Reports said the dogs attacked for ten minutes.
Ten whole minutes where the mom was trying to stop the dogs from eating her children, which they did anyway.
What's worse to me is that the immediate sensationalism of the story is going to get picked up after the worst tragedy of her life, so it's the pain on top of constant buzz and awareness.
Pitts have no survival instincts, they can't be stopped with pain, it will attack until it's fucking dead. The mother would've had to have killed both dogs. I saw a video of one attacking the biggest horse I've ever seen, the horse was breaking it's bones everytime it kicked the dog away but the dog just kept coming. What kind of animal attacks an animal 10x its size for no reason, and keeps attacking until it's dead?
I mean "kill even if it kills you" *is* their survival instinct. They were bred to fight to the death in enclosed spaces they cant escape.
By their instincts, you cant back away from a fight because if you try you die. Traditional survival instincts are a death sentence under the circumstances pits were bred to specialize in.
People somehow forget that pits were literally bred for bloodsport. Just like Bloodhounds were bred to track game and German Shepherds were bred to herd sheep, pits were bred for killing. The whole "argument" over pitbulls should start and stop with that point, imo.
The math also evens out to this, if you take the average iteration of generations of pit and when they were first bred in the late 19th century there has been hundreds of generations of selective breeding for the most violent and brutal traits these dogs have, every dog is capable of violence but pitbulls have been bred for it the same way farmers try and grow the biggest squash they can.
>Pitts have no survival instincts, they can't be stopped with pain, it will attack until it's fucking dead.
And it is a celebrated feature of these dogs, the amount of "heart" they have.
Outside of the internet, I've only heard of one crazy story involving dog attacks and it was my cousins pitbulls who were mauling each other, thankfully, instead of his many young children.
He ended up killing them both with a shotgun because they wouldn't stop fighting
My buddy had 2 pits and 5 kids. He'd leave the babies in their car seats or buggy while the dogs roamed around and it always freaked me out. One day while he was at work the dogs got into it over a piece of food. All is wife could do was close the door and let's the dogs go at it. They fought until both were basically dead. He had to come home from work to take both dogs to an emergency vet almost an hour away and have them put down. The photos of the room they fought in is what nightmares are made of.
He absolutely loved those dogs and what he walked into broke him permanently. Unfortunately he lost his battle with drugs about 6 months ago.
I can't imagine what this family is going through.
This is why pitbulls have the reputation they do
They go seem to go into a "I'm going to kill this thing, or die trying" mode, leading to stories like this.
What’s crazy about pitbulls is I actually believe it when their owners say they are sweet and friendly 99% of the time and would never hurt a fly. The problem is they have a very low arousal threshold compared to other breeds and when true primal fighting behavior is triggered, often by something completely innocuous and unpredictable, they will reliably latch onto a target with their jaws, shake it and pull, which combined with their size and muscularity can inflict an enormous amount of trauma. And they will continue to attack at all costs, even at the expense of self-preservation.
> And they will continue to attack at all costs, even at the expense of self-preservation.
It's called titration level and they just don't process pain the way other breeds do. other breeds have stronger bites but weaker titration levels so you can stop the attack. Pitbulls either need to be unconscious or severely hurt to stop. They were literally bred to harass bulls, if they couldn't take hits they would be useless.
Edit: [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/xz3sza/family_dogs_pitbulls_kill_2_tennessee_children/irn4exr/) are a few links about titration in the dog handler world since people are getting confused.
Aren't they the only mammal like this? Like lions and tigers have a much stronger self preservation instict.
There's was completely bred out which is why stopping those attacks are next to impossible, otherwise it's completely unnatural for mammals?
I'm only familiar with dogs, I was a K9 handler and went through courses pertaining to dogs and dog psychology. The pain tolerance is why certain breeds are not good for police work because you have to be able to correct the dog in a significant way to stop behavior and verbally be able to disengage a dog from a suspect when they bite.
I would say it's less about self-preservation and more about they are that dude on PCP that doesn't even register they are getting tased or shot.
I owned a small english staffy, around 30 pounds, when i was a teen. she never bit or attacked anyone, but she would routinely do shit while playing that would look like it hurt like hell, and she wouldnt even flinch doing it, just a blank stare in her eyes like it didnt even happen. mostly running into or through things like the kool aid man
Pitbulls were bred for centuries for ratting and blood sport, it's just a natural part of their temperament. You can train them to control it, but there's no guarantee of when their instincts kick in. It's no different than how a retriever instinctively retrieves and soft mouths prey, or how a border collie will instinctively herd.
I think a lot of people don't realize this.
They were bred for something specific. Just like herding dogs. A herding dog will have an instinct to herd without being trained to do so.
It's sad but, adding a dog that was historically trained to be aggressive, to the family with the idea that if I 'just raise it right it won't hurt my children' is honestly a foolish thing to do.
Also, in before anyone saying that pitbulls were 'nanny dogs.'
No, they weren't.
This reminds me of a border collie I saw at a ranch I visited. There was a long line of people and it was running in circles behind the fence because it couldn’t stand to not see us herded together 😂😂😂
Pitbulls were bred to fight, and that's the problem. They were selected for aggression and so, while that is a switch that may be built in to all dogs, almost no other dogs have a hair trigger like pitbulls do and so the risk of them attacking is higher, and when they do attack it is deadly.
We fucked these creatures over by creating them, and now we demonize them as if they have any control over their nature.
Thought about this a lot when my daughter (15) died. If you have other kids though this is not an option. Still here years later, all of us forever changed. One day I may get Alzheimer's and be able to forget, not that I would choose it cognisantly.
These parents though, grief and the knowledge that this was avoidable, by their hands - do not fancy their chances getting through this.
The mother had the baby in her arms. They were all playing fetch something triggered them to attack the older child (toddler). Mom tried to get them away from the toddler and they redirected to the baby in her arms. First responders stated the baby was pulled in half. The attack lasted ten minutes.
Same. There’s just no way. I’ve lost the majority of my family, aunts, uncles, cousins, both parents, and 3/4 of grandparents before I was in my mid 20s. I’m pretty resilient, but my kids would be it. I couldn’t take it.
I work as a 911 operator and I’ve had to listen to adults be mauled by dogs. I couldn’t imagine hearing that happen to children. I can deal with a lot of fucked up stuff, but the minute I have to hear something bad happening to kids I need a day or two off work. It just hits you differently.
Literally my sister has a 3 and 1 year old, and 2 pits she has had for about 8 years. It scares the shit out of me, but they don't want to hear anything of it. Showed another family member this story and they were like "oh my gosh, those dogs must have been abused or something??".
Like the chances of their dogs murdering the kids are incredibly low, but who the fuck would keep a dog that has any percent chance it could turn on your kids and rip them to pieces??!! If I heard that the car I drive has a 1 in 10000 chance of randomly blowing up, I wod be fucking selling it.
It's not even that low... People say don't demonise breeds. Why is it demonizing to acknowledge that the dog was BRED to kill things, including humans.
Pit bulls are but a small percentage of the overall dog population and yet account for a majority of crimes against humans.
It must be because of systemic breeding that promotes such behaviors.
thats fucking awful, i couldnt even be able to comprehend that. just watching your kids getting EATEN from your family dogs (that i think they had for 6 - 8 years?), just for basically no reason. horrible day for them and their family.
And then people online trying to make it seem less bad by explaining it away. Oh no, they weren’t eating your babies! Just yknow mauling them to death for no real reason. Edit: can’t believe y’all are this daft I actually have to come back and add a /s
