

"As it turns out, American dog breeders and some of their European counterparts, driven by a lust for profit and not by love for animals, take three-week-old puppies away from bitches. It would be better if stray dogs were washed and sold. That's what I did: I used to catch strays with a friend, feed them, buy toys at doggietoys.com and take pictures for social media for the dog to be taken.
Pitbull puppies already have very aggressive behavior at an early age. Pity-dog breeders disturb the proper development of puppies, depriving them of the most important condition for their initiation into independent life - the presence of their pack."
