Editor,

An interesting fact that you might not be aware of is, last Saturday, a pitbull that resided somewhere in the neighborhood got out once again and ventured over to a neighbor’s house and killed her dog in front of her.

The dog killed was very old and actually had an assisted walking device. Blood was all over the walkway and driveway.

I came home to witness four cop cars in front of the neighbor’s house and one officer washing the blood off my fiancee’s hands and arms from her trying to get the dog off the poor victim.

The owner of the pit bull decided not to venture to the house to offer any form of help, yet decided to send her boyfriend, who sat on the front of the cop car quietly.

This has not been this dog’s first attack, and it has repeatedly gotten out and terrorized the neighborhood. Just last week, the dog attacked two gals walking their bulldog. Luckily, they were able to get away without any major injury to them or their dog. The police were called during that incident but nothing was done about it.

Due to animal control and the police department’s lack of commitment to the community, this animal was allowed to destroy a family’s life.

We have many children that play in the street and even walk their dogs. God forbid if one of these children was ever killed by this dog.

In fact, someone from the pit bull owner’s family put a plea on Craigslist for someone to save their dog.

Do we want this dog going to another community and destroying other lives, or does this family deserve some form of justice or at least an apology from the attacker’s family?