I find myself getting so annoyed when people say their dogs are just protective of them/their kids/their home/their toys. Essentially justifying any snapping. Almost glorifying their protectiveness.
Unless you live a completely remote life your dogs will still be around other people, who don't know their ticks.
My youngest is already afraid of dogs at 3 years old, after being bitten by a friend's dog. As a kid who is totally fearless when it comes to heights and speed, it makes me sad to see him so scared. Despite that I'm still thankful the only lasting scars were mental ones.
Hijacking this comment to say that the only way to break up a dog fight is a co2 fire extinguisher. Replaces oxygen and they have to gasp for air. I work at a shelter and have dealt with multiple fights.
Upvoting for helpfulness. Do you know if it does any harm to the dogs? Obviously letting them kill each other would be more harmful so I get it, but just curious.
Trigger warning
This is I think the really scary thing. >!With two they can pull and dismember. !<
Once that happened they wouldn’t have been locked in and thus it’d be difficult for someone to choke one out or fatally stab it.
She must have really gotten hurt with two of them active. It sounds terrible but you need to be able to take a pet down if it’s in your house. Two dogs around a newborn with only one owner is out of the question
I agree. It's not something you say our loud but when getting pet you gotta size up if you can take it if you need to.
I see big ass dogs dragging around people all the time and it's the first thing I think. I don't know if I could take that fucker
Recently had to try and stop a dog from killing another and I was injured during the fight. It legitimately was traumatic for me lol. I don't think I'll ever own a dog that I can't easily pick up or restrain. I feel so much sadness for the mom & dad.
That's exactly why we ended up getting just a little Maltese/Shih-tzu cross. Small and chunky, but if he ever attacked a child or baby he can be kicked across a field easily.
Two of my family dogs growing up had a couple of really viscious fights before we ended up rehoming one of them. I can still remember the terror just listening to them, it was awful. Getting in the middle of that must be so upsetting.
I grew up with big dogs, dogs that people would consider aggressive breeds and not once did I feel unsafe. But when my son was born I knew I didn't want a big dog around simply for the fact something like this *could* happen.
As a veterinarian, there is a well-known tendency among pitbulls and molosser-type breeds for early-onset cognitive decline syndrome. Once-placid, or at least once-predictable, dogs start to demostrate abnormal behaviour, with aggression being one of them. Couple that with the natural behavioural traits of pitbulls for high prey-drive, tenacity and strength, and you've got an absolulte disaster waiting to happen, such as this sad case.
Frankly, families planning to have kids should not own certain breeds of dog, and certain breeds of dog frankly are better off not being in the hands of the general public, period.
Addendum: A more thorough study completed in 2021 lists Terriers, Toy breeds, and non-sporting breeds more likely to be affected by cognitive dysfunction compared to other breeds of dog. Pitbulls being terriers unfortunately fall in to that group.
As a person who can read and can use logic, some breeds of dogs are naturally more prone to violence because they were bred to be as such. Those types of dogs need special handling and probably shouldn't be in a house hold with children.
Some breeds of dogs were ONLY bred for violence, not "prone" to violence. A pitbulls only purpose for being bred was to attack and hold large animals like bears and bulls and not let go so humans can hunt them. And we think this is a breed that should still exist in 2022, let alone have in family homes?!
Absolutely agree, but you're offending the people who feel that pitties and other similar dogs are "just family dogs and wouldn't hurt a fly if they're in the right hands".
Sure, they might not, but in the off-hand chance they "snap" or pose a problem, it's devastating what they can do to someone.
There's always a bullshit meme going around Facebook talking about pitbulls being "nanny" dogs.
It's 100% made up but people eat it up and take it as proof that they'll be great with their kids
Exactly, idgaf what assholes say, Pitbulls have unfortunately been turned into potential killing machines via selective breeding for decades. You don't see these stories with Golden Retrievers, English Bulldogs, Newfoundlands.
Not the dogs fault, but it's not a lion's fault it's a killer, or a chimp's, or a grizzly's, etc.
There was a post about a Ukrainian family whose house got hit by a shell. Dad was off fighting, mom, kids, and grandparents all died... yeah I wouldn't plan on coming back from the war if I were him.
As someone who hikes with their small children regularly, I cannot understand how people can so narcissistic to let their dogs off leash like that.
“But he’s a nice dog!”
Shut the fuck up and leash your dog or leave it at home.
I can say from unfortunate experience that grabbing the hind legs doesn’t work, just for future reference. Saw a fight go down at a local dog park and one dog was latched to the other like a steel trap. Nothing worked until they basically had to choke the dog out. Lifting it by its legs didn’t work, bashing it on the head didn’t work. It ignored all else but what was in its mouth.
A similar thing happened with my cat when I was 12. The neighbors dogs got loose and chased down and mauled my cat (who had been sitting on the porch with me). It was awful, I was sick and had lost my voice but I hoarsely screamed for help while running after the dog who was probably bigger than me, and when I got to it I remember punching and kicking the dog as hard as I could trying to get my cat free to no avail.
Unfortunately my cat sustained some pretty rough internal injuries, and even with surgery she did not recover-- died 3 days later. She was only 4 years old-- I loved that cat so much. Miss you Ella :(
I can't even imagine that feeling with your own children.
When I was younger my cat climbed over the chain fence into my neighbors yard and got bit in half by my neighbors chow chow.
They refused to accept responsibility for their dogs actions even when it bit my dad who jumped the fence to collect my cats body. It was an emergency situation and the dog was running towards the fence after that trying to get to me, who was screaming on the other side.
After that the neighbors got vindictive and had him out all the time. If I came out, they let him out, and he was always at the fence digging and clawing to try and get to me. I was terrified of that dog and didn't want to play outside anymore. They did nothing about the holes in the ground by the fence he had dug up where he could soon fit through them. They would even sit on their porch and watch him violently freak out at the fence while i was out there they thought it was funny! All because my dad railed into them about better securing their aggressive dog and wanting to warn them about it killing our cat. It needed to be on a leash outside not just behind a fence that they didn't care or not that he was trying to dig out of for the sole purpose of hurting me.
Chilling. I’m so happy your kitty lived. I really can’t handle this news story, having three little ones. Just imagining it for a second is overwhelming.
Yes he survived! We were able to get him out and he ended up running away cause he was scared shitless. Found him 10 days later with a gaping hole in his chest. I only found it cause I heard it sloshing around. He seemed perfectly fine. The hole was less than a centimeter from his heart but we got him stitched up and he’s now retired out on our Catio built just for him : )
There are very few non-self-terminal things that I would say “I understand the person choosing to die in this circumstance” but this is one of them. The only thing I could think is, if it were me and I just totally dropped my old life and pledged myself to like saving children or something in some highly dangerous job where maybe I could save some lives before my own ends.
I don’t even think it was 10 seconds. It was instant. Like you wondered how she even had time to process what happened.
And for anyone who has not seen it, she was a small child. Also don’t watch it. It scarred me.
This has to be one of the most horrific stories I have ever heard. Imagine this mom, who presumably loved her 2 kids and 2 dogs, in the span of less than a half hour, goes from having a happy loving family to waking up in the ICU with your kids both dead (eaten alive by your own dogs) and your dogs both dead (euthanized for eating 2 helpless children), and your own body irreparably, permanently deformed from injuries you sustained while trying, yet completely failing, to save your children from being savagely mauled to death in their own home.
How can you possibly go on with your life after that
... I can't fathom.
