8-month-old boy killed by family pit bull in Maryland1

An 8-month-old boy was killed Thursday in Maryland when the familys
pit bull attacked him, authorities said.

Officers responded about 1 p.m. to Prancer Court in Lusby, Maryland, for the report of a dog attack, the Calvert County Sheriffs Office said in a statement.

The deputies, who arrived within a minute of the call, saw the familys pit bull attacking the boy €“ who was in the care of a family friend €“ and shot the animal to stop the attack. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

At a news conference Friday, Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans said that the pit bull was 6 to 8 years old and that the family had had it since it was a puppy. The dog attacked the baby €œout of the blue,€� he said.

€œOur hearts are heavy after this tragic event,€� Evans said. €œOur thoughts and prayers are with the family and everyone involved. No one should have to endure this type of traumatic event.€�

The dog, which weighed about 65 pounds, had no history of being aggressive and would be tested for rabies, the sheriff said. The family friend, a female neighbor who unsuccessfully tried to stop the attack, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the sheriff said.

Evans said that no charges would be filed and that the victims name would not be released at the familys request.

At the news conference, Tom Hejl, president of Calvert Countys Board of County Commissioners, said he favors pit bull restrictions in the county. The dogs have been outlawed in neighboring Prince Georges County for more than two decades.

€œI would hope that it would actually spur some conversation,€� he said.

Evans said the last fatal dog attack in Calvert County was in 2006 when a group of pit bulls killed their owner.

Your ignorance concerning a specific dog breed is astounding.

Pit bulls have a very bad reputation for things like this, perhaps the
worst of any dog breed. Whether that reputation is just or not, it
definitely exists. So the question is, why does anybody want to own a
pit bull?

Reputation aside, they can be a great dog. They can be trained, they
can behave well.

Unfortunately, many have been bread to fight. In some neighborhoods is
is a status symbol to be seen walking a nasty pit bull, like brandishing
a weapon. They ruined the breed, or at least a good portion of it.

I own four of them. They are a very loyal dog, good family dog, too.
Issues you read/hear about concerning this breed and others similiar
to it almost always involve some asshole human abusing the dog from
an early age. I've been around dogs like this since I was a kiddo
myself, and, I've *never* had an issue with ANY of them. Including
the ones we've rescued from asshole humans. One of my favorite very
protective hounds passed away last summer. I found him outside, with
no food, no water, no shelter, tied to a huge logging chain, wrapped
around an ancient rusting pile of **** dozer. I walked right up to
him, let him growl, etc, and attached my leash to his collar. And
then disconnected the logging chain. I towed him to my vehicle and
took him straight to a vet I've used for a very long time now to have
him checked out. Then, I took him home. I had him for nearly ten
years before he passed way. Didn't even try biting me, not one single
time.

His growl was for show, and, he knew I knew it too. heh. Like I said,
it's the asshole humans that give them a bad name.

Not of that is true...just another one of your one upmanship
word walls.

Diesel brought next idea :

That's 99% true.
My Father had a pit that would swing from a old tire on a rope slung
from a tree with great joy. This same pit let my Fathers grandkids
crawl all over her and she would lick them as the kids fell off her
back. Only issue was she hated other dogs and would tear them apart
when she would escape the chainlink fence keeping her in the backyard.

The 'gangsters' from Compton would walk their pit bulls with a spyked
collar and fight their other pits till they bled to death. Many pits
were turned over to the animal control and put down because of how they
were trained to kill. The punk gangsters got away from being
prosicuted, or given a lite fine for keeping a dangerous animal.

No dog is born with that "nature", it's trained into them. Pit bulls
just happen to be of a size that makes that kind of training produce a
dangerous animal. Some of the meekest dogs around are pit bulls that
have been raised in a normal fashion. Treat any large dog the way that
one undoubtedly was and you'll have a similarly dangerous animal.

Nice but there are way more killings by pit bulls than chihuahuas and
jack russles combined.

I don't doubt that but you should factor in that those looking to raise
a vicious animal are more likely to pick a pit than a chihuahua.
