The family hired a forensic pathologist to review the case. It was determined that although the victim had sustained some dog bites, all the bites were non-lethal and post-mortem. The grandmother was not "ripped to shreds" by the dogs but died from cardiac arrhythmia. Both dogs were eventually returned to their owners.]

Animal control and the Alachua Sheriff's office confirm the dog was a mixed breed. Photographs of the dog reveal no discernable breed.]

thats too bad to hear... lets start responsibility within ourselves.. do remember,,, most bad dogs are due to bad and irresponsible owners.. there is no such thing as bad dogs... only irresponsible owners who just ride in for the fad...

Peeps,

Our beloved pits has a very negative impression... eventhough, the attack is made by a mixed breed. Basta mura ug pit ang nawong sa dog... nahala the blame goes straight to the Pit bulls...

Actually, any dog can bite/attack... ang-ang naman pud kun manumbag... it really boils down to responsible ownership and not direct the blame to the canine breed for that matter.

@godCode,

This is based on my experienced with my beloved pits ha... I had 4 of them right now... 3 are standard show type (1 male & 2 females) while the other one is a male bully - still a show type pit. Lambing kaayo sila, kaso lang kay mga kusgan kaayo. Dili gyud ta mo-kumpyansa labi na kung bata ang ilaha kaduwa. Kuyaw kaayo if matumba ang bata unya mahimo hinoon ug agressive ang dog tungod sa situation - kana makalitan pud sila ba. Yes, you're right na pwerte kusgana if makapa-ak... na mangalangkat gyud or dili gyud mamuhi. This is the nature of the breed man. We can not compare the power of the Pits to other breeds man. Pit Bulls is synonymous to powerÂ* .

Naa ra gyud na sa pagpadako sa dog... basta sa earlier stage of the dog's life i-expose lang sya sa tao ug uban dog... for sure, nindot kaayo ug temperament.

Pahabol:

Sa 4 nako ka Pit, wala diay ering na mag-paduol kay aggressive sila sa feline. Mao ni akoang na-observed. Naa man pud gud cat akoa sister.

@ akonasadni,

Bro, be careful lang sa pag-jer2x sa imoha pit. Pit ra pud na siguro noh & dili sa askal or lain breed (medium or large)? Kuyaw man gud if sa askal or other breed kay lisod na if ang temperament sa mga litter kay dili na gyud matag-an. Mokalit lang unya ug pama-ak or attack as what happened sa states. Mostly mga mixed breed w/ pit blood ang mga suspect...
