       Oh please Linda. That pitbull had the perfect opportunity to rip
       your sister and her dog to shreds and didn't do anything to
       either one of them. With that being said....dogs should not be
       allowed to run loose so the owners should be fined for having a
       loose dog.

       What type of dog is this? What would you do if it came "
       charging" at you? Do YOU feel intimidated by this dog? This is a
       white Boxer. Many people were afraid of him and wrongly accused
       him of being a pitbull.   In his 12 years of life, his most
       serious crime was hurting a teenager with a HUG!
       Here is my point, there are probably more injuries that occur
       from over re-action from the sight of a strange dog than actual
       attacks as evidenced by another posters story.If you don't know
       the dog, use common sense when approaching it. If you encounter
       a strange dog, move slowly and avoid any quick movements. Learn
       to identify the dogs breed. There are certain breeds that tend
       to be more aggressive than others but that does not mean ALL
       dogs of that breed are aggressive.
       This latest shooting is a sad showing of things to come. The
       dog was purposely let out and another dog at the residence
       stayed in the kennel COWERING when the owners returned home.
       They did the right thing by notifying the police to see if
       anyone had reported a stray dog  only to be told the cops shot
       and killed the dog. What will be interesting to see where the
       killing shot hit the poor dog. If the entry wound was broad side
       or rear to front, that will show that the cop lied and purposely
       killed it just because.

       This dog is indeed a pit bull. And it has shown aggressiveness
       towards people and other dogs before. It cannot be trusted off
       its leash. If I'm being charged by a known aggressive dog I'm
       going to do what I can to GET THE HE!! away from the thing.
       I hope when this thing finally does get ahold of someone it's
       one of their own family members...not mine. Then we can hear the
       same old sob story about how "she was a sweet dog...loved
       everybody. We don't know what happened. Boo hoo. "

       there have been 34 killings by pit bulls(and mixes) this
       year--as of Sept---have been around lots of great(at the moment)
       pit bulls but wouldn't trust one!!  And an owner that is out
       with their dog without a break stick is irresponsible--

       They get a bad rap because those are the dogs the bad people in
       our society are training to be aggressive these days.  Drug
       dealers and gangbanger's dog of choice.
       Prior to Pitts it was Rotts, Dobermans, Shepherds....
       I'd be curious who the owners in Linda's case are.  I bet not
       society's finest.

       They are actually decent people.
       With a bad breed of dog.
       Btw, my sister did call the police, after she got reports from
       neighbors that this mutt has run loose before.

       I don't think pits are a bad breed although I understand why
       some might. They are capable of doing substantial damage if they
       aren't in good hands.  They aren't a good breed for everyone.
       We fostered a pit when the boys were young, he was shot in the
       head just for being a pit and survived.  Gentle, quiet dog.  I'd
       have no qualms about getting another.

       Linda seriously? Before you were saying the dog was a pit
       bull...now you are saying its a mutt. You have your mind made up
       that all pit bulls are vicious. They are not. That dog never
       touched your sister even when she was helplessly laying on the
       ground screaming her head off. I have my doubts that it even
       charged at her as claimed. I think her fear of pit bulls might
       have sent her imagination running wild. A vicious dog would have
       attacked...especially when she fell and showed her fear by
       screaming...yet you think the dog should be shot???
       I just had to have my companion and best friend put to sleep
       Friday. A German Shepherd who would have given her life to
       protect me if need be but who was gentle to the point of letting
       kittens sleep with her and eat out of her food dish. Like Rapids
       mentioned....German Shepherds used to be the most hated and
       feared breed. Now its the pit bulls getting the bad rap thanks
       to the media sensationalizing each pit bull story like they used
       to do with Shepherds, Dobermans and Rotts.

       Jeepers. You weren't there. My sister was.
       And when I use the word "mutt" I mean "worthless, vicious piece
       of $hit dog."
       This dog isn't one of those bull$hit stories about a Pitt that
       cuddles with babies. It lives on a chain in the backyard and
       snarls at anyone in sight.
       Oh, and by the way? Turns out this MUTT was reported for being
       off its leash and showing aggression before. So please remember
       that before you call me a liar.

