A 4-year-old Oklahoma boy had an arm completely ripped off by a pit bull while trying to pet some puppies at his grandparents home, according to police and his distraught mom. Little Axel Foster lost his right arm after putting his hand inside a dog pen Friday night while being looked after by his dads parents in Tecumseh, police told KFOR. Responding officers found him waiting outside with his grandmother, with the limb completely missing under the shoulder. The childs arm was still in the pen, Tecumseh Police Chief JR Kidney told the outlet. When officers and animal control attempted to retrieve the arm, the dog became aggressive to them, he said. One of the responding officers, Aaron McCormick, wrote in the police report that he could see the arm inside, and one of the puppies was trying to chew on it.

One of the dogs was shot and killed as officers tried to recover the arm, police said. Fosters mom, Destiny McDow, said they raced to the hospital, but surgery to reattach her sons arm was unsuccessful. Shed earlier said in an online fundraiser that the boy was fighting not only to keep his arm but his life. How could this happen? she asked KFOR, saying her son was supposed to be in his fathers care. Police and city officials are investigating whether the youngster was supervised at the time of the grisly attack. If not, his grandparents who were not identified could face child neglect charges, the police chief said. Im hoping it was simply an accident that the child was able to get to the pen, but we will look at everything, Kidney said. The top cop said he had witnessed some pretty brutal dog bites before but never a complete amputation. To be over just an innocent-type thing of wanting to pat some puppies, its just devastating, he said. What kind of Christmas is this child gonna have now? What kind of life, in general, is this child gonna have now?

This, the parents shouldve known how dangerous pitbulls can be especially towards children, they arent like other dogs, ignorance is not an excuse

Thats like saying we shouldnt discuss the problems with drunk driving in a topic about a drunk driving death. If parents have to be extra careful around a certain type of dog especially, perhaps that dog isnt one that should be glorified as a pet.

Why was no one watching the child is the pressing answer especially around a dog that has puppies.

Not all dogs like people around their puppies but pit bulls are a known danger, the grandparents really fucked up and this child lost an arm.

Yeah chihuahua owners usually own more than 1. Being attacked by a pack of chihuahuas is akin to getting thrown in a piranha infested swamp, i'd argue that's worse than fighting 1 pitbull.

Not to mention most pitbull deaths come in the hands of other pitbulls i.e. underground dog fighting. They were literally bred to kill.

Not that you even bothered with a source for this nonsense, but:

100% FALSE: PITBULL-TYPE DOGS ACCOUNT FOR AROUND 65% OF FATAL DOG ATTACKS
This statistic is derived from grouping together all dog bite-related incidents for 4+ unique pitbull-type breeds, 20+ bully-type breeds (and their many mixes) that are frequently misidentified as pitbull-type dogs, and the many different mixed breed dogs that can be mislabeled as "pitbulls" (based on their appearance) into one bucket and classifying all of these dogs as "pitbulls" - which will undoubtedly lead to flawed and inflated "statistics". However, this unscientific and misleading statistic quickly falls apart when taking into account the evidence and conclusions from recent peer-reviewed studies on canine DNA. In fact, according to several comprehensive studies on canine DNA, the majority of dogs that are visually identified as pitbull-type dogs (by shelters, owners, and the media) do not have any DNA from pitbull-type ancestry. Furthermore, for the dogs that do have DNA from pitbull-type ancestry, the majority have less than a 50% DNA concentration from any of the four unique breeds commonly classified as the modern pitbull-type breeds and are therefore by definition, mixed breed dogs. Additionally, the studies found that 98% of dogs with DNA from pitbull-type ancestry are not purebred and are once again, by definition mixed breed dogs. These scientific facts about the DNA of dogs identified as pitbull-type dogs have significant implications for dog bite-related data used in dog bite statistics, medical studies on dog bites, and for BSL - as we investigate below.

Eh. I won't be responding. Looking at my dog and reading the comments get my heart rate raising. You guys have no power in the end and the police knew who to blame. Get the grandparents and father for neglect. Sucks the dog had to die because of it wasn't raised properly, but that's also why we have prisons for people. It might not be their fault their influences fucked them up, but it's to save the innocent. And the kid's and officers lives are obviously more valuable than a dogs.

"The report also mentions that deadly attacks comprised a small portion of dog-bite injuries. Hence, the data presented in the study should not be used to identify a specific breed of dog as dangerous."
Where does the 'hence' come in? Maulings aren't deadly, but they're still extremely serious

SOrry for being snarky, but I'm genuinely asking what was the point you were trying to make.

If I linked to a site called pitbulls areawesome.com Id get it, but it didnt seem relevant to point out it was that site. Especially when they sourced it all from like time and webmd, the national canine research council and peta (tbf lovabulls was a source too lol).
