My cousin just called me...her sons pitbul bit her pekinese in the face. Unfortunately her pekinese is going to lose her eye. I'm here at work crying and just so devastated. Her girl is such an angel...I wish I could be with my cousin right now. She has to put her sons pitbul to sleep today and her son is not taking it well. She told me her younger sons school just called and told her that her little one is at school crying..he seen the whole thing. She's confused but I told her she has to do what she has to do. Please pray for her. Past 2 weeks have been horrible for her (other issues).

How sad for everyone involved. Poor little one who was attacked. Has
the pit been aggresive in the past? After this I hope things ease up
for your cousin. The only thing good about this is one of the kids
wasn't bitten.

The pit was not aggresive than again she is still a puppy. I guess it was over a bone she was chewing. I told my cousin the same thing...it could have been one of the kids. I'm going to take my cousin to pick her up from the vet today. My cousin is the sister I never had...we are very close and I feel so bad that I cannot be with her at this moment. She thinks her son is going to get depressed after she puts the pit down. I also asked if she can try to find a home for the pit. I just hate to see her have to do that..she's already hurting because she has to do it.

I am so sorry to hear such sad news! I will keep them in my thoughts! Hope they do not have to put the puppy down, he was just trying to keep his bone/chewey like any other dog. This is so sad!

Lexi Rae · 02-09-2007, 09:13 AM

I know ....I have to call her...after she told me the story.. I felt like maybe she (the pit) didn't mean it. Mine do the same thing..especially Mimi. When she has her pig ears she will not allow Timmy near her. She doesn't mind us grabbing it but Timmy can't.

I don't know...what does everyone else think?

That is so sad, I am sorry about the puppy that was attacked and I hate to hear about the pit bull that has to be put down. Can she rehome him instead...I don't think the pit bull was really being any differnt that what our yorkies would have been it is just that there jaws are so much more powerful that they their bites are much more likely to cause injury.

I'm trying to get ahold of her and see if she can just re-home her. I know deep down inside she does't want to do it.

My maltese(4yrs. old) is very protective of her chewey's when she is chewing on them and just growls a low growl as a warning to Toby. But if they are laying there and the Yorkie gets hold of it, she could care less. I really think, the immaturity of just being a puppy had a lot to do with it. jmo

cheryl000 · 02-09-2007, 09:50 AM

I think her putting the pit down is making it harder on the son. He might end up thinking it was his fault somehow. Make sure she lets him know that it wasn't his fault. Some dogs are more aggressive than others when it comes to their things.
I'm sure if it's a puppy she'll be able to find him a home. She can try craigslist, a rescue, or a no-kill shelter. Just make sure that she tells them the dog needs to be an only pet, no child home.
I hope your cousin works out her problems!

Tiger's Mom · 02-09-2007, 09:54 AM

Oh no . . . . that must have been so traumatic for the child. Perhaps they can just give him away instead of putting him down to sleep. I personally am scared of that breed

but I know it is just all about physical appearance. . .

Poor pekinese

Timmy · 02-09-2007, 10:04 AM

She dropped her off

She told me her son is angry and hurt.
