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.

FFS man, you are 40 years old. Move out of the goddamn ghetto. That picture looks like it was taken in Beirut. Chain link fence, no grass, random machinery just sitting around. Have some ****ing respect for yourself.

That's actually a pretty nice house. Probably sell for close to 250k.

This isn't a terrible neighborhood. My dog would be dead already in the real ghettos of KC.

Perceptions vary I guess. 250k in KC is a starter home.

Pretty 1300 sqft nice house with a 2-car garage. You seem uppity.

Hard to tell but might be mastiffs. Completely awesome dogs when trained.

Not a bad home for a 23-25 year old couple getting into their first home to build up some equity. A 40 year old man should have higher aspirations.

Go **** yourself you snobby ****. No 1300 sq ft house in that price range is a "starter" home. There are houses worth half that around here.

My first thought. The one with its head up isn’t even a standard pit bull. It’s mix at best - possibly not a pit at all.

The owners said it was a pitbull. It is likely a mix with a mastiff, which makes it even more dangerous. I can see the smaller pit grabbing a hold and the other one following the lead and literally ripping prey apart with it's powerful neck muscles. It would be like being mauled by a bear.

We supposed to trust your dipshit neighbor who lets his 80-pound dogs roam the barrio unleashed?
