One of my Granddaughters was attacked and mauled three weeks ago by a Pit on too long of a chain while visiting her cracked out Mother. The dog was a known biter and got Alana's head in his mouth. Her eyelid was severed from her face along with deep lacerations in her forehead. If she hadn't thrown her arm up in reflex, the dog could've bit down all of the way and she likely would not be here. Apparently she had jammed her arm in the back of the dog's mouth, keeping it from a complete bite. She is eight and was gorgeous. Now her eyelid droops, she's scarred up and faces years of plastic work. With the docs we have around here, I'm sure she'll get close to recovered physically. Mentally? Hell, Scrappy scares her now... The dog was put down...
