My theory in that situation is the same in case of a human attack. A thumb into the brain thru the eye. As hard as possible.
Assuming a firearm is not readily available.
Pit bull mixed got our Golden retriever today.

This only reinforces "you can prove anything with statistics". Doesn't ease the pain. 4 out of 5 surveyed,,, which 5 were asked? LOL

Get treatment for your wounds, and your Goldens'. Report the dog attack by a pit. Animal control will come and get the dog, and put it down. Neither you nor your daughter will have to do it, the law will take care of it (whether your daughter wants it or not).
That dog does not spend two more minutes in the vicinity of your grandkids, period.

That info tracks with what the American Kennel Society has as well. It's been known for years. It's not the dogs fault, but the facts remain, they are a breed that was ruined a long time ago.

I must agree. Once it has bit a human,,, it's got to go.

My friend, the 75 year old, caused his attack. He waved hello to the owner from across the street.
The pit mixes were unleashed in her garage with an open garage door.

You didn't shoot the owner !

Really sorry to learn that you and your puppy had to deal with this Pit.
I had a very similar incident with my youngest son's Pit mixed breed. My oldest son had to pull the pit off a German Shepherd and in that process my son's wrist and arm was badly damaged. We were contacted by Animal Control to take measures to stop the Pit from attacking anyone in the future. Even with those measures, the Pit had one opportunity to attack another dog about 2 years later, and after that attack we had to turn the Pit over to Animal Control.
Lots of good recommendations in this thread - do what you believe is the right move.
But don't let that Pit around the small children at this point - the potential for attack due to the unpredictable nature of the Pit is real.
Take care of yourself and the puppy as soon as possible.

Most telling stat from that study (perused, did not read the whole thing), 91% of all dog-caused fatalities of 10-30 year-olds were pits.
Steve, I sure am sorry. I just shake my head every time I hear os see someone defending those dogs. They are bad news. Hope your pup heals up good.
Preach it, brother. It could have. Thing is, it wouldda made no difference to the pit WHAT or WHO it attacked.

Sorry to read about the attack. Wish you had a cast iron frying pan handy.

I'm sorry for not being clear. It was sarcasm. My friend did NOTHING to cause the attack, he merely waved hello to the woman across the street, and her dogs attacked.

Ah, my sarcasm detector was offline.
It's infuriating the the dogs were mauling an innocent person, yet the owner squawked about the dog being shot. He should have sued her back into reality.

She did threaten to sue me. My friend, the victim, threatened to counter-sue. That was the end of that.
My brother in law was attacked by 3 pit bulls, they darn near killed him. I wouldn't worry about what the daughter would think, I would've taken care of it, it could be a person next time

My apologies but all that pit would have heard was the click right before the boom

Here's my Pit Story
The neighbor on my street Pitt's
One house between us. We are on 50x100 lots.
Her 2 got out. One is meaner than junk yard dog but keeps um in her rear yard. Did not inform her home owner's insurance.
They don't cover them anyway but will drop you to keep from being sued. She illegally rents rooms.
He dogs get out. My wife is pushed onto a corner. I get dogs attention, my wife gets away. I fend off dog.
If I could have gotten a clean shot without endangering anyone I would have. All this talk about shooting, just remember only do so if safe. You do not want bullets flying just anywhere.
We were both able to get away and police called.
He shows up says I am here don't see a dog come out unarmed and we will make a report so documented.
I put gun on table and go out. Jumped by hiding dog. Cop jumps in car leaves me now unarmed to fend off dog. He sees I am back inside safe as only a few steps to get back inside. It almost got me.
The cop calls on phone says this is not my problem.
It is animal controls, calls them. Guy calls says he will not come without police backup. He calls again later to say he is on way back as cops coming too.
Tells me dog attacked some kid just pants torn and another neighbor one street over also attacked but got away. Walks but carrys a large stick bat who saved kid.
Fast forward now cop there and dog catcher. Can't find dog. Lady owner not home and Noone there speaks English.
I and others told if dog or owner shows up call back.
So violent dig just out roaming.
Owner shows, and I call.
They come back, she pretends to not understand what problem is. They tell her she must go out and find her dog before it harms anyone. She says it is a good dog and it will show up when tired and hungry.
They now tell her she is going to be charged / liable if someone is hurt since she is now negligent! She will not even go to try locate dog.
They pulled me aside and said we know you and your wife both carry, make sure if you take the dog out you hit the dog and nothing else.
The dog did show up and not bite anyone we know about but gas blood on it I was told. No telling what it was from. No one reported a bite.
Was told she got a warning and told she must inform her homeowners and keep dog locked up.
She has dog another 6_9 months. And was seen out a few more times before it disappeared.
I have no idea what/where/how.
