Oh fgs, when will they learn not to these type of dogs around kids.

• The dog which mauled Bella-Rae Birch to death was an 'American bully' bought by the father 'off a mate' 
• Neighbours told MailOnline: 'Even an adult wouldn't stand a chance against a dog like that' 
• Little toddler was brutally killed by the vicious animal at home in St Helens, Merseyside on Monday 
• Her mother Treysharn Bates has launched a crowdfunder to cover funeral costs as police probe dog 

 

Bringing a dangerous bull type dog into a family situation where kids are under a certain age should be made illegal. It's bad enough with a 'normal' type of dog, never mind one of these.

These type of people think a bad ass dog like this gives them some kind of status. The fucking idiots.

 You have to understand dog psychology.   Toddlers are at eye level with a dog and that's a threat sign for them if they come forwards to cuddle or maul the dog.   Young kids don't realise that dogs like their space too, and will often snap as a warning.  The trouble with the pit bull types is they don't just snap, they hang on.  That's what they've been bred to do.

 Exactly.  Kids don't always given them space. They grab them around their neck, can be startling for a any dog.

The problem is that the breeds that require the most knowledgeable owners, often attract the most idiotic.