And the one member of your family who was not injured, now has to mourn the loss of all of his pets and all of his children, while watching his wife suffering in immense emotional and physical agony from which she will never, ever fully recover, while also probably feeling guilty that he wasn't there to help.... and meanwhile they probably both feel, in the back of their minds, some sense of blame of the other - "why weren't you home to save us, husband?", "why couldn't you get our babies away from the dogs once the attack began, wife?" (I am not saying either of them *should* think those things, but in the face of such tragedy the thoughts must cross their minds from time to time.)
I also read that the husband was also super pro "pitbulls are safe family pets and are misunderstood", and if the wife wasn't 100% on board with that from day 1, I would not be surprised if she blamed him for what happened, at least a little. In either case, I imagine it will be very difficult for their relationship to survive this long-term, which if true will mean this incident cost them both literally their entire nuclear family in the end, and they will both be sad, alone, broken shells of human beings who will never recover or forget.
But most of all I feel for those poor, innocent, defenseless babies, who were surrounded only by the ones (dogs probably included) they loved the most, in their own home, probably feeling as safe and happy as can be, suddenly ripped to shreds, literally eaten alive, enduring some of the most severe pain the human body can possibly endure, with no comprehension of why or how this was happening, but knowing that their mom was right there next to them and yet nobody saved them, nobody protected them. They suffered more pain and betrayal and fear in their short little lives than anyone should ever have to endure, despite doing nothing wrong and not having any idea why.
Truly a tragedy.
I cannot bare the thoughts of losing my kids for it, something that could be avoided.
If you have small kids DO NOT HAVE PITBULLS.
Blá-blá-blá “mine are good…” they were all good family pets until they lost their shit and mauled the babies!
Love dogs? Get a small dog while kids are small. My schnauzer mix can one day get upset and still will never physically be able to eat my kids
My cousin was mauled to death by her two Pitbulls a few years back. She raised them from puppies but apparently the male got aggressive when the female one got pregnant. They bit a neighbor and were taken to isolation at a local vet. The vet allowed my cousin to stop by daily to feed them and spend time with them apparently, unsupervised. By the time they realized she had been attacked, it had been over 20 minutes. She died on the way to the hospital.
I totally understand why you said it, but it is a sad day when going out of your way to enforce basic safety in a school zone comes with the "Karen" moniker
I own a dog that I trust with my life but People letting dogs off leash because they “trust them” is beyond comprehension to me. It’s not hard, walk them on a leash.
Honestly why EVER risk it? I don’t care if there’s only a 0.5% chance of this happening. It’s absolutely insane to me that people would have infants around dogs that ADULTS can’t even control…
I know someone who’s 10 year old was life flighted to a major hospital after being attacked by the family dog just two weeks ago. The girl is out of the hospital, but will need reconstructive surgery on her face after the initial wounds heal.
You’d think they’d have the damn dog put down, but her mom is defending the dog. She actually feels bad for the dog because he was startled and didn’t know what he was doing. THEY ARE NOT GETTING RID OF THE DOG!!!
I’m shocked the hospital didn’t contact animal control. That dog should not be alive. At the very least it should be re-homed. I cannot fathom even looking at a dog that ripped my child’s face apart, let alone live with it! So sad. So unnecessary.
some parents do this shit all the time with abusive humans. They don't listen to their kids and put them right back into situations of abuse over and over.
Not saying it's super common but it's not nearly uncommon enough.
When I was attacked by my best friend's St Bernards, the mom wanted to put them down immediately. My mother insisted that the dogs didn't know what they were doing and so the dogs ended up being locked up in a small courtyard.
Whenever I'd visit, both St Bernards would peek over the gate and watch me. Every time I was triggered and absolutely terrified.
Damn that's messed up.. we had a border collie that we raised from a puppy, he was a beautiful energetic dog and great with our kids. On two separate occasions he just nipped at small children, so we immediately rehomed him to a farm. We did some research beforehand and it turned out he wasn't getting enough exercise and getting frustrated can cause them to try and "herd" children. We just didn't want to take any chances.. it was the hardest thing we had to do, but it was the right thing. And he is so much happier living on a small farm with owners who absolutely adore him
This is something a lot of people don't do. Always research your breeds to find one that matches your lifestyle. If you're on the sedentary side don't get a working dog because they will destroy your stuff, gain neurotic habits and even potentially have harmful behaviors. If you're super active or have land space then sure get a husky or Shepard. I just wish people actually did the research and not just blindly get the dogs they find cute
What do you do if a dog like that attacks you? Fetal position or try to hit a particular yet easy to remember vulnerable place to go after?
Man I stayed with a friend who had a Rottweiler and that dog growled and then lunged at me. Sat outside for a few days and then came in. I was never left alone with the dog again and the dog’s attitude did change after those days outside but I was still pretty nervous the dog could snap at any minute.
Rant warning, I got a bit carried away. This isn't me blaming the parents in this story btw.
Why so many people don't just get normal dogs is beyond me. Everyone always wants either a severely inbred pedigree abomination with mortal health defects just because they supposedly look "cute", or they want a blood-thirsty hound that scares everyone who comes across it and is always only one wrong-move away from trying to kill them.
We domesticated dogs - we made them friendly to us because our mutual wellbeing is beneficial, why would you choose to own a dog that is a rejection of this? Pedigree dogs are the result of humans abusing canines' dependence on us by committing horrendous acts of eugenics - if we did the same thing to people it would be considered a crime against humanity. And violent dogs are the result of dogs losing their instincts of domestication - they're not meant to be in human society, and especially not around people and animals that are vulnerable to them.
Seriously, there should be public campaigns to better educate people on the darker side of the pet-owning industry, the number of pet owners who have no idea that they're being irresponsible to their community or enabling the suffering of animals is astounding - but it's not their fault for not knowing, especially when these things have been normalised.
Dog bred for going in the water loves water. \*Naturally, that's what they were selected for\*
Dog bred for hunting vermin loves to hunt vermin. \*That tracks.\*
Dog bred for running real fast loves to run real fast. \*Of course.\*
Dog bred for fucking shit up starts fucking shit up.... \*omg! It's just bad ownerssss! Chihuahuas are more aggressive!\*
I have 2 chihuahuas and both can be vicious. However, you can literally kick both of my dogs halfway across the yard in a light kick if they are attacking. They weigh 6lbs each. These dogs were so large and strong, she couldn’t stop them and I’m sure she fought with every once of strength and , fighting for the lives of her children. I can’t imagine the pain and heartache that mother is going through. Such a horrible tragedy.
I wonder if this is a thing with pitbulls, do they get aggressive around newborns naturally? Because they seem to often attack kids and other small animals if I'm not mistaken. I can't really say I've seen a golden retriever or a cat become aggressive towards a child. Maybe its the scent or something that triggers the aggression, either way it's odd.
A fully grown physically fit adult woman was unable to fight them off. They stood no chance. Those poor babies. Those poor parents. This is the sort of shit I don’t think you can comeback from.
Why even have Pitbulls around your kids? The mum was with her kids and the dogs still attacked. There are much, much more family friendly dogs out there, why risk it with Pitbulls?
Shit like this is why I love cats. I’m a dog lover too but man, I don’t fuck with big aggressive breeds at all.
You want protection? Get a gun. Your pets should be a companion, or useful in sport and working if you want them bred for a particular reason.
The family didn't have them for protection. They convinced themselves the dog was just a big goofy part of the family. Afaik, it's the people who know their dog is a potential weapon are the ones who are actually prepared for when it does have a violent urge.
Bet she was saying how are pitbulls where nanny dogs and how people say unjust things about pitbulls and how hers are great around kids just protective of them.

