Imagine how quickly people would take necessary precautions if dog owners would be charged with assault/battery/homicide if their pets harmed someone unprovoked.
Was it unprovoked? If a stranger grabbed your child out of your hands you will attack this is nature the mother of the child attempted to rescue hers, the people screwed up.
@@banditdog1338 it's a toddler that got attacked. If the toddler wasn't actively harming the puppy yes it is unprovoked. Not to mention if the dogs attacked a TODDLER they could have also attacked an adult. It just wouldn't have been as likely to be fatal if an adult was attacked. Those dogs should have absolutely been restrained to prevent this. The breeders are 100% responsible for this kid's death because dogs who just had babies are known for being aggressively territorial around strangers. I have some experience with breeders and I have actually been attacked by a momma who got out of a back yard while waiting for an Uber. You don't take chances with stuff like this unless you are irresponsible.
A hamster is actually not fit for more than most people. Just to be "that one" and take the opportunity to inform. I know it's a phrase used, but I hate it just as much as the "being treated like a dog".
A hamster runs up to 9 km (~5miles?) foraging at night, so they actually need A LOT of space. Which means a large cage with 25-40cm (10-15") of bedding in height to dig tunnels in. They're not the easy pet it seems like. That's why they often st arve and unalive way too early. 🤷🏻♀️
@@petrac2840 "Unalive" is not a word in any dictionary. I believe the term you're searching for is "die." Try to keep up. And grow up. Use big person language. You sound like a three-year old.
Because those organs are worth several hundred thousand a piece. Could be wrong could not. Maybe this is y money shouldn't be involved huh? The hospital sure to keep him alive for that money.
@@TiffanyRoseLumpkin’Lol for the kid’? What’s that supposed to mean? You think a baby being savaged is amusing or does Lol mean something different to you?
You are absolutely correct I have 3 children my children attacked by dogs according to the owner called the sweetheart and dose not bite since then me, my wife and children scared of dogs still people breaking the law by unleashing their dogs if tell them please put them on leash they would tell me they don’t bite they are the sweethearts which I don’t like
Backyard breeding needs to be banned. It should be illegal to breed and sell animals without any oversight that animals are taken care of properly. Animals are a money market and they shouldnt be
@@BabyT709 backyard breeders are a problem...we were top notch breeders who went to classes and belonged to Kennel Associations...we knew to show pups separate from adult dogs from our meetings and common sense.
@@mrpattersontheartguy why not the parents too? There was plenty of negligence to go around. I know if I had a 3-year-old I wouldn't let it anywhere near an American Bulldog.
Never trust an owner's judgment of their own dog. I've been bit twice, and both times the owner said, "It's ok, he/she is friendly!" despite the dog clearly displaying aggressive behavior. It's some kind of weird denial that their dog is indeed a dog that may do dog things.
Complete irresponsibility on the breeder's part. You don't have strangers who are not known to the dog parents around the puppies with their dog parents there. ALL animals have the instinct to protect their young. Rest in Peace to this sweet boy 😔
If the parents are vicious why are you breeding them? I've been around actual breeders my entire life and a respectable one would never breed dogs that would do this.
As a roofing contractor I’ve been around countless vicious dogs. Once a man and his 60 lb mixed breed met me at my truck as I got my ladder out. The man was pleasant and his dog was calm though I knew since he only wanted to approach me from behind to be careful. The man told me what he wanted me to know and then he went back inside. As soon as the front door slammed closed the dog attacked me from behind. He bit me several times before I could react. Thankfully my clip board was made of metal and I kept him away from me while I backed up to my truck. I was so angry at that dog. By the time the man came back outside he asked me what was wrong. All I said was your dog did attacked me. He said as people always say, he has never bitten anyone. I threw my ladder in my truck and drove away. Another stop was a guy who had a lot going on across the street on a Saturday. A 3 year old girl was attacked by the family pit bull and killed while mom and dad slept in on a Saturday morning. The people were certain the dog had never been aggressive.
That's really bad, sorry that happened to you. I also go to people's homes every day to do work. I have had people cuss me out for trying to protect myself from a biting dog. The worst one as far as owners go (even though I didn't get hurt) was a dog trying to bite me through my leather boot while I was talking to the owner. The lady was in such denial she acted like her dog would never do such a thing even though she was looking directly at me while it happened.
A dog being aggressive should have no bearing on judgement. The potential is always there, as evidenced not just by the protective nature but by the fantasy most owners have of their dog scaring away robbers!
Backyard breeding must be outlawed. These people care about nothing more than money. Anyone with a working brain knows you don't have anyone handling puppies in front of their parents. Now, 2 dogs along with a small child are gone as a result of this stupidity. The breeders need to be arrested and face charges.
I've owned 5 German Shepherd's, got them all from the same breeder over the years, own 3 now, all dog parents where there when we chose the puppy, but, because all the dogs are well trained, that's the difference, people get dogs then don't even bother to get them basic training, especially breeds that have tendencies to be aggressive. I agree, the backyard breeders, should be banned.
@@TheLexiecheyexactly there are responsible breed standard breeders. However, the average person should adopt not shop! If you aren't showing or working your dog, a shelter dog needs a home.
@@MosesGomez-o7eThat’s exactly why backyard breeders need to be stopped. They just get a pair of dogs they like and raise them until they’re old enough to start breeding and that’s what they do. They don’t breed for temperament, health or any other traits that would enhance the breed. They breed for money. A reputable breeder will only breed dogs with good temperament, no health issues, etc. This keeps the breed within breed standards as set by either the AKC or the Working Dog Breeders Association. They will also give you the puppy’s lineage going back at least four generations. With backyard breeders, they might have the names of their dogs’ parents but, probably no more than that. And they rarely have the information needed to have them registered. Please, please, please, stop buying from backyard breeders! You have no idea what could be wrong with the puppies and you could be getting one that’s going to cost you thousands in vet bills. Don’t take the chance. Buy from reputable, registered breeders who can give you names and contact info for past buyers so you can confirm the health and temperament of your puppy. It’s worth the money to buy from a breeder who’s registered with whichever group does the registration for their puppies.
Not when handling her puppies,,no. Parents were stupid to put their kid in this situation. They obviously don't know crap about dogs . And how mothers will protect their young regardless who you are.
Agreed. Parent Dogs, especially the mother dog should be kept away from strangers when you are showing puppies. If buyers want to see the Parent dogs, show them separately from the puppies, and don't let children come into that area. Leave the Parent dogs in your back yard or kennel, and take the puppies inside the house, garage, front yard, somewhere secure away from the parent dogs sight. By taking the puppies to another area, you relive the protective instinct of the Parent dogs. Children that age don't know how to handle, play with, or touch puppies. They will usually hold them wrong, pinch the puppies skin by trying to grab them, etc, causing the puppy to yelp and excite the Parent dogs. This is a tragic situation, condolences to the family.
@@vpej8508 it's sad that dog attacks are still killing people and children , what a lovely pic of an innocent child dressed up in playful clothes to see his life sadly taken away , dogs are animals with ability to kill not just in the wrong hands but in their own nature to defend and protect its own , we need to remember this , mother's will protect their offspring whether it's humans or animals
The American bulldog is a large, muscular breed of mastiff-type dog and they are not a breed to be taken lightly. All dogs bite, and precautions should be taken to keep you and your family safe. What an absolutely tragic story!
In the era of social media, you have idiots who do stupid things with dogs because people never post when dogs get aggressive or snap so people only see one-side and don't see the dangers... SMH
I have a beautiful very well trained German Shepherd and everytime somebody gets close, I warn them but some people say that they are ok with him. Drives me insane. It is trained but still it is an animal. Anything can make him upset. Other thing is that I take him to dog park odd hours when nobody is there. If somebody comes, we leave. Sometimes they say that we don't have to leave. I tell them that I don't want any other dogs around him. The guy didn't listen and didn't give us time to leave. His dog attack mine and got his lesson. There are so many idiots around. I love my fur baby but he is an animal and genes comes from wolves.
I agree, took my son to the park. A dog with no leash comes running towards my son. Thank god i got to him first, then the owner comes up sayn if u dont run he wont attack. Im like the f* i dont know your dog, he dont know me. He will bite me if he sees me as a threat. People with dogs needs to control them or dont have them.
Yo, these are my neighbors. My kids play with Christian almost every day. You should shut your F-in mouth. I guess this is a thing they never knew about (I never thought about it personally) - dogs have always been awesome to me growing up. Weird, speak of the devil, Christian (older brother) just stopped by to play with my daughter as I’m writing this. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a bot account, but if this is a real person…you’re lucky you’re on the other side of obscurity.
Right!! Once but twice the little boy slippedout..news report said ..even after a first attack??parents chose that breed shows they were not fully educated.
I mean I get your sentiment but that’s a bit extreme. We had our golden for 10 wonderful years before he had to be put down 🥹 and he would’ve done everything to protect those kids. But absolutely agree that if you don’t know the animal, then do not leave them.
@@Psychiatricnerd this was a child left with a dog unknown to the mom. Dogs aren’t people. Any dog can lash out if they feel threatened. Goldens are not known to have a mean bone in their bodies but people are too trusting with dogs. They forget they are animals.
And... if you are an owner of a lg breed dog or a breed that has a guardian Nature.... protect your dog. Don't allow people to touch your dog!!! If someone asks, just politely say "no, she/he is still in training and isn't ready to be touched by strangers yet" and then Thank them for asking. Remember, when you get a dog, that dogs life is in your hands. How you handle situations like strangers could be the difference between your dog living or not. Although many dogs can almost seem human sometimes, they aren't and their future depends on you. Keep them safe !!!!
The breeder is responsible for it alone. The mom want watching her kid is what it sounded like. She could have asked that the dogs be put up. So she is at fault also.
The parents are (tragically) also responsible. They have eyes and judgement. It's never a good idea to take babies to unknown places with unfamiliar dogs. But I do hurt for them, of course 😢 This accident was 100% avoidable.
@@notaclu6911 sadly so many people don’t respect this ! SO many ! Especially year long dog owners - I feel we romanticise animals too much. People who’ve grown up on a farm like my mom always knew what a dog is, and their parents did too. Yes they can be great friends but they’re animals and awareness needs to always be there.
I am so sorry to hear this. My son was also attacked when he was 8 unprovoked by a pitt bull. It never ceases to amaze me how the breed is still legal. Owners need tougher consequences. The INSURANCE companies will drop homeowners of certain breeds. The owner's insurance has to pay for the attack for medical cost work time lost ect. and civil lawsuits.
I heard a lot of stories about children being attacked and killed by their own family pit bull. The dogs were raised from puppies in a loving home and just one day snapped.
You cant even spell the name - therefore its unlikely that you correctly identify one either - and that right there is why they are "legal". Because people like you label everything "pitt bull" even though you can't even spell it.
@@Tony-Steel64 What irony? The owners showed puppies in front of the parent/s, including a toddler mishandling and stressing her pups out! Mom and dad let their toddler stress out puppies in front or the dog parent/s. Both sides bear responsibility for the encounter, though the breeder is at fault for not enforcing/ protecting.
When I got a puppy the parents were in a completely different area behind a dog run cage. My dog is half blue heeler half border collie. The mother blue heeler lunged at me through the cage when it saw me with her baby walking to the car. There is a reason you never have strangers near puppies when the mother is present especially people who are taking the babies away! What was wrong with this breeder!
Agreed! I’ve always been good around dogs that didn’t know me, yet I still used extreme caution when picking out my wolf/hybrid pup. The male parent was a great big goof, extremely laid back, but the mom (practically pure timber wolf) was not liking anyone being around her pups. (Which is an absolutely normal and understandable reaction.)
Wow something terrible was happening at that breeding place. Why was the poor mother in a cage? Blue heelers were not bred to have aggression in them like pit bulls so it’s strange that she would behave this way when taking a puppy.

