Family Bulldog kills 4 year old girl

I would not own a dog that is dangerous..i was always told that if it has teeth it can bite..I know that bull dogs, chows were not good with children.i had a chow once that bit a friend and i took that dog the same day and had him put down,i really hated to do it but a dog that will bite is no good for nothing...i have a small dog now,shes very small but she will not bite,she will run from children, and if they grab her she will pee but she will not bite..I know some people that have pit bulls and they say the dog is really good but i do not trust them because they are tempamental, and might turn on you..this is really a sad story but i blame the parents for this,they should have known better than to get a bull dog for a pet.If a person does not have children then its fine, but when you have children thats one thing you have to be very careful about..My kids always had a lab or a big ole humble dog that we could depend on at our house...

While this is a horrible experience it further goes to show why I do not believe in children being left alone unattended with animals that are larger than themselves. I understand that a family pet teaches responsibility to children. However, it is imperative that the adults around said Child are aware of the nature of animals. Even the most relaxed pet can become aggressive unplanned in the wrong circumstance. I feel for the family however, this child should never have been left alone with this animal if there was potential for the child to be injured. I believe that children under the age of six or seven should be supervised at all times around family pets.

OMG! That is really gruesome. I wonder what had ticked the dog to become that vicious. Anyway, I felt sorry for the parents but then kids should never be left alone with pets such as dogs, python or any of those dangerous animals. Sometimes, kids can do things that could trigger the anger of the animals.

That's just sad. I wonder what provoked the dog to do such a thing. Dogs are usually kind to their owners. Dogs rarely attack owners unless they are threatened but how could a 4 year old threaten a dog? That's really odd.

gee...how could it be happen!i am so sorry to hear that bad news.animals r animals themselves!

Is that true? That's too terrible! The poor girl! She's only 4 years old. Then do people take any measures against the bulldog? I think we should really watch out the dogs or cat we have in our house. They're not that safe always.Maybe we should never let the kids stay with the pets alone. So sorry to hear the news. Hopefully such things will never happen again.

my sister in law and her family have a bull dog for a pet. It is caged when we get there. From what I understood they were good dogs as well. Yes, tragic thing to happen....I can't imagine!

How horrible. I feel so badly for the sister and the nanny. They will have to live with those horrid memories all their lives...it's so terribly sad. I wonder why the dog did this. Too sad.

Now they can add bulldogs to the list of 'killer dogs' to be banned/destroyed.

After this weekend, I see just how tolerant pets have to be around children. I wonder what happened to get this dog angry enough to do that. I wonder if he even realized he just killed his best friend.

thats so sad poor child. my daughter was attacked by a bull mastive last year while playing with her friend it was her friends dog. the dog bite her quite bad and she had to have over 80 stitches she had bite marks all over her body apart from her face. the dog was put down but im still very upset that they let my daughter in there garden where this beast was. but im just thankfull shes still with me that dog could of killed her. i think dog owners should be more responsible.

The picture shows that it is an American Bulldog :( I have a really funny cute English bulldog, and he is so friendly with kids but I still keep my eyes wide open just to be sure nothing happens bad. Sorry for kid and her family :(

Too horrible!And luckily,i don,t like dogs at all. What ,s more, you seems that like reading news so much!don,t you?hehe,it is a good habit!

OMG...That's scary! I feel sad for the girl and the family. Did they do some research on why the dog suddenly turned aggressive and killed the girl? It's weird coz dogs don't bite their family! There must be something wrong. Did it get rabies? That's a terrible thing happend to the family.
