Police say the two-year-old unneutered pit bull believed to be responsible was hovering around the woman, who had major injuries to her upper body and face.When they arrived, they found the victim laying in her own front living room; she was not breathing, unresponsive and had major trauma to her upper body,' said Pacifica Police Captain Dave Bretini.

Police shot the pit bull terrier, similar to the one pictured, dead as it tried to escape from the Napora's back garden.

'The last thing we wanted to happen was for the dog to get out and start attacking bystanders or be loose in the neighborhood,' Bertini said. Source

Why do people continue to keep these dogs as pets? I don't care how docile some people claim pit bulls are, I believe they can and will turn against you at some point. Why take the risk?