Does actually nobody questions why parents with very small kids would even consider owning such a big dog to start with and that from a breeder of dogs with questionable temperament.
The size is less important than the breed. One of the largest dogs in the world, the Great Pyrenees, is one of the best family breeds, because they are so nurturing and their herding instincts make them great at watching over children. Mastiffs are another large breed that does well around kids in a family unit. Great Danes are massive, but also big babies towards their family.
Because our culture purposely makes it seem like dangerous things are just fine by design so that our society has a lot of bad things happening in it so the ruling class can turn to the people and say you guys are irresponsible and don't deserve freedom let's have your freedom that you do have left taken away because of all the bad things happen that happened because we allow it to
@@Marvolo14 that’s all very well, if you have the knowledge, time and means to train them which I really don’t think everybody has. If you want a certain breed of dog please use an accredited breeder that breeds foremost for character. I don’t think a well balanced dog from a serious breeder would kill a toddler for just playing with a puppy that is ready to leave for a new home.
Exactly. Good question. Leaving their young kids alone, with these highly temperamental dogs and their puppies. Yikes. What a terrible lesson to learn.
I have a Pitt Bull and she is my baby, my everything. But if I had a baby it would only be fair to all of us to get her a new home where she doesn’t even have the chance to hurt the baby on accident
@@BBB-to4ccI was with you til you made excuses for the dog by saying "on accident" 😂. GTFOH....a pit bull doesn't attack a baby by accident. They don't "accidentally" maul children.
@99Em07 no dog with the instinct AND ability to kill humans should ever be bred. They clearly cannot be domesticated any more than a lion. A spaniel mother may feel a protective instinct for her pups but she is NOT able to KILL a human.
In my family, when we buy dogs or cats, we want to see the parents, and they're often in the same room than their babies. We never had an incident: the parents are psychologically well-balanced and like being around humans (or, at least, they don't care). They're nice even when their babies are still not weaned (we like to chose our pet early, and regulary visit the breeder before taking our pet at home). The only precaution I would take, it's the usual NEVER LET A KID ALONE WITH ANIMALS.
Obviously they had no idea they would attack. There are lots of second guessers on here that just assume everyone should have known the risks. I'm confident no one wanted this to happen. Personally, I didn't know that this breed was capable of attacking like that either.
@99Em07 Never let a kid alone with dogs. NEVER. Even if your dog is the nicest in the world, even your kid is the most well-behaved kn the world, your kid can still do something stupid and piss them off. I've been with dogs all my life and my parents taught me how to be nice and respectuous with them, and I was a child very easy to raise, but they still had to prevent my silly young butt to try new stupid games with the dogs.
My parents put me in extremely dangerous situations with dogs when I was a child. They cared a lot more about the animals and their own children were secondary. Everyone is sympathizing with the poor parents. But they aren't the ones who were torn apart. They were the ones who were supposed to keep their child safe.

