It's interesting how the narrative in this thread has changed from "pit bulls are so sweet and nice" to "there's no such thing as a pit bull." I love the smell of desperation and defeat in the morning. 


And neither does his make-believe-life gf.

DUNCAN, Okla. - A young Oklahoma girl was killed in a dog attack over the weekend.
Jason Dodge told KFOR he left his 3-year-old daughter, Rylee, at home with his mom.
He had only been gone about 20 minutes when he got the terrible phone call that Rylee had been mauled by a dog.
Dodge says he had just taken in the pit bull 5 days earlier from a friend and that there were no warning signs that the dog could be vicious.
He says his daughter opened up the front door to play with the dog and it attacked her.
Dodge says he came home to a bloody scene, his mom lying on top of the dog and his daughter lifeless.
When officers arrived on scene, the dog ran from the area, according to KSWO.
Later, when officers found the dog, police say the dog came towards the officers and was shot and killed.
Sadly, the girl did not survive her injuries.
She was rushed to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Witnesses are still being interviewed to determine what led up to the attack.

01/15/18: Dog Mauling Victim Identified
A 3-year old girl killed by a family dog has been identified as Rylee Dodge. Her father, Jason Dodge, said the dog is a pit bull that he had only taken in five days earlier from a friend. In an interview with KFOR, Dodge said he left his daughter at home Sunday with Rylee's grandmother. Dodge had only been away for about 20 minutes when he received a call that Rylee had been attacked. Dodge said Rylee opened up the front door to play with the dog and it attacked her.
Police continue to investigate what led up to the deadly attack. There are now conflicting reports about how long the family owned the pit bull, five days versus two weeks. Police also continue to describe the dog as a "bulldog mixed-breed," even though the dog's owner states it is a pit bull, as do other family relatives. Rylee's body was taken to the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office where they will perform an autopsy. The family's attacking dog will undergo a necropsy.

It seems like it's always the children who pay the price for someone's stupidity. :~(

Baby Visiting Home
UPDATE 02/11/19: According to a GoFundMe set up by a friend of the baby's mother, 1-year old Ashton McGhee was visiting his grandmother's home in Guthrie when he was fatally attacked by a family pit bull-mix. "Ashton was playing at his papaw and mamaw’s house in Guthrie the night of February 7th when one of the family dogs came in from outside and attacked Ashton who was playing on the floor with a ball." The authors do not blame the attack on a "thunderstorm."
"Ashton lived in Hopkinsville, Kentucky with his mother, Miranda McGhee and his two sisters," states the page. "He loved Batman and was a very active little boy who was always on the go." Contributions will help the family pay for funeral arrangements. "Miranda is a young, and wonderful mother who is in great turmoil and absolute shock and grief," states the page. The fundraising team calls on the community to help "as she has to lay her sweet baby boy to rest."
