KFC, and so little on the fact that the grandfather owned the dogs that attacked her. She was attacked by "family pets".

(resulting in death threats to said workers) in order to bilk their community.

Stories about children getting attacked by dogs are ten-a-penny. Horrible, but true.

This story is notorious because the family tried to use their OWN IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR to their benefit, and the misery of others (including their little girl).

This poor child is going to need therapy, and lots of it, in future years to deal with the fact that her family not only caused her injuries, but then used them to commit fraud.

I hope that child is taken away from that felonious family.

Or choose a dog you are ready for; or GET READY (LOL, like we did when we brought our BC mix home, sweet girl).

I think the Grandfather had a whole pack of untrained dogs. Not a good situation to bring a kid into no matter what.

Pit Bulls seem to be over-bred by very bad "breeders" trying to make a buck. This ends in unwanted dogs dying at the shelter. It can also lead to dogs with poor temperament. The truth is that my Great-Aunt's poor-tempered Chihuahua was never the threat that a larger dog with bad behavioral traits is.

I take this story as a whole; child gravely injured by a dog belonging to the Grandfather who had too many dogs that he did nothing "good" with. This is a cultural thing in various groups of people in this country, or so it seems. Then the hoax is perpetrated for money, probably because there is none to care for this child's injuries properly. I doubt it was designed to avert attention from the dogs, I don't think any of this resulted from rational planning at all.

The dog breed issue is one I try to avoid, I am simply not knowledgeable enough to get involved in it, and do not enjoy getting mixed up in the nastiness it brings. I do know that my dog wants to herd other dogs, cats, people.... It took a lot of work to keep her instincts from being activated by joggers on walks. She also needed a job and I got into dog agility. I do know she has big time instincts inherited from her Border Collie parent; but as to other dogs and what instincts exist or don't exist, I can't say, I don't have the knowledge.

from the original event- the mauling of a child.