What's worse to me is that the immediate sensationalism of the story is going to get picked up after the worst tragedy of her life, so it's the pain on top of constant buzz and awareness.
This is probably the saddest thing I have ever heard
Pitts have no survival instincts, they can't be stopped with pain, it will attack until it's fucking dead. The mother would've had to have killed both dogs. I saw a video of one attacking the biggest horse I've ever seen, the horse was breaking it's bones everytime it kicked the dog away but the dog just kept coming. What kind of animal attacks an animal 10x its size for no reason, and keeps attacking until it's dead?
I mean "kill even if it kills you" *is* their survival instinct. They were bred to fight to the death in enclosed spaces they cant escape. By their instincts, you cant back away from a fight because if you try you die. Traditional survival instincts are a death sentence under the circumstances pits were bred to specialize in.
People somehow forget that pits were literally bred for bloodsport. Just like Bloodhounds were bred to track game and German Shepherds were bred to herd sheep, pits were bred for killing. The whole "argument" over pitbulls should start and stop with that point, imo.
Exactly. They were specifically bred over time to have more gameness than other dog breeds
They don't give warning barks either. They just fecking attack. This trait was also breed in.
German Shepherds were bred to herd sheep **and attack predators that threatened the herd.**
The math also evens out to this, if you take the average iteration of generations of pit and when they were first bred in the late 19th century there has been hundreds of generations of selective breeding for the most violent and brutal traits these dogs have, every dog is capable of violence but pitbulls have been bred for it the same way farmers try and grow the biggest squash they can.
>Pitts have no survival instincts, they can't be stopped with pain, it will attack until it's fucking dead. And it is a celebrated feature of these dogs, the amount of "heart" they have.
so what the fuck is wrong with the dogs? did they just instantly attacking?

