This is a very sad story. That is too young an age to have such a terrible thing happen. My prayers are with the family.

I HOPE GOD IS WITH THE FAMILY THERE IS NOTHING MORE TRAGIC THEN LOSING A CHILD TO A DANGEROUS ANIMAL THAT THE STATE FAIL'S TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.THAT BREED SHOULD BE ABOLISHED SEEM'S THERE MORE WORRIED ABOUT OFFENDING SOMEBODY THEN TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

And to top it all off no charges have been filed against the owners of those dogs. They should be made to pay all the expenses that little boys family will incur.
What the HECK were they doing loose anyway? Those dogs are a menice to society!
How many mauls has this been in the last month from Pit Bulls? One is too many!

It is ashamed that this attack happened. The owners should face the consequences for allowing the dogs to run loose. However, I will also say that i believe that pit bulls are unfairly given a bad rap. I have a friend who has a pit bull that wouldn't hurt a fly. It is a big baby. My next door neighbor also has a pit bull which is laso a big baby. I was followed home one day by a pit bull when walking my own dog. The pit was such a big baby, I didn't even know it was a pit bull until I called the owners vet so I would know where to take it. The whole way to its vet it just wanted lots of love and to give lots of kisses. There is a list on which dogs are ranked as to how dangerous they are. It ranks them according to their bite. I have had a vet at my own animal clinic as well as a tech at the 24 hour clinic I use when my pets need attention after hours tell me that pit bulls are actually way down the list. If anyone is interested in knowing a specific breed that is at the top of that list the chow is at least number four meaning it really is extremely dangerous. I remember a chow breaking through my parents wood fence years ago.

Any dog's disposition depends on how it was raised. If a dog was raised to be agressive it will be agressive. Also a dog's sense af smell is very different from that of a human's. When a dog smells the scent of a human or that of another animal it smells more than the scent. It also smells the emotions. Dogs can smell fear, agression, anger, and affection. For instance, if a dog smells fear, it will attack simply because it knows by smelling fear that it has the upper hand. Sometimes the media dosn't tells us everything or doesn't know all the facts. I am not saying this boy did this, but sometimes small children can play rough with animals. I saw my sister-in-law's neice 2 yrs ols)pull a cat's tail at my brother's inlaw's house once.

And I do agree that owners of ANY breed of dog ARE responsible if their dog attacks anyone what so ever.

Yes I agree it would have to be a ban because just letting particular individuals own them cannot be controlled well enough.

I don't think I agree with you, Spaz.

These certain breeds have been known to turn on the family who raised them and attack a child. Even after they were raised as a nice family pet.

I just think certain breeds are prone to violence and you're taking YOUR safety and the safety of OTHERS in your own hands when you get one.

I am full of opinions today.
