re: Dog kills 4 year old boy in AL.

My pitbull story:

A few years ago I walked outside to check my mail at night. As I got to my mailbox I looked over and there was a pitbull standing under a street light looking all menacing. He was probably 30 yards away.

I got my mail and slowly began walking away because he was staring me down. About that time he took off in a sprint running right for me. I about shite myself because I knew I couldn't outrun him (they are fast as frick). So I just stood still and braced for impact. When he gets about 5 yards from me, he jumps at me. I closed my eyes waiting to get eaten. He then jumped into my arms. Yes, he just wanted me to pet him. I pet him for a few seconds then went inside.

Next day I walk outside and he is on my porch waiting for me to come out. I gave him a little food and he was happy. Next day he was waiting on me again. At this point I was certain someone had dumped him, so I loaded him up and took him to the pound. I didn't want him associated with me in case he was on the hunt for kids to bite.