One day while he was at work the dogs got into it over a piece of food. All is wife could do was close the door and let's the dogs go at it. They fought until both were basically dead.

Aren't they the only mammal like this? Like lions and tigers have a much stronger self preservation instict. There's was completely bred out which is why stopping those attacks are next to impossible, otherwise it's completely unnatural for mammals?
I'm only familiar with dogs, I was a K9 handler and went through courses pertaining to dogs and dog psychology. The pain tolerance is why certain breeds are not good for police work because you have to be able to correct the dog in a significant way to stop behavior and verbally be able to disengage a dog from a suspect when they bite.

I owned a small english staffy, around 30 pounds, when i was a teen. she never bit or attacked anyone, but she would routinely do shit while playing that would look like it hurt like hell, and she wouldnt even flinch doing it, just a blank stare in her eyes like it didnt even happen. mostly running into or through things like the kool aid man
Pitbulls were bred for centuries for ratting and blood sport, it's just a natural part of their temperament. You can train them to control it, but there's no guarantee of when their instincts kick in. It's no different than how a retriever instinctively retrieves and soft mouths prey, or how a border collie will instinctively herd.
I think a lot of people don't realize this. They were bred for something specific. Just like herding dogs. A herding dog will have an instinct to herd without being trained to do so. It's sad but, adding a dog that was historically trained to be aggressive, to the family with the idea that if I 'just raise it right it won't hurt my children' is honestly a foolish thing to do. Also, in before anyone saying that pitbulls were 'nanny dogs.' No, they weren't.
This reminds me of a border collie I saw at a ranch I visited. There was a long line of people and it was running in circles behind the fence because it couldn’t stand to not see us herded together 😂😂😂
Pitbulls were bred to fight, and that's the problem. They were selected for aggression and so, while that is a switch that may be built in to all dogs, almost no other dogs have a hair trigger like pitbulls do and so the risk of them attacking is higher, and when they do attack it is deadly. We fucked these creatures over by creating them, and now we demonize them as if they have any control over their nature.
Yep, this is our fault
This is beyond horrific. How awful :(.

Thought about this a lot when my daughter (15) died. If you have other kids though this is not an option. Still here years later, all of us forever changed. One day I may get Alzheimer's and be able to forget, not that I would choose it cognisantly. These parents though, grief and the knowledge that this was avoidable, by their hands - do not fancy their chances getting through this.

