Keeping a pit bull as a pet is like keeping a lion as a pet. These dogs where bred to take down bulls, people. It’s time to ban the breed. Pit Bulls have no place in this community.
Annoyed Pedestrian says
I will never trust what any pitbull owner says.
Linda S. says
Maybe I missed it, read the story three times and never saw the words “pit bull”. to little girl and family.
Linda S. says
*there were suppose to be hearts at the beginning of sentence for little girl*
Tammy says
There are no pit bulls in Lancaster. Rex had them exterminated as part of his war on gangs, which was a huge failure like most of his whacked ideas.
Linda Y says
A day after listening to fireworks no less.
Judy says
Me too. I was bit on my lips As a 10 year old and chased and bitten 2 more times in my life. I stay away from people walking there dogs. I had a husky and still felt uncomfortable.
THD ADED says

Larry says
Obviously you haven’t owned one. My buddy has one that is the sweetest dog I’ve ever seen. Raised 3 kids with her. If you listen to Caesar, you would know, the problems with dogs aren’t the dog, it’s the owner.
Larrrrrry says
Shut up Larry
You ever looked at the fine print on a homeowners insurance policy.
David says
Google Cesar Millan’s Pit Bull attacking a girl and bitting her leg and killing Queen Latifah’s dog. So does that make Cesar a bad owner? The dogs are a very dangerous breed.
Magnetlady says
My prayer’s for the little girl.. In Feb. I was bit by a ”Snarly Boxer” that lives next door to me.. I had to go get a Tetnus Shot & take antibiotics for a week since I didn’t know if the dog had his Rabie shot..I hope the little girl is not ”scared” too bad.. Whenever there’s a dog bite, the State Health Dept. is notified along with Animal Control.. BEST WISHES for a speedy recovery for this little girl.
My Name says
Why does this not state the type of dog? We would like to know if this is a pit bull attack or, other dogs.
Dee Rainged says
Wrecks purged Lancaster of all pit bulls years back. . There are no pit bulls in Lancaster. No crime. No homeless except for the 67 a day that are sent on Metrolink from LA. We are the solar capital of the world and soon we will be the hydrogen capital of the world. The BLVD is better than Disneyland. We have Asians and The Gays on the BLVD keeping things safe.
ACE says
