Yes dog was initially being reported as a pit bull and once they figured out it wasn't they stopped reporting it and then just left it without a breed. Typical. Dog attacks only matter when perpetrated by a particular breed.

I hope the poor man recovers swiftly. How horrible.

Neighbours were interviewed fully today and have reported that the man had this dog in his care for just a few days and every day he was beating the dog with a hose pipe.

The dog eventually snapped.

As would I.

Jesus christ, that poor dog.

Of course the majority won't hear any of that.

It will be remembered as it was FIRST reported. A vicious pit bull attack. It couldn't be further from that