I'll never forget. I went once with family and their young child when they were looking at adopting potential dogs and my female family member had shared with me that she was nervous. The dog might be too rambunctious, but her husband was really excited about it. It was a beautiful bully mix, kind of reminded me of chance from homeward bound. We went into a meeting area. Their daughter was about four or so at the time. I had been attacked by a dog as a child and just knew I wanted to keep my eyes on it. Thank goodness. Because at one point the parents were having a sidebar conversation and were not looking. While she was playing with the dog I noticed its body language was getting more aggressive. It lunged at her after jumping behind her and was trying to get its jaws around her neck. Without thinking I jumped between them and pushed my hand into its mouth and kept pressing until it gagged and backed off. Animals can be wonderful and our best friends, but we need to be aware that they're still animals - Just because they're cute doesn't mean we know how they're going to behave. I'm so sorry for this family. They were looking to add a family member and ended up losing a child. So good of them to donate his organs and I hope it gives them peace that he will live on in those children that he helps to save. 💞💐 Edited for spelling Thank you for the likes and love. Still can't imagine losing a young boy like this, sending the family lots of love and hugs. I hope they feel the support from their community. Sending gratitude because they are spreading awareness and also giving the gift of life for others after this tragedy. ♾️💐
I was even careful with my goofy springer spaniel. I loved him to death, but I was always so careful especially around children. I didn’t trust him or the child! I taught my doggo to lie down and to be extra gentle when kids were around. He was only 40 lbs, but you never know what could happen. -that was brave of you. Best
“Trying to get it’s jaws around her neck” visualizing was horrific enough I can’t imagine what the parents in this video are going through. Definitely a cautionary tale…
Breeder needs to be charged. Edit: I think ppl misinterpreted my comment. When I said breeder needs to be charged I meant this specific one as A) irresponsible breeder leaving the adult dogs in with the puppies whilst strangers are looking at the puppies. Any breeder worth their salt knows to lock the adult dogs away. B) even if the parent was lax and left the children alone with the strange dogs and puppy, the breeder should have known not to leave kids unattended with dogs. This behaviour indicates that this breeder is irresponsible and most likely just “breeds” for money and doesn’t address dog socialising issues/discipline - Which for these breeds IS A MUST. ALL the adults in this situation let down the little boy. Parent shouldn’t have also allowed the child there unsupervised with strange dogs. Unfortunately, the family has had to pay a terrible price. Condolences to the family.
@@josephinetracy1485 It apparently wasn't a Bully - just an American Bulldog. But I agree with you - owning a Bully is like owning a gray wolf. Way too risky.
@@lauratohome If you've ever seen a pit bull or american bulldog get on a child in less than 3 seconds you'd understand. Just walking past a house your kid can die in less than a minute.
Breeder should have REFUSED to sell that breed to a family with small children. And the parents were foolish to even consider it. Shame on all the adults.
"my dog is a good dog" famous last DELUSIONAL words. a dog is a DOG. for whatever reason it chooses, it will tear somebody's head off. and if it is YOUR dog, YOU should be accountable as if YOU had done the deed.

A mother dog with puppies can be aggressive when people mess with them, especially strangers. I wonder if the parents were put up or restrained while the owner was showing the pups.
When you visit Humane Societies 65 percent are bull terriers of some kind. 80percent of dog attacks are some kind of bull terrier. I adopted one and he had such hight prey mode. He would turn and bite me if I tried to come between and his victim that he wanted to attack. When will people realize that it is not worth the pain. A woman was attacked recently by her pet bull terriers that she had owned for 8 years. There are 84 breeds. Pick less aggressive dogs.
@@violent_bebop9687 It's irresponsible even with small yorkies and chihuahuas. A bite from the smallest angry dog, especially on a small child but even on an adult, is enough to cause permanent disfigurements and other permanent injuries.
Neither the child nor the dogs should ever have been put in that situation. Now they all lose their lives (all having suffered horrendously; the dogs were attacked with hammers and pickaxes as well as being shot), because a group of adults failed to do their due diligence in regard to any of them. An unintended horror, but one that was 100% preventable.
This is one of the saddest cases I've heard, for the boy and the dogs, like you said, irresponsible adults, some folk should not have animals never mind breeding them
@@missrubex Just a bad story all around. I've had German and Belgian shepherds ( amazing creatures) Began to sense that the working breeds are going to become rarer, and more regulated.

That poor kid... a tender three year old. Painful to even contemplate.
Yeah... when is the last time you heard about a vicious goldendoodle attack?? These breeds of dogs - large dogs bred for defense and protection - should not exist in normal society or be allowed as pets. We wouldn't allow "well-trained" lions to roam suburban neighborhoods! But you can own a domesticated house cat.

