Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old

[TripleThreat]

Two young children are dead and their mother suffered major injuries after two family dogs attacked a baby and toddler outside their West Tennessee home.Kirstie Bennard, 30, suffered critical injuries when she tried to intervene in the attack on her 5-month-old boy, Hollace Dean, and 2-year-old girl, Lilly Jane, family and police said.

"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.

It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.

The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.

"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."

How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).

I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts.

Why are you such an angry little boy lately? Girl prollems?

I don't have a sword. At least not when I leave the house.

I'm always angry in this thread. You'd be angry too if something almost killed your dog.

I've had more labs come after me than any other breed. But that's probably just a numbers game since Denver's lab population is in excess of 100 million.

For some reaoson, though, pits are the fad of the past couple of years. I may see more pits than labs in the parks and streets these days, and that's amazing given our 100 million labs.

Dogs are just weird sometimes. I remember jogging through the park once and there was an older woman at a very safe distance from me. Maybe 40 feet away, walking partly in the same direction. She had two labs on leashes, and one of them had a psychotic break on me. I was impressed that she was able to hold it on the leash because it randomly decided to kill me.

At the Nuggets/Celtics game there was an even split of fans. Where the hell are all these fans during the daytime?

Probably about 20 years ago, when i was still a road tech, i pulled up a driveway and parked as a group of kids were leaving. As i was walking around my truck and they were pulling out, the kids in the back seat had their heads turned all the way around watching me and i was wondering "wtf?". As i approached the left side ohd of a 2 car garage (the right side was closed) a rot walked out of the garage. This sob had a head bigger than mine and if you've ever seen my head you've gone "damn, you got a big head". Anyway...i didn't even break stride. I walked past the dog and even turned around and snapped my fingers and called for it to come. Knocked on the door and the lady that answered looked past me at the dog and her eyes got real big. She walked straight past me without saying a word, grabbed the dog by the collar and walked it over to a chain link dog house that they had made between the two garage doors. Then she turned around and said, how did you get by the dog?

I just told her that i have plently of experience with animals and i've been doing stuff like that my whole life.

No bites, no growls, no drool. Just a confused look. From the dog, not her.

Buddy of mine had a huge rot. If it was attached to a chain or in the back bed of his truck, nobody but my buddy could approach it. That dog was scary. Once it was detached from the chain or roaming on neutral ground, it was sweet as a puppy.

Can’t wait until your autobiography. Is the working title still Blowhard?

Seriously, people, I don't think it's unreasonable for a former mailman to have a problem with big nasty dogs. We've all got our personal demons. And I assume that dealing with snow, rain, heat or gloom of night is far less troubling than being attacked by Cujo.

That being said, I think if I had a problem with big nasty dogs I wouldn't put myself in a position where I still have to regularly, randomly encounter them. Get a cat, Clay. You don't have to walk them.

Uh, I ****ing DON'T. I avoid the areas they live.

And I HAVE a big nasty dog. It's just the pits I have an issue with.

I grew up with a doberman FFS. Dude was a sweetie. Pits are evil.

I don't think any of us care what he's scared about until he decides we should be scared too. And in such adult ways.

**** that noise.
