The boy died from his injuries after the attack in his neighborhood. Police killed three dogs and had a fourth pit bull in custody, Sgt. Cassandra Lewis said.
The attack occurred while the boy was walking with his mother. The dogs crawled through a gap at the bottom of a fence and pounced.
“The mother tried to fight the dogs off,” Police Chief James Craig said. “What’s telling in this scenario (is) the viciousness of these animals, the fact that they removed this child from the mother’s grasp.”

same thing could happen almost anywhere in salisbury
ReplyDeleteA Pair of Pit Bulls are like that on Camden Avenue near the gas station and Main Street; TWO STRRETS DOWN and owned by "Black Lives Matter"....
ReplyDeleteThey are chained to a tree, but have attacked me and my dogs by breaking loose and charging me
All the punks who make these dogs attack think it's cool. Instead of putting the dogs down they should put the owners down.
ReplyDelete5:04 PM I agree.
ReplyDeletehope they give a sentence in jail to the owner of the pit bulls, probably not the first time they have gotten out, not restrained well enough for such vicious dogs. My heart and prayers go out to the mother.
ReplyDeleteRaise them well and this would not happen. Look at the people not the dog. map
ReplyDelete6:41 PM You hit the nail on the head. The owners poor abusive behavior and treatment of the dogs caused this. The owners should never be allowed to own any pet, and they should go to jail. The animals always are the ones to be killed. While this was a terrible accident, why didn't the mother be more aware of the surroundings and any potential danger before allowing her child to be exposed to it?
ReplyDeleteDetroit isn't known for being a nice, upset class neighborhood so the mother was probably use to the area and unfortunately the dogs managed to get out.
DeleteNot all pits are The Same
ReplyDeleteWell look at the bright side, at least it wasn't a gun.
ReplyDeletecall congress, we need tougher pit bull laws. climate change made them do it.
ReplyDeletePit Bulls have been know to be aggressive so they can not be trusted. They should not be left around kids of any age.
ReplyDeleteI do agree the owners of these dogs need to be charged with murder or negligent homicide.
Ban all dogs. Labs have bit more people then any other animal.
Delete7:27, have you every meet one that was owned by a loving and caring person? You only hear about the bad news about them that are owned by bad people not the ones that would protect and die for you that are owned by people that know how to show love. I have two that would only hurt by giving you to many kisses. map
ReplyDeleteI had pitbulls way back in the early and mid eighties one fawn and one white with brown spots one male and one female.Raised them since pups and these two were 2 of the best dogs i ever owned.
ReplyDeleteDa bury is full of 2 legged mongrels who cannot tend to there self let alone any animal.
All Pit Bulls need to be exterminated, they are just like Pedophiles, not all are killers, but all are no good.
ReplyDeleteReally? You are probably scared of dogs and one thing pits are good at is sensing fear.They don't understand why you are scared and think something is wrong with you and being protective is what comes next.I have had them for many years. They can be wonderful and like a gun in the wrong hands deadly, but most(excluding ones bred by unethical breeders for aggression) will give only love if that is what is shown to them. They were the most widely owned dogs pre ww2 the little rascals had one. They are the most highly decorated dogs in war, known to literally die for their owners. That being said they are not for everyone.
DeleteAll dogs should be banned period.
ReplyDeleteSavages who raise savage dogs.
ReplyDeleteWhite chick on Robinson st. Who loves thugs has a yard full who love to fight, damn near kill each other& break out. Day care across the st. Neighbors have complained. The local animal control deemed them "safe." The rights of tax payers at work.
ReplyDeleteBan Detroit!
ReplyDeleteI love pitties. They are highly intelligent and very loving and sweet. It is NOT TRUE they are killers and eat children. These dogs when given proper love, care and attention, and training (just like human children) grow up to protect their charges, and are the most loving and giving dogs. Many police forces use them because of their intelligence.
ReplyDeleteI have owned these dogs for decades and have also rehabilitated many dogs that were badly abused and neglected by the thugs that owned them. I have had dogs sent to me for help that people cut their tongues, burned their bodies with pokers, broke their leg bones, and beat them unspeakably. The conditions of these dogs would break even the hardest of hearts. After much money, medical care and time spent training with each dog, they recovered, and gave me so much love in return that I find it difficult to express in words. They are faithful, much more so than most people.
For those posters who said to ban these dogs, or ban all dogs, or have these dogs put to death, you have no love in your hearts and are completely devoid of mentally understanding the bond between a master and their dogs. For centuries, people have owned and loved dogs and in some cultures they are highly worshiped. in order to receive love you must give love and if you would educate yourself on the breed, you just might learn something.
Pits are just like guns and DUI, it's the dog, the gun and the car that kills. Let's not hold people responsible. What a joke.