@@chantalgreen9035It’s not heartless, it’s the truth. That’s the problem now nobody wants to speak up and be honest. The mother was very irresponsible letting her small child out of her sight around dogs she’s not familiar with. The breeders were irresponsible for allowing the parents of the puppies to be around while they are being sold. The natural instincts of the dog naturally kicked in to protect their babies.
My dog is very well behaved and I still get anxious any time I see people letting their kids run around at the dog park, especially the big dog side! even if the dogs + kids are well behaved, being EYE LEVEL with a dog is asking for trouble should a conflict come up. I've even seen people bring their babies IN STROLLERS in the dog park! and in that situation, even if all the dogs are super perfectly behavior i can't imagine a baby not even old enough to walk on his own will do very well in such a bacteria cesspool! you can't guarantee all the dogs there are vaccinated and healthy
The investigation revealed that the dogs were NOT American bulldogs as the father would have you believe. They were American bullies which are a cross between a pit bull and an American bulldog. More specifically, these backyard breeders were breeding and selling an “XL variety” of American bullies... a variety with a bite force stronger than that of any other bully breed, including the pit bull. And so big, that one of the dogs had the 3-year-old’s entire head in its mouth. That’s how his skull and jaw broke. It should be ILLEGAL to breed and sell dogs that powerful out of your backyard.
IMO they should be outlawed completely. We have enough things that can k. Ill people. And enough types of dog breeds that are beneficial and good pets. This isn’t it.
@@lynn-mariemullins410pitbulls techically do not have a skeletal mechanism to lock their jaw, but they instinctually grip and shake when they bite in order to inflict as much damage as possible. that makes it more terrifying than if they had lockjaw, because they are deliberately biting to cause as much damage as possible.
2 months ago I was a on a stroller walk with my 2 yr old son in our neighbourhood, just walking down the street....when out of nowhere this dog runs our from a backyard super aggressive and immediately lunges at my son in the stroller. I swerve the stroller so hard it misses him by inches. Then the dog try’s to lunge at me and i swerve us harder again. The dog literally looks possessed by demons with its teeth barred and biting the air. It was a boxer/pit bull mix. Then the owner runs out frantically and calls the dog and by the GRACE of God, the dog snaps out of its frenzy - I saw its eyes change - and it pauses, then runs back to its owner. Like WHAT THE F. Once the dog was gone i yelled at the owner and I’m telling you I have never yelled at a neighbor or stranger ever in my life. They apologized but so? If they didn’t come out that dog would have attacked us and for what? We didn’t threaten it in anyway. We were walking by 2 feet away from the curb. I called the cops (which Ive never done on anyone) and all they said was they could offer them dog training courses. That’s it. They said if the dog didn’t actually attack you, we cant do anything. So that dog still lives to see daylight and will attack someone else. Maybe it will be a child walkin down the street to go to the park there. Dogs can be terrifying. I was terrified looking into this animals eyes. May this little boy Rest In Peace. What a senseless, horrifying way to go.
You are right my left arm got mauled by a Doberman when I was minding my own business walking down the street it came behind me grabbed my arm, and pulled me down. If it wasn’t for my friend Bill who immediately started kicking the dog and it let go.
The dog DID attack you. You had the presence of mind to avoid being bitten. Just because you weren't bitten does not mean that you weren't attacked. See a lawyer if the police won't do their job.
@SAHAMH123 No they're not. They both come from the same fighting stock. And when American Bulldogs were nearing extinction at the beginning of the 20th century, they were extensively crossbred with -- you guessed it -- pit bulls.
First of all, why weren’t those dogs contained in the owners home? The dog owners should be prosecuted for negligent homicide. That happened in CA where a young woman was attacked by two Mastiffs where the owner lost complete control of her dogs on leashes. She was found guilty of negligent homicide and served two years in prison.
You would think that a breeder would know better. I mean they do this for a living and should know the way these momma dogs can act. Even the nicest & sweetest ones can get aggressive when it comes to their babies. That's the way moms are in all of nature.
What is wrong with people? A bulldog for a child! How about something small that can’t kill your kid’s if it happens to have a bad day? This is happening too much.
Breeds like labs aren't small dogs, but recognized as trustworthy enough to lead the blind, be supportive and therapeutic for autistic children, or monitor for sleep apnea, seizures, etc. When our kids came along, I was dumbfounded by the intuitive caution and respect given to the little ones from our otherwise rambunctious young dogs.
I agree. People show how loving some of these breeds are, and I have nothing against these bigger breeds, but if you have a baby or child common sense would dictate keep them away from the kid. Oh, right people don't have common sense and think every animal is a Disney animal.
This is absolutely heartbreaking I’ve have had people yell at me because I didn’t trust their dogs around my kids and I don’t care what they say. Dogs will snap even on their own.
Better safe than sorry anyday. Idc how “well behaved” someone says their dog is. When it’s my child’s life at stake, I will ALWAYS err on the side of caution. I’m so sad for this little beautiful boy and his poor family 😓💔
We unfortunately don't have any children we did have a lovely dog for eleven years which we loved more than anything.When my family came over who had children we would be on our guard the whole time.We never ever left him alone with the children dogs can turn at anytime.

@@ericdwhitmorecNO. it can only happen with certain breeds. Breeds that are prone to fighting and violence. And are strong enough to hurt human beings. Only certain breeds have those characteristics. Bully breeds in particular.

They're naive and believe "it's not the dog it's the owner" BS. Dogs, even the breeds less likely to be vicious, can be vicious at times. Much more so for the breeds known to be a problem. Unfortunately, there will always be ignorant people so this will continue to happen.
Such a sad story for this poor boy and family, I have owned many American bulldogs with no issues, this must of been the dog parents feeling they had to protect the puppies
Stupid breeder to have the parent dogs with the puppies and kids. Stupid parent to want a bully breed as a family pet for small kids. What a needless tragedy.
She was there with her kids to get such a dangerous animal to bring into their home as a pet - so not intelligent enough to be responsible for the wellbeing of small children.