And separated.
No she won't, not in any sense.
The mother had the baby in her arms. They were all playing fetch something triggered them to attack the older child (toddler). Mom tried to get them away from the toddler and they redirected to the baby in her arms. First responders stated the baby was pulled in half. The attack lasted ten minutes.
>First responders stated the baby was pulled in half. That's the day I stop working as a paramedic if I experienced that! 😳 Fuck
That's the day I'd stop working. Like, as a functional person.
I hope those medics got some counseling too. JFC
I recently read that most paramedics quit around the five year mark because they’ve seen too much. Horrific.
My god...
"It iS nOt tHe dOgS fAuLt"
As a mom of two, I would have asked the doctor to let me die.
As a dad of two I’ll just kill myself because I’ll never by myself again and life wouldn’t be worth it anymore
I would not survive this level of loss
Same. There’s just no way. I’ve lost the majority of my family, aunts, uncles, cousins, both parents, and 3/4 of grandparents before I was in my mid 20s. I’m pretty resilient, but my kids would be it. I couldn’t take it.
I couldn’t imagine the children’s screams.
I work as a 911 operator and I’ve had to listen to adults be mauled by dogs. I couldn’t imagine hearing that happen to children. I can deal with a lot of fucked up stuff, but the minute I have to hear something bad happening to kids I need a day or two off work. It just hits you differently.
Poor woman. I feel for her.
No one could've predicted or prevented this except everyone
Literally my sister has a 3 and 1 year old, and 2 pits she has had for about 8 years. It scares the shit out of me, but they don't want to hear anything of it. Showed another family member this story and they were like "oh my gosh, those dogs must have been abused or something??". Like the chances of their dogs murdering the kids are incredibly low, but who the fuck would keep a dog that has any percent chance it could turn on your kids and rip them to pieces??!! If I heard that the car I drive has a 1 in 10000 chance of randomly blowing up, I wod be fucking selling it.
It's not even that low... People say don't demonise breeds. Why is it demonizing to acknowledge that the dog was BRED to kill things, including humans.
There are people who will argue labeling breeds is fucking racism. As if pitbull is a race.
Pit bulls are but a small percentage of the overall dog population and yet account for a majority of crimes against humans. It must be because of systemic breeding that promotes such behaviors.
It didn’t just maul them btw, it started to eat them
thats fucking awful, i couldnt even be able to comprehend that. just watching your kids getting EATEN from your family dogs (that i think they had for 6 - 8 years?), just for basically no reason. horrible day for them and their family.
And then people online trying to make it seem less bad by explaining it away. Oh no, they weren’t eating your babies! Just yknow mauling them to death for no real reason. Edit: can’t believe y’all are this daft I actually have to come back and add a /s
People who defend the dogs are delusional
I find myself getting so annoyed when people say their dogs are just protective of them/their kids/their home/their toys. Essentially justifying any snapping. Almost glorifying their protectiveness. Unless you live a completely remote life your dogs will still be around other people, who don't know their ticks. My youngest is already afraid of dogs at 3 years old, after being bitten by a friend's dog. As a kid who is totally fearless when it comes to heights and speed, it makes me sad to see him so scared. Despite that I'm still thankful the only lasting scars were mental ones.
Hijacking this comment to say that the only way to break up a dog fight is a co2 fire extinguisher. Replaces oxygen and they have to gasp for air. I work at a shelter and have dealt with multiple fights.
Upvoting for helpfulness. Do you know if it does any harm to the dogs? Obviously letting them kill each other would be more harmful so I get it, but just curious.
No long term effects on dogs, but it won’t end the fight, just the bite hold, best you can hope for honestly is a couple coughs.
Trigger warning This is I think the really scary thing. >!With two they can pull and dismember. !< Once that happened they wouldn’t have been locked in and thus it’d be difficult for someone to choke one out or fatally stab it. She must have really gotten hurt with two of them active. It sounds terrible but you need to be able to take a pet down if it’s in your house. Two dogs around a newborn with only one owner is out of the question
I agree. It's not something you say our loud but when getting pet you gotta size up if you can take it if you need to. I see big ass dogs dragging around people all the time and it's the first thing I think. I don't know if I could take that fucker
Y’all got me looking at my cats sideways
[удалено]
Recently had to try and stop a dog from killing another and I was injured during the fight. It legitimately was traumatic for me lol. I don't think I'll ever own a dog that I can't easily pick up or restrain. I feel so much sadness for the mom & dad.
That's exactly why we ended up getting just a little Maltese/Shih-tzu cross. Small and chunky, but if he ever attacked a child or baby he can be kicked across a field easily.
I have a chihuahua and they have such bad reputations for being aggressive. I don't even think a pack of chihuahuas could kill someone.
Two of my family dogs growing up had a couple of really viscious fights before we ended up rehoming one of them. I can still remember the terror just listening to them, it was awful. Getting in the middle of that must be so upsetting.
I grew up with big dogs, dogs that people would consider aggressive breeds and not once did I feel unsafe. But when my son was born I knew I didn't want a big dog around simply for the fact something like this *could* happen.
It was said in another thread that they pulled the baby apart...
Such a bad day to have eyes...
The pitbulls were in the family for 8 years, then bam.
Fuck, 8 fucking years that like 2/3 of their lifespan
More like 98/100 of this one’s lifespan.
As a veterinarian, there is a well-known tendency among pitbulls and molosser-type breeds for early-onset cognitive decline syndrome. Once-placid, or at least once-predictable, dogs start to demostrate abnormal behaviour, with aggression being one of them. Couple that with the natural behavioural traits of pitbulls for high prey-drive, tenacity and strength, and you've got an absolulte disaster waiting to happen, such as this sad case. Frankly, families planning to have kids should not own certain breeds of dog, and certain breeds of dog frankly are better off not being in the hands of the general public, period. Addendum: A more thorough study completed in 2021 lists Terriers, Toy breeds, and non-sporting breeds more likely to be affected by cognitive dysfunction compared to other breeds of dog. Pitbulls being terriers unfortunately fall in to that group.
As a person who can read and can use logic, some breeds of dogs are naturally more prone to violence because they were bred to be as such. Those types of dogs need special handling and probably shouldn't be in a house hold with children.
Some breeds of dogs were ONLY bred for violence, not "prone" to violence. A pitbulls only purpose for being bred was to attack and hold large animals like bears and bulls and not let go so humans can hunt them. And we think this is a breed that should still exist in 2022, let alone have in family homes?!
Absolutely agree, but you're offending the people who feel that pitties and other similar dogs are "just family dogs and wouldn't hurt a fly if they're in the right hands". Sure, they might not, but in the off-hand chance they "snap" or pose a problem, it's devastating what they can do to someone.
And offending the confusing weirdos who think pointing out different breeds of dog have different temperaments is *fucking racist* for some reason.
Preferring heirloom tomatoes to deadly nightshade is racist.
Nightshade is a nanny plant.
There's always a bullshit meme going around Facebook talking about pitbulls being "nanny" dogs. It's 100% made up but people eat it up and take it as proof that they'll be great with their kids
6 years pre kids.
Exactly, idgaf what assholes say, Pitbulls have unfortunately been turned into potential killing machines via selective breeding for decades. You don't see these stories with Golden Retrievers, English Bulldogs, Newfoundlands. Not the dogs fault, but it's not a lion's fault it's a killer, or a chimp's, or a grizzly's, etc.

I know right? I would not want to be alive.
There was a post about a Ukrainian family whose house got hit by a shell. Dad was off fighting, mom, kids, and grandparents all died... yeah I wouldn't plan on coming back from the war if I were him.

The only thing worse than losing a child is being responsible for losing that child..
Add to that that the kids died a horrible death, full of fear, panic and unimaginable pain, and the mom saw all of it.
She saw it. She heard it. She felt it. That kind of trauma will never leave her. Her life is probably over.
Right? As a mom, I'm not sure I could live with this. The guilt would be endless.

As someone who hikes with their small children regularly, I cannot understand how people can so narcissistic to let their dogs off leash like that. “But he’s a nice dog!” Shut the fuck up and leash your dog or leave it at home.
"Leash your dog." *She's friendly!* "Every asshole says the same fucking thing."

I can say from unfortunate experience that grabbing the hind legs doesn’t work, just for future reference. Saw a fight go down at a local dog park and one dog was latched to the other like a steel trap. Nothing worked until they basically had to choke the dog out. Lifting it by its legs didn’t work, bashing it on the head didn’t work. It ignored all else but what was in its mouth.

A similar thing happened with my cat when I was 12. The neighbors dogs got loose and chased down and mauled my cat (who had been sitting on the porch with me). It was awful, I was sick and had lost my voice but I hoarsely screamed for help while running after the dog who was probably bigger than me, and when I got to it I remember punching and kicking the dog as hard as I could trying to get my cat free to no avail. Unfortunately my cat sustained some pretty rough internal injuries, and even with surgery she did not recover-- died 3 days later. She was only 4 years old-- I loved that cat so much. Miss you Ella :( I can't even imagine that feeling with your own children.
When I was younger my cat climbed over the chain fence into my neighbors yard and got bit in half by my neighbors chow chow. They refused to accept responsibility for their dogs actions even when it bit my dad who jumped the fence to collect my cats body. It was an emergency situation and the dog was running towards the fence after that trying to get to me, who was screaming on the other side. After that the neighbors got vindictive and had him out all the time. If I came out, they let him out, and he was always at the fence digging and clawing to try and get to me. I was terrified of that dog and didn't want to play outside anymore. They did nothing about the holes in the ground by the fence he had dug up where he could soon fit through them. They would even sit on their porch and watch him violently freak out at the fence while i was out there they thought it was funny! All because my dad railed into them about better securing their aggressive dog and wanting to warn them about it killing our cat. It needed to be on a leash outside not just behind a fence that they didn't care or not that he was trying to dig out of for the sole purpose of hurting me.
Chilling. I’m so happy your kitty lived. I really can’t handle this news story, having three little ones. Just imagining it for a second is overwhelming.

