Last summer I arrived home to hear a kid screaming from a block away, and ran to find out why. It was a 10 year old whose parents were not home - he had climbed into the yard of the pit bull next door. The dog had attacked him, laying open his calf almost to the bone. I've never seen such a thing in my life.

I arrived after another boy had rescued him by pulling the dog off him. It would have killed him otherwise. I've never seen anything like it. It was horrifying.

I don't know why *anyone* would want to own a pit bull.

Not kidding.