@jay5o702 the video says the boys were playing with a puppy nearby, she heard him scream, and the mother _immediately_ began to free him. They were all in the same place, looking at puppies.
@jay5o702 it did not say they weren't with him. They were probably talking to the puppy owner about the purchase, so they weren't looking directly at the kids. They didn't walk away or leave the kids. That's how she was able to _immediately_ intervene.
So irresponsible to not have the adult dogs in the house or kenneled. My heart goes out to these poor parents and so kind to donate his organs so that others may live on while knowing that their child would never come home again.
So preventable and forseeable. Been pet sitting for domestic animals as well as farm animals for 50 years... not surprised this happened. The mother will forever be broken as she couldn't save her little boy...generational pain and suffering for this Family. Basic 101 Animal behavior....
When are people going to realize that dogs are simply animals people act like they’re human and they think like humans but they don’t they have instincts unlike us and this poor child is paying the price for this. May God rest his soul and comfort his family.
This is just so sad. You NEVER leave dogs and puppies unsupervised. They have that parenting protective instinct. I also am not a fan of dog parks either. Too many unsupervised dogs and when a lot of dogs are together, some can get aggressive, or overly excited and bad things can happen.' This incident, like many, it just tragic AND preventable.
@@AJXOXO-vz1pn The breeders are at fault in this story cause those dogs should not have been around people that were hanging with their pups. But on the side, why would parents want that kind of dog when they have small kids. So both sides were pretty stupid in this scenario. I hate calling the parents of the little boy stupid since they did lose him and my heart breaks for them, but unfortunately, they learned the hard way that these are not good dogs for kids to be around. And their poor baby paid the price for that lesson.
Man that's a very cruel thing to say, I bet you wouldn't have the guts to say that to their face. You are heartless, right now the parents are making a hard decision to take the young boy off life support, shot a shred of sympathy for them.
Thank you!! This is on the parents of those little boys, one dies and his brother gets to grow up afraid of dogs and knowing how his brother was killed 😢
People stop getting these bully dogs. They cannot be trusted even with superior training. There are so many dogs that are sweet and won’t kill you. Why do I even need to type this common sense statement
Because all these morons actually believe they're just misunderstood and cute and cuddly, and they will argue with you until they're blue in the face. Anyone that is stupid enough to have one of those dogs around kids, shouldn't even have a kid.
Imagine the physical agony and terror that boy felt. Unimaginable pain. The dogs are like tools a person owns. Like a person who negligently fired a gun or lit a match or forgot to pull the handbrake in a car, the person who had control over the dogs basically inflicted that immense pain on the little boy. He owns them, he has to take ownership - literally.
I had a vet that told me parents should never leave their children alone with dogs. He had a dog that had arthritis. His own son fell on him and the dog bit him. The dog didn’t do it out of meanness or anger he did it because it was hurt.
We have always thought this especially for kids under 12. They just don't fully understand the to us subtle cues that mean they are not happy. After having a dog nip my face and need stitches as a young teen yes it warned me no I didn't back off, I thought that since I was human I should be allowed the couch over the grumpy old dog, I also do not allow dogs on human furniture
I cringe everytime I see pics/videos of large dogs with small children, especially babies. A lot of damage can be done before the camera person can get to hurt child. It looks so cute, but the risk isn’t worth it.
Of course they were “American bulldogs”. AKA the main breed used in making pitbulls, with the same genetic issues of aggression. Not even surprised at this point. Why on earth would you even want to get one of these dogs when you have toddlers?
Responsibility rest on the parents. What sane person chooses a pit bull…oh excuse me..American bully( like there’s any difference) as a pet for children
@@phantomblacklove The breeder is the main one at fault because he should have had those adult dogs somewhere else while people were over looking at the puppies. So the main one at fault is him cause he should have known better. But I do agree that if you have kids, especially small kids, don't have those kinds of dogs. Get a smaller dog or even a cat or rabbit. But don't get bulldogs or pits with really small kids around. That's a recipe for disaster.
@@bahba9247 that's like saying authorities can't stop murder or rapes. No fuckin duh!!! That's why we have laws against it so if it happens we can prosecute. What a stupid comment. Lol
I agree. Our neighbors breed and it makes me a nervous wreck when I see young children playing with those dogs. We have mentioned the dangers to them and they just laugh.🤦♀️
This breeder was negligent and is fully responsible. You don’t show puppies with sire and dam unrestrained. This is gut wrenching to hear. So sorry for this family.
@@r100-q1c Don't mind my pet lion. I should never require special licensing because I can blame other things like... the breeders, owners, training, or my lion's socialization etc. My pet lion protects my children. (until they are mauled to death)
They killed their kid and they’re still simping for pitbulls. CPS needs to investigate, brining kids around those violent dogs is abuse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it again
Because Pitbull lovers need to be able to say out loud "It wasn't a Pitbull" while keeping the fact that it was *essentially the same breed under a different name to themselves.....
I was attacked by a German shepherd when I was 14. I still get nervous around bigger dogs and I’m very scared of German Shepherds, pits and Rottweilers. These breeds tend to be more aggressive and territorial. This is such a heartbreaking story. That poor baby!
Imagine being a dog forced to breed so others can profit, then being killed when trying to protect your offspring? So much tragedy here caused by the ignorance of the breeders of the children, as well as the dog breeder.
I just said that I agree with you put greeting dogs so you can make money get a job Force a dog to get pregnant so you can take the babies away and make money People can find a dog in a shelter
How is it the child’s fault? He was a 3 year old who didn’t know any better! It’s devastating for this child who lost his life, and yes due to the breeder’s not thinking things through before taking the puppies to sell them.
I think should stop the stupid puppy mill .it's only show lazy people who wants make money easy way ,doing cruelty with dogs .they will pay for that because is not fair and is wrong way they doing .
I blame both the parents and breeder for this. Breeders responsibility to control their dogs and the parents responsibility for not letting their children out of their sight. It could have been anything else besides a mauling, even a simple slip and fall. The parents should have been aware of the location of their children. You're just looking to buy a dog, how are you letting your kids run free out of sight?
Oh that poor baby. The literal fear, pain and suffering he endured. I gave my two year grandson a hug to honor Colvil. I'm so, so sorry to his parents abd sibling. If my heart is broken, I can't imagine theirs.

Imagine how quickly people would take necessary precautions if dog owners would be charged with assault/battery/homicide if their pets harmed someone unprovoked.
They will lose everything they own.
Was it unprovoked? If a stranger grabbed your child out of your hands you will attack this is nature the mother of the child attempted to rescue hers, the people screwed up.
@@banditdog1338 it's a toddler that got attacked. If the toddler wasn't actively harming the puppy yes it is unprovoked. Not to mention if the dogs attacked a TODDLER they could have also attacked an adult. It just wouldn't have been as likely to be fatal if an adult was attacked. Those dogs should have absolutely been restrained to prevent this. The breeders are 100% responsible for this kid's death because dogs who just had babies are known for being aggressively territorial around strangers. I have some experience with breeders and I have actually been attacked by a momma who got out of a back yard while waiting for an Uber. You don't take chances with stuff like this unless you are irresponsible.
Exactly!
Same for people's kids who break the law
Some "dog lovers" are not fit to own a hamster.
A hamster is actually not fit for more than most people. Just to be "that one" and take the opportunity to inform. I know it's a phrase used, but I hate it just as much as the "being treated like a dog".
A hamster runs up to 9 km (~5miles?) foraging at night, so they actually need A LOT of space. Which means a large cage with 25-40cm (10-15") of bedding in height to dig tunnels in. They're not the easy pet it seems like. That's why they often st arve and unalive way too early. 🤷🏻♀️

The dogs were not pit bulls. They were bull dogs.
Condolences about your mom. Pit bulls murder more people than any other breed , and by a very large margin
Never trust an owner's judgment of their own dog. I've been bit twice, and both times the owner said, "It's ok, he/she is friendly!" despite the dog clearly displaying aggressive behavior. It's some kind of weird denial that their dog is indeed a dog that may do dog things.
Because people humanize their damn pets too much.
To a claim that the breed type is sweet, I say, sweet until they're not. No one can know with certainty that theirs's won't ever attack.
I trust my pitbull with my life and anyone's life. She's literally staying with an old lady right now and the old lady loves her to death.