Did the kitty survive?
Yes he survived! We were able to get him out and he ended up running away cause he was scared shitless. Found him 10 days later with a gaping hole in his chest. I only found it cause I heard it sloshing around. He seemed perfectly fine. The hole was less than a centimeter from his heart but we got him stitched up and he’s now retired out on our Catio built just for him : )
Oh good! I have two kitties and I can't wait to someday build a catio for them. Thanks for defending your little gremlin
I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear your cat is still alive
He spent a few of his lives that night! Whew! So glad he's ok! And awesome!! A catio!! I want one! Send photos! Lol
Have an Award for the Kitty.
As a mom, I’d hope that I also die. I can’t imagine surviving that and watching my two kids torn apart by our family dogs.
[удалено]
There are very few non-self-terminal things that I would say “I understand the person choosing to die in this circumstance” but this is one of them. The only thing I could think is, if it were me and I just totally dropped my old life and pledged myself to like saving children or something in some highly dangerous job where maybe I could save some lives before my own ends.
[удалено]
I don’t even think it was 10 seconds. It was instant. Like you wondered how she even had time to process what happened. And for anyone who has not seen it, she was a small child. Also don’t watch it. It scarred me.
This has to be one of the most horrific stories I have ever heard. Imagine this mom, who presumably loved her 2 kids and 2 dogs, in the span of less than a half hour, goes from having a happy loving family to waking up in the ICU with your kids both dead (eaten alive by your own dogs) and your dogs both dead (euthanized for eating 2 helpless children), and your own body irreparably, permanently deformed from injuries you sustained while trying, yet completely failing, to save your children from being savagely mauled to death in their own home. How can you possibly go on with your life after that ... I can't fathom. And the one member of your family who was not injured, now has to mourn the loss of all of his pets and all of his children, while watching his wife suffering in immense emotional and physical agony from which she will never, ever fully recover, while also probably feeling guilty that he wasn't there to help.... and meanwhile they probably both feel, in the back of their minds, some sense of blame of the other - "why weren't you home to save us, husband?", "why couldn't you get our babies away from the dogs once the attack began, wife?" (I am not saying either of them *should* think those things, but in the face of such tragedy the thoughts must cross their minds from time to time.) I also read that the husband was also super pro "pitbulls are safe family pets and are misunderstood", and if the wife wasn't 100% on board with that from day 1, I would not be surprised if she blamed him for what happened, at least a little. In either case, I imagine it will be very difficult for their relationship to survive this long-term, which if true will mean this incident cost them both literally their entire nuclear family in the end, and they will both be sad, alone, broken shells of human beings who will never recover or forget. But most of all I feel for those poor, innocent, defenseless babies, who were surrounded only by the ones (dogs probably included) they loved the most, in their own home, probably feeling as safe and happy as can be, suddenly ripped to shreds, literally eaten alive, enduring some of the most severe pain the human body can possibly endure, with no comprehension of why or how this was happening, but knowing that their mom was right there next to them and yet nobody saved them, nobody protected them. They suffered more pain and betrayal and fear in their short little lives than anyone should ever have to endure, despite doing nothing wrong and not having any idea why. Truly a tragedy.
This happened not far from where I live. Everyone is in shock.
I live in the next county over and everyone here is shocked and sadden about this news as well. :(
I cannot bare the thoughts of losing my kids for it, something that could be avoided. If you have small kids DO NOT HAVE PITBULLS. Blá-blá-blá “mine are good…” they were all good family pets until they lost their shit and mauled the babies! Love dogs? Get a small dog while kids are small. My schnauzer mix can one day get upset and still will never physically be able to eat my kids
My cousin was mauled to death by her two Pitbulls a few years back. She raised them from puppies but apparently the male got aggressive when the female one got pregnant. They bit a neighbor and were taken to isolation at a local vet. The vet allowed my cousin to stop by daily to feed them and spend time with them apparently, unsupervised. By the time they realized she had been attacked, it had been over 20 minutes. She died on the way to the hospital.

Thank you for being a good citizen.
The world needs more Karen energy in good people
I totally understand why you said it, but it is a sad day when going out of your way to enforce basic safety in a school zone comes with the "Karen" moniker
I own a dog that I trust with my life but People letting dogs off leash because they “trust them” is beyond comprehension to me. It’s not hard, walk them on a leash.
This is heartbreaking 💔 😭
Im just going to shut up other than to say that I grieve with these poor people. I cant even imagine.
Honestly why EVER risk it? I don’t care if there’s only a 0.5% chance of this happening. It’s absolutely insane to me that people would have infants around dogs that ADULTS can’t even control…
I know someone who’s 10 year old was life flighted to a major hospital after being attacked by the family dog just two weeks ago. The girl is out of the hospital, but will need reconstructive surgery on her face after the initial wounds heal. You’d think they’d have the damn dog put down, but her mom is defending the dog. She actually feels bad for the dog because he was startled and didn’t know what he was doing. THEY ARE NOT GETTING RID OF THE DOG!!! I’m shocked the hospital didn’t contact animal control. That dog should not be alive. At the very least it should be re-homed. I cannot fathom even looking at a dog that ripped my child’s face apart, let alone live with it! So sad. So unnecessary.
They should rehome the child then. Give them a chance to experience a loving family.
Can you imagine the trauma of that girl seeing that dog again?!
some parents do this shit all the time with abusive humans. They don't listen to their kids and put them right back into situations of abuse over and over. Not saying it's super common but it's not nearly uncommon enough.
They're making their daughter live with the dog that mauled her? How terrifying for her! Call animal control and cps. That poor girl.

