Would it be in the news if it was just mongrel dogs?

The death of a child?  Probably, especially as the dogs' owner failed to properly restrain them.

But I know of cases where dogs attacked children, adults, even armed police, and it didn't go national. "Pitbulls" is a buzz word.

They are discussing it on NPR - and talking how to survive a dog attack.....

"Poke it in the eye" .."shove your wallet down it's throat"..


Jesus Hockenmeyer Christ.


...

How about "Shoot the sonofabitch".?

It's what I'd do.

It's TV ratings.


If it bleeds it leads...

Yup. Fatalities are rare though.

Dog bites? German shepard was #1 for a whole lotta years..

Sure, given the total number of dogs in the US.  But the rarity of fatalities is immaterial in determining which dog breed has killed the most people.  In the same time frame (2005-2017) that Rottweilers, German Shepherds, mongrels, American bulldogs, Mastiffs, Labs, huskies, boxers and Dobermans killed combined killed 146 people, pitbulls killed 284.

Pitbulls are a very dangerous breed of dog.  It doesn't matter all that much if the danger is from nature, nurture, or both.  The fact is that if you are killed by a dog in the US, it is most likely to be a pitbull.

Context - 

That's less than 30 per year.

Lightning? Averages 50 per year.

So not at the top of my.worries.

I feel bad for the girl, and the dogs. Obviously the dogs were trained poorly. No matter the breed, pets should not be killing people.