This ⬆️
100% agree. You'd think that breeders would know better but obviously these idiots did not. SMH
I mean, the parent also had the responsibility not to take their child somewhere dangerous
Breeding only for the money with no thoughts of responsibility and no insurance more than likely.
If the parents are vicious why are you breeding them? I've been around actual breeders my entire life and a respectable one would never breed dogs that would do this.
As a roofing contractor I’ve been around countless vicious dogs. Once a man and his 60 lb mixed breed met me at my truck as I got my ladder out. The man was pleasant and his dog was calm though I knew since he only wanted to approach me from behind to be careful. The man told me what he wanted me to know and then he went back inside. As soon as the front door slammed closed the dog attacked me from behind. He bit me several times before I could react. Thankfully my clip board was made of metal and I kept him away from me while I backed up to my truck. I was so angry at that dog. By the time the man came back outside he asked me what was wrong. All I said was your dog did attacked me. He said as people always say, he has never bitten anyone. I threw my ladder in my truck and drove away. Another stop was a guy who had a lot going on across the street on a Saturday. A 3 year old girl was attacked by the family pit bull and killed while mom and dad slept in on a Saturday morning. The people were certain the dog had never been aggressive.
That's really bad, sorry that happened to you. I also go to people's homes every day to do work. I have had people cuss me out for trying to protect myself from a biting dog. The worst one as far as owners go (even though I didn't get hurt) was a dog trying to bite me through my leather boot while I was talking to the owner. The lady was in such denial she acted like her dog would never do such a thing even though she was looking directly at me while it happened.
@@Mouse_007 Denial is a profound resource/skill humans have.
If they have teeth, they bite
If someone's dog bites me, I'm calling the police and my lawyer. They need to be held accountable. I'm glad you're ok.
A dog being aggressive should have no bearing on judgement. The potential is always there, as evidenced not just by the protective nature but by the fantasy most owners have of their dog scaring away robbers!
Backyard breeding must be outlawed. These people care about nothing more than money. Anyone with a working brain knows you don't have anyone handling puppies in front of their parents. Now, 2 dogs along with a small child are gone as a result of this stupidity. The breeders need to be arrested and face charges.
Oh please 🤫🤫 the dogs were aggressive because the young man was carrying their babies . I'm so sorry for the young child, I am disgusted .
I've owned 5 German Shepherd's, got them all from the same breeder over the years, own 3 now, all dog parents where there when we chose the puppy, but, because all the dogs are well trained, that's the difference, people get dogs then don't even bother to get them basic training, especially breeds that have tendencies to be aggressive. I agree, the backyard breeders, should be banned.
@@TheLexiecheyexactly there are responsible breed standard breeders. However, the average person should adopt not shop! If you aren't showing or working your dog, a shelter dog needs a home.
@@MosesGomez-o7eThat’s exactly why backyard breeders need to be stopped. They just get a pair of dogs they like and raise them until they’re old enough to start breeding and that’s what they do. They don’t breed for temperament, health or any other traits that would enhance the breed. They breed for money. A reputable breeder will only breed dogs with good temperament, no health issues, etc. This keeps the breed within breed standards as set by either the AKC or the Working Dog Breeders Association. They will also give you the puppy’s lineage going back at least four generations. With backyard breeders, they might have the names of their dogs’ parents but, probably no more than that. And they rarely have the information needed to have them registered. Please, please, please, stop buying from backyard breeders! You have no idea what could be wrong with the puppies and you could be getting one that’s going to cost you thousands in vet bills. Don’t take the chance. Buy from reputable, registered breeders who can give you names and contact info for past buyers so you can confirm the health and temperament of your puppy. It’s worth the money to buy from a breeder who’s registered with whichever group does the registration for their puppies.
Why take babies to any place with unfamiliar dogs?
So even the friendliest dogs should never be left alone with a child.
Not when handling her puppies,,no. Parents were stupid to put their kid in this situation. They obviously don't know crap about dogs . And how mothers will protect their young regardless who you are.
There was a news about girl accidentally k*lled by pet dog because he pulled on the scarf around her neck. I think it was a retriever.
When you have a family visiting puppies , please don't have the parents or other older dogs there too .
This didn't have to happen 😢
Agreed. Parent Dogs, especially the mother dog should be kept away from strangers when you are showing puppies. If buyers want to see the Parent dogs, show them separately from the puppies, and don't let children come into that area. Leave the Parent dogs in your back yard or kennel, and take the puppies inside the house, garage, front yard, somewhere secure away from the parent dogs sight. By taking the puppies to another area, you relive the protective instinct of the Parent dogs. Children that age don't know how to handle, play with, or touch puppies. They will usually hold them wrong, pinch the puppies skin by trying to grab them, etc, causing the puppy to yelp and excite the Parent dogs. This is a tragic situation, condolences to the family.
@@vpej8508 it's sad that dog attacks are still killing people and children , what a lovely pic of an innocent child dressed up in playful clothes to see his life sadly taken away , dogs are animals with ability to kill not just in the wrong hands but in their own nature to defend and protect its own , we need to remember this , mother's will protect their offspring whether it's humans or animals
The American bulldog is a large, muscular breed of mastiff-type dog and they are not a breed to be taken lightly. All dogs bite, and precautions should be taken to keep you and your family safe.
What an absolutely tragic story!

In the era of social media, you have idiots who do stupid things with dogs because people never post when dogs get aggressive or snap so people only see one-side and don't see the dangers... SMH
I have a beautiful very well trained German Shepherd and everytime somebody gets close, I warn them but some people say that they are ok with him. Drives me insane. It is trained but still it is an animal. Anything can make him upset. Other thing is that I take him to dog park odd hours when nobody is there. If somebody comes, we leave. Sometimes they say that we don't have to leave. I tell them that I don't want any other dogs around him. The guy didn't listen and didn't give us time to leave. His dog attack mine and got his lesson. There are so many idiots around. I love my fur baby but he is an animal and genes comes from wolves.
Dogs don’t usually do this. They are not raised with love thats for sure
I agree, took my son to the park. A dog with no leash comes running towards my son. Thank god i got to him first, then the owner comes up sayn if u dont run he wont attack.

Agree. I don't trust no dogs with kids. I don't care if that dog has the best track records. It's still an animal.
The dog owner is irresponsible if they would have put the dogs in a crate or room and shut the door that poor baby would still be here
And... if you are an owner of a lg breed dog or a breed that has a guardian Nature.... protect your dog. Don't allow people to touch your dog!!! If someone asks, just politely say "no, she/he is still in training and isn't ready to be touched by strangers yet" and then Thank them for asking.
Remember, when you get a dog, that dogs life is in your hands. How you handle situations like strangers could be the difference between your dog living or not. Although many dogs can almost seem human sometimes, they aren't and their future depends on you. Keep them safe !!!!
The breeder is responsible for it alone. The mom want watching her kid is what it sounded like. She could have asked that the dogs be put up. So she is at fault also.

I heard a lot of stories about children being attacked and killed by their own family pit bull. The dogs were raised from puppies in a loving home and just one day snapped.
You cant even spell the name - therefore its unlikely that you correctly identify one either - and that right there is why they are "legal". Because people like you label everything "pitt bull" even though you can't even spell it.

I’ve always been good around dogs that didn’t know me, yet I still used extreme caution when picking out my wolf/hybrid pup.
The male parent was a great big goof, extremely laid back, but the mom (practically pure timber wolf) was not liking anyone being around her pups. (Which is an absolutely normal and understandable reaction.)
I wonder if it was a pet person who happened to have a litter of puppies. It seems like a breeder would be more aware of that element?
Wow something terrible was happening at that breeding place. Why was the poor mother in a cage? Blue heelers were not bred to have aggression in them like pit bulls so it’s strange that she would behave this way when taking a puppy.