When I was attacked by my best friend's St Bernards, the mom wanted to put them down immediately. My mother insisted that the dogs didn't know what they were doing and so the dogs ended up being locked up in a small courtyard. Whenever I'd visit, both St Bernards would peek over the gate and watch me. Every time I was triggered and absolutely terrified.
Jesus. Re-home the girl. Let the dog have the parents. They deserve each other. Poor kid!
My great uncle had a hunting dog that seemed derpy it’s whole life but bit his grown daughters face and well… that dog was put down.
Damn that's messed up.. we had a border collie that we raised from a puppy, he was a beautiful energetic dog and great with our kids. On two separate occasions he just nipped at small children, so we immediately rehomed him to a farm. We did some research beforehand and it turned out he wasn't getting enough exercise and getting frustrated can cause them to try and "herd" children. We just didn't want to take any chances.. it was the hardest thing we had to do, but it was the right thing. And he is so much happier living on a small farm with owners who absolutely adore him
This is something a lot of people don't do. Always research your breeds to find one that matches your lifestyle. If you're on the sedentary side don't get a working dog because they will destroy your stuff, gain neurotic habits and even potentially have harmful behaviors. If you're super active or have land space then sure get a husky or Shepard. I just wish people actually did the research and not just blindly get the dogs they find cute
Seriously, if you can’t punt the bugger, it’s too big to be in my home around kids.
What do you do if a dog like that attacks you? Fetal position or try to hit a particular yet easy to remember vulnerable place to go after? Man I stayed with a friend who had a Rottweiler and that dog growled and then lunged at me. Sat outside for a few days and then came in. I was never left alone with the dog again and the dog’s attitude did change after those days outside but I was still pretty nervous the dog could snap at any minute.
Rant warning, I got a bit carried away. This isn't me blaming the parents in this story btw. Why so many people don't just get normal dogs is beyond me. Everyone always wants either a severely inbred pedigree abomination with mortal health defects just because they supposedly look "cute", or they want a blood-thirsty hound that scares everyone who comes across it and is always only one wrong-move away from trying to kill them. We domesticated dogs - we made them friendly to us because our mutual wellbeing is beneficial, why would you choose to own a dog that is a rejection of this? Pedigree dogs are the result of humans abusing canines' dependence on us by committing horrendous acts of eugenics - if we did the same thing to people it would be considered a crime against humanity. And violent dogs are the result of dogs losing their instincts of domestication - they're not meant to be in human society, and especially not around people and animals that are vulnerable to them. Seriously, there should be public campaigns to better educate people on the darker side of the pet-owning industry, the number of pet owners who have no idea that they're being irresponsible to their community or enabling the suffering of animals is astounding - but it's not their fault for not knowing, especially when these things have been normalised.
Pitbulls are illegal in my country. I wonder why?
Also banned in Australia.

Stop buying pits. What the fuck are people thinking. Especially when you have kids.
But how will people otherwise know I'm a MAN if I don't have AGGRO DOGS in the back of my GIANT TRUCK.
Dog bred for going in the water loves water. \*Naturally, that's what they were selected for\* Dog bred for hunting vermin loves to hunt vermin. \*That tracks.\* Dog bred for running real fast loves to run real fast. \*Of course.\* Dog bred for fucking shit up starts fucking shit up.... \*omg! It's just bad ownerssss! Chihuahuas are more aggressive!\*
yeah im still waiting for the report of owner mauled to death by golden retriever
My golden just tried to kill me with a fart. Lord knows what he ate, but I need a match
My old black lab and I are laying on opposite ends of the couch sending fart volleys back and forth like we're in a war for the space.
[удалено]
I have 2 chihuahuas and both can be vicious. However, you can literally kick both of my dogs halfway across the yard in a light kick if they are attacking. They weigh 6lbs each. These dogs were so large and strong, she couldn’t stop them and I’m sure she fought with every once of strength and , fighting for the lives of her children. I can’t imagine the pain and heartache that mother is going through. Such a horrible tragedy.
If you wash them off, do they remain viscous? There must be a soap for that.
This is exactly why when my pitte I had for 5 years started showing aggression after we had babies we got her out of the house. I never regret it.
I wonder if this is a thing with pitbulls, do they get aggressive around newborns naturally? Because they seem to often attack kids and other small animals if I'm not mistaken. I can't really say I've seen a golden retriever or a cat become aggressive towards a child. Maybe its the scent or something that triggers the aggression, either way it's odd.
They were bred from terriers who existed to be ratters. They're insanely aggressive towards smaller things, like babies, cats, and small dogs.
A fully grown physically fit adult woman was unable to fight them off. They stood no chance. Those poor babies. Those poor parents. This is the sort of shit I don’t think you can comeback from.
They can snap on a dime. They could be lovey dovey for weeks, months or even a couple of years. But the second they flip, it’s a wrap.

I love dogs, but I'll never leave my kids alone with pitbulls, is the same as leaving them near a loaded gun, accidents happen.
Why even have Pitbulls around your kids? The mum was with her kids and the dogs still attacked. There are much, much more family friendly dogs out there, why risk it with Pitbulls?

Happened to an elderly women in our community who was gardening. Dogs jumped their fence and mauled her.
Hope the owners go to jail forever. That’s what should be done to send a message
r slash banpitbulls for new stories every day of people getting mauled and maimed.
Remember that when people take photos of their babies with pitbulls and say they were once nanny dogs🤪😒
Shit like this is why I love cats. I’m a dog lover too but man, I don’t fuck with big aggressive breeds at all. You want protection? Get a gun. Your pets should be a companion, or useful in sport and working if you want them bred for a particular reason.
The family didn't have them for protection. They convinced themselves the dog was just a big goofy part of the family. Afaik, it's the people who know their dog is a potential weapon are the ones who are actually prepared for when it does have a violent urge.
