Let's start off with this gem:
Man wins fight with vicious pit bull - which is reported over 20 times in different newspapers across the country. The story? An awesomely vicious "pit bulldog" weighing 8 million pounds was on a seek and destroy mission. His target? A 200 pound truck driver. So, this really vicious dog automatically goes for the guy's throat. But this guy is like superman and is able to grab the really mean pit bull by the face. He knees the dog in the ribs. So, the dog rips off his arms, legs and head! Just kidding. The dog bites him on the hand. Then the guy strangles the dog to death. You gotta wonder about the extremely vicious nature of a dog who causes enough damage for paramedics to, ya know, use some neosporin and send the guy on his way. That dog must have exerted 10,000 psi to cause that sort of superficial damage! Plus, he must have been nearly rabid to have permitted the guy to hold on to his collar without ripping off appendages!
Adult Akita versus Vicious, Man-Eating 3-Month Old Pit Bull Puppy!
Boy treated after dog attack - in which a leashed (or unleashed) Akita in Ohio mauls a boy riding his bike. The child suffers bite wounds to his back, shoulder and right hip. The owner of the dog had to wrestle the dog off of the kid.
But that's NOTHING compared to the totally vicious, evil, maiming committed by another Ohio canine:
Toledoan charged as son loses foot in pit bull attack - in which a 3-month old puppy chews on the foot of a child with spina bifida (i.e. he cannot feel pain in his lower extremities). But don't worry, folks, the puppy has been summarily executed for being a puppy! We are the world, and we are safer.