It's the nature of dogs to attack. They are beasts. The just are.
Does actually nobody questions why parents with very small kids would even consider owning such a big dog to start with and that from a breeder of dogs with questionable temperament.
Yes, I did.
The size is less important than the breed. One of the largest dogs in the world, the Great Pyrenees, is one of the best family breeds, because they are so nurturing and their herding instincts make them great at watching over children.
Mastiffs are another large breed that does well around kids in a family unit. Great Danes are massive, but also big babies towards their family.
Because our culture purposely makes it seem like dangerous things are just fine by design so that our society has a lot of bad things happening in it so the ruling class can turn to the people and say you guys are irresponsible and don't deserve freedom let's have your freedom that you do have left taken away because of all the bad things happen that happened because we allow it to

Why would you have parents of these puppies in the area? Animals get so stressed…especially with their babies. So sad all the way around.
People like you are why they allow the dogs off the leashes to begin with. Always putting your store bought pets before others safety
In my family, when we buy dogs or cats, we want to see the parents, and they're often in the same room than their babies. We never had an incident: the parents are psychologically well-balanced and like being around humans (or, at least, they don't care).
They're nice even when their babies are still not weaned (we like to chose our pet early, and regulary visit the breeder before taking our pet at home).
The only precaution I would take, it's the usual NEVER LET A KID ALONE WITH ANIMALS.
Obviously they had no idea they would attack. There are lots of second guessers on here that just assume everyone should have known the risks. I'm confident no one wanted this to happen. Personally, I didn't know that this breed was capable of attacking like that either.
@99Em07 Never let a kid alone with dogs. NEVER. Even if your dog is the nicest in the world, even your kid is the most well-behaved kn the world, your kid can still do something stupid and piss them off.
I've been with dogs all my life and my parents taught me how to be nice and respectuous with them, and I was a child very easy to raise, but they still had to prevent my silly young butt to try new stupid games with the dogs.
Why would you have these dogs around kids? JFC. There are so many breeds of dogs. It’s insane.
The American Bulldog would not be a suitable breed for small children. Please google dog info before buying dogs.
Exactly
My parents put me in extremely dangerous situations with dogs when I was a child. They cared a lot more about the animals and their own children were secondary. Everyone is sympathizing with the poor parents. But they aren't the ones who were torn apart. They were the ones who were supposed to keep their child safe.

I'll never forget. I went once with family and their young child when they were looking at adopting potential dogs and my female family member had shared with me that she was nervous. The dog might be too rambunctious, but her husband was really excited about it. It was a beautiful bully mix, kind of reminded me of chance from homeward bound. We went into a meeting area. Their daughter was about four or so at the time. I had been attacked by a dog as a child and just knew I wanted to keep my eyes on it. Thank goodness. Because at one point the parents were having a sidebar conversation and were not looking. While she was playing with the dog I noticed its body language was getting more aggressive. It lunged at her after jumping behind her and was trying to get its jaws around her neck. Without thinking I jumped between them and pushed my hand into its mouth and kept pressing until it gagged and backed off.
Animals can be wonderful and our best friends, but we need to be aware that they're still animals - Just because they're cute doesn't mean we know how they're going to behave.
I'm so sorry for this family. They were looking to add a family member and ended up losing a child. So good of them to donate his organs and I hope it gives them peace that he will live on in those children that he helps to save. 💞💐
Edited for spelling
Thank you for the likes and love.
Still can't imagine losing a young boy like this, sending the family lots of love and hugs. I hope they feel the support from their community. Sending gratitude because they are spreading awareness and also giving the gift of life for others after this tragedy. ♾️💐
You’re awesome and brave for that truly! Take care!
I was even careful with my goofy springer spaniel. I loved him to death, but I was always so careful especially around children. I didn’t trust him or the child! I taught my doggo to lie down and to be extra gentle when kids were around. He was only 40 lbs, but you never know what could happen.
-that was brave of you.

You saved their daughter’s life that day. Thank God you were there!
“Trying to get it’s jaws around her neck” visualizing was horrific enough I can’t imagine what the parents in this video are going through. Definitely a cautionary tale…
Except that American Bulldogs aka pit bulls are not cute in any way. The ugliest dogs in existence.
That poor child and family, having to say goodbye so soon is something nobody should have to go through. RIP little one...
Breeder needs to be charged.
Edit: I think ppl misinterpreted my comment. When I said breeder needs to be charged I meant this specific one as A) irresponsible breeder leaving the adult dogs in with the puppies whilst strangers are looking at the puppies. Any breeder worth their salt knows to lock the adult dogs away.
B) even if the parent was lax and left the children alone with the strange dogs and puppy, the breeder should have known not to leave kids unattended with dogs. This behaviour indicates that this breeder is irresponsible and most likely just “breeds” for money and doesn’t address dog socialising issues/discipline - Which for these breeds IS A MUST.
ALL the adults in this situation let down the little boy. Parent shouldn’t have also allowed the child there unsupervised with strange dogs. Unfortunately, the family has had to pay a terrible price. Condolences to the family.

Except this was NOT a dog park…and little puppies are NOT allowed in dog parks.
The investigation revealed that the dogs were NOT American bulldogs as the father would have you believe. They were American bullies which are a cross between a pit bull and an American bulldog. More specifically, these backyard breeders were breeding and selling an “XL variety” of American bullies... a variety with a bite force stronger than that of any other bully breed, including the pit bull. And so big, that one of the dogs had the 3-year-old’s entire head in its mouth. That’s how his skull and jaw broke. It should be ILLEGAL to breed and sell dogs that powerful out of your backyard.
IMO they should be outlawed completely. We have enough things that can k. Ill people. And enough types of dog breeds that are beneficial and good pets. This isn’t it.
And their lockjaw. That's what frightens me. @@wiiildfire
Neither pit bulls nor American Bulldogs are official breeds. They’re a “type” of dog. No registry, no pedigree.
@@lynn-mariemullins410pitbulls techically do not have a skeletal mechanism to lock their jaw, but they instinctually grip and shake when they bite in order to inflict as much damage as possible. that makes it more terrifying than if they had lockjaw, because they are deliberately biting to cause as much damage as possible.
2 months ago I was a on a stroller walk with my 2 yr old son in our neighbourhood, just walking down the street....when out of nowhere this dog runs our from a backyard super aggressive and immediately lunges at my son in the stroller. I swerve the stroller so hard it misses him by inches. Then the dog try’s to lunge at me and i swerve us harder again. The dog literally looks possessed by demons with its teeth barred and biting the air. It was a boxer/pit bull mix. Then the owner runs out frantically and calls the dog and by the GRACE of God, the dog snaps out of its frenzy - I saw its eyes change - and it pauses, then runs back to its owner. Like WHAT THE F. Once the dog was gone i yelled at the owner and I’m telling you I have never yelled at a neighbor or stranger ever in my life. They apologized but so? If they didn’t come out that dog would have attacked us and for what? We didn’t threaten it in anyway. We were walking by 2 feet away from the curb. I called the cops (which Ive never done on anyone) and all they said was they could offer them dog training courses. That’s it. They said if the dog didn’t actually attack you, we cant do anything. So that dog still lives to see daylight and will attack someone else. Maybe it will be a child walkin down the street to go to the park there. Dogs can be terrifying. I was terrified looking into this animals eyes.
May this little boy Rest In Peace. What a senseless, horrifying way to go.
You are right my left arm got mauled by a Doberman when I was minding my own business walking down the street it came behind me grabbed my arm, and pulled me down. If it wasn’t for my friend Bill who immediately started kicking the dog and it let go.