       This is a post from the dogs owner. Linda, think if it was your
       kitties that were shot and bagged in a "garbage" bag!
       "Monday while on my way there I prayed to God to give me the
       strength to get through all of this. I was so worried. I didn't
       know how I would be able to make it through this day. I couldn't
       just leave her there. I couldn't abandon my pretty girl. I love
       her and I wanted her home. It had to be me to go get her but how
       could I? I know she had been murdered. My heart was pounding
       with grief and fear, They wanted me to identify her body. I
       couldn't. I just couldn't look at her all shot up with bullet
       holes. Part of me was dying inside. My mouth went dry and hands
       shook. I begged them to look her picture and to not make me have
       to look. I can't open my eyes to see what they had done to my
       girl. My sweet friendly outgoing girl has been shot and killed
       by the very people we put the most trust in. The one stranger
       who should be there for us when we need someone most. Our most
       trusted had betrayed me in the worst way. They had murdered my
       furkid. As I stood there waiting for them to have a chat in the
       back room about the identity thing. My hands shaking and not
       able to swallow, short of breath, even though I had not done
       anything to cause this other then stand her and wait. It was the
       waiting and not knowing if I would be forced to see my baby
       riddled with bullet holes. While I was waiting for them to bring
       her out, I asked the lady at the desk if they were called to
       help catch Miley she told me they were not called until it was
       all over and Miley was dead. My heart just sank. Why didn't that
       officer call for them to come catch her? Why did he kill first?
       Finally they came out. Finally the tiny bit of relief they said
       they could tell it was my dog that had. The bitter sweet of
       that. I would get my girl back home with me but in such a way I
       could never hold her again. I held back my tears, fighting, not
       wanting to let others see my pain. Finally they brought out my
       girl. The shock of seeing my sweet girl wrapped on a garbage bag
       tied off at the end. A garbage bag? Is this what the fate of my
       girl had become? garbage? I handed them the blanket I had
       brought with me. At least she could look like she was wrapped in
       the warmth from home. At least she would not look like the
       garbage that man had treated her like when he shot her dead.
       They wrapped her in that warm blanket from home and they placed
       her gently in the back seat of my car. This is our final ride
       home in the car. She loved her car rides. I got in the car after
       they had walked away. I was just broken. I broke down and cried
       like I had never before. No one should feel this betrayal of
       trust. No one should have to ride home with the dead bullet
       ridden body of a loved family member stuffed in a garbage bag
       and wrapped in a blanket in the back seat of a car. Trying to
       wipe the shocking sight of her in that garbage bag from my mind
       hurt so bad. trying to picture her happy and bouncing to play.
       Loving everyone she met along the way in her life. There were no
       strangers to Miley. After some time just letting tears carry
       shock and pain away from me I was able to drive home. Just
       trying to remember to breath helped to hold off tears as I drove
       the road to home. I don't know how I made it home. It was the
       longest drive I think I had ever been on. I sat in the car in
       the driveway and was broken once more. I got out of the car and
       left part of me still sitting in that drivers seat. I walked
       inside the house feeling as empty as I ever have.
       When my son Elijah was home he came with me to take Miley to
       someones home with a full size freezer. As Elijah picked her up
       a friend tried to help him but he looked hard at them shrugging
       the offer. He would carry her. He alone would do this last thing
       for his jogging partner, his play mate, his friend and sister.
       Now Miley is in a safe private place. We are not sure just yet
       what we will do next but we know she is home and safe.
       Never again would we play our favorite game of hide and seek.
       Miley standing by me as my daughter ran out of sight and I would
       send her to "find Phaedra Miley! Go find Phaedra!" No more games
       of tug o war with her grumbles of fun and joy at the game.
       Grandpa was the best with tug. No more walks next to grandpa as
       he mows the lawn. Miley's out on her every other day jog of 3 to
       6 miles with Elijah her brother and my son. Oh how they went
       running together as team. I will miss my evening cuddle time
       with her every evenings. Now Phaedra sleeps alone as well. My
       PTSD will no longer have the warning from Miley as I have had.
       She was my warning that the symptoms were coming on. She was my
       strength to get me through those moments when I could not stand
       alone. Now I hold an empty leash with nothing on the end of it.
       I stand alone. No other dog can take her place. No other dog can
       hold the other end of this leash. No other."