First of all, why weren’t those dogs contained in the owners home? The dog owners should be prosecuted for negligent homicide. That happened in CA where a young woman was attacked by two Mastiffs where the owner lost complete control of her dogs on leashes.

You would think that a breeder would know better. I mean they do this for a living and should know the way these momma dogs can act. Even the nicest & sweetest ones can get aggressive when it comes to their babies. That's the way moms are in all of nature.
Dogs will attack without any of their puppies around. Explain that.
What is wrong with people? A bulldog for a child! How about something small that can’t kill your kid’s if it happens to have a bad day? This is happening too much.
Breeds like labs aren't small dogs, but recognized as trustworthy enough to lead the blind, be supportive and therapeutic for autistic children, or monitor for sleep apnea, seizures, etc. When our kids came along, I was dumbfounded by the intuitive caution and respect given to the little ones from our otherwise rambunctious young dogs.

I cringe everytime I see pics/videos of large dogs with small children, especially babies. A lot of damage can be done before the camera person can get to hurt child. It looks so cute, but the risk isn’t worth it.
Of course they were “American bulldogs”. AKA the main breed used in making pitbulls, with the same genetic issues of aggression. Not even surprised at this point. Why on earth would you even want to get one of these dogs when you have toddlers?
@@prickly_procyonids Even without the aggression they are ugly beasts
I'm terrified of most dogs. I've tried to overcome this but it's so difficult once you have a horrible encounter.
Many insurance companies won't insure certain breeds of dogs. They exclude them from coverage in their homeowners polices.
So everyone bit the select two lol
Charge pet owner as if they committed the crime themselves.
Be responsible
But those parents weren't responsible either.
I would never let my 3 year old near a pit bull or any large dog capable of attacking
Responsibility rest on the parents. What sane person chooses a pit bull…oh excuse me..American bully( like there’s any difference) as a pet for children
@@phantomblacklove The breeder is the main one at fault because he should have had those adult dogs somewhere else while people were over looking at the puppies. So the main one at fault is him cause he should have known better. But I do agree that if you have kids, especially small kids, don't have those kinds of dogs. Get a smaller dog or even a cat or rabbit. But don't get bulldogs or pits with really small kids around. That's a recipe for disaster.
@@phantomblacklovethere is a difference
Another clueless person thinking they have something to offer
Did they said the mother of the boy already have a leg injury from her own dog that bit her and she had surgery? Did I hear it right?
Another reason why backyard dog breeding should be a felony in all states.
Felony ? For puppies harsh
Authorities can't even stop puppy mills....
@@bahba9247 that's like saying authorities can't stop murder or rapes. No fuckin duh!!! That's why we have laws against it so if it happens we can prosecute. What a stupid comment. Lol
I agree. Our neighbors breed and it makes me a nervous wreck when I see young children playing with those dogs. We have mentioned the dangers to them and they just laugh.🤦♀️
So deeply, deeply sorry for the parents, siblings and family. What a beautiful child!
This breeder was negligent and is fully responsible. You don’t show puppies with sire and dam unrestrained. This is gut wrenching to hear. So sorry for this family.
Parents at fault too. Who leaves a toddler alone with a bully breed dog, they are just as vicious as pitbulls, same family.
The stupid mother that left her kid alone with dogs is also at fault. 🙄
If the sire and dam have acted like this before, no responsible breeder would breed them
It was an American bulldog which is arguably a more dangerous breed than the Pitbull so why even bother making the distinction?
I agree 100%. These breeds need to be banned; the risk to the public far outweighs individual preferences.
you can't trust a bully breed around children and elderly.
@@r100-q1c Don't mind my pet lion. I should never require special licensing because I can blame other things like... the breeders, owners, training, or my lion's socialization etc. My pet lion protects my children. (until they are mauled to death)
They killed their kid and they’re still simping for pitbulls. CPS needs to investigate, brining kids around those violent dogs is abuse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it again
Because Pitbull lovers need to be able to say out loud "It wasn't a Pitbull" while keeping the fact that it was *essentially the same breed under a different name to themselves.....
I was attacked by a German shepherd when I was 14.
I still get nervous around bigger dogs and I’m very scared of German Shepherds, pits and Rottweilers. These breeds tend to be more aggressive and territorial.
This is such a heartbreaking story.
That poor baby!
Imagine being a dog forced to breed so others can profit, then being killed when trying to protect your offspring? So much tragedy here caused by the ignorance of the breeders of the children, as well as the dog breeder.
I just said that I agree with you put greeting dogs so you can make money get a job Force a dog to get pregnant so you can take the babies away and make money People can find a dog in a shelter
The real tragedy is allowing these mutations of a beast into human society
How is it the child’s fault? He was a 3 year old who didn’t know any better! It’s devastating for this child who lost his life, and yes due to the breeder’s not thinking things through before taking the puppies to sell them.
@@r_b2023You read it incorrectly, hombre
I think should stop the stupid puppy mill .it's only show lazy people who wants make money easy way ,doing cruelty with dogs .they will pay for that because is not fair and is wrong way they doing .
Who is going to be held accountable for this horrific murder of this Innocent Child?!
Parents
@@NathanielRayDavis the breeder
Parents and breeder
Complete heartbreak 💔
so sorry for this family’s loss
So the dog attacked once already but the mom just let him wander off again? Was she on drugs? Total neglegence.
Imagine leaving your kid to a dangerous animal or snake or alligator
So the 3 year old was left unattended in a stranger's backyard with unknown dogs? Don't people learn?
They are learning the hard way now.
I blame both the parents and breeder for this. Breeders responsibility to control their dogs and the parents responsibility for not letting their children out of their sight. It could have been anything else besides a mauling, even a simple slip and fall. The parents should have been aware of the location of their children. You're just looking to buy a dog, how are you letting your kids run free out of sight?
Oh that poor baby. The literal fear, pain and suffering he endured. I gave my two year grandson a hug to honor Colvil. I'm so, so sorry to his parents abd sibling. If my heart is broken, I can't imagine theirs.
