In light of the shocking death of this young girl by 4 dogs......what do you think should be done to prevent this from happening again.? |

Any dog in a pack situation may be a danger...but the breeds which have the shorter strong jaws are inevitably going to do more damage if they attack. |

It is awful - she was eating a meat pie. Personally I think keeping five dogs of that size and breeding in an ordinary home is asking for trouble. |

I must admit Rose...even though I don't want to.......I'm beginning to come around to that way of thinking too. Some people use these dogs like others use a knife.it's intimidating and dangerous......and a shame for the owners of these dogs who behave responsibly....BUT as usual with these things it'll only be the decent owners who comply..the ones it's aimed at, for the most part, already believe they are above the law....plus I doubt the police will even bother to follow it all through with checks etc.I suspect it would be exceptionally expensive both in terms of having an up to date database and in manpower....... |

99 times out of a hundred it's the fault of the owner and not the dog - and sadly it's always the bull breeds which get the bad publicity - we've always had bull terriers and I have yet to come across a vicious one, quite the reverse, they are soppy and friendly, take one out for a walk and the world and his wife want to talk to you and make a fuss of the dog - my son has a bull terrier and a bull mastiff - the mastiff would not hurt a butterfly |

I'm guessing Ann that she probably thought none of them would hurt a fly.......... |

I think any dog can turn no matter what, no matter what the breed what the age or who the owner is. I adore dogs, any type of dog but never would I leave any kind of dog on their own with a child. |

20 ish years ago we wanted to buy a dog, our son was 3 so we looked carefully and decided that a boxer was the best for us, our garden and taking him with us wherever we went. |

no one would shoot you down - you are absolutely right - basically they are pack animals |

The owner called the dogs her babies. I wonder if theyw ere spoilt with food and used to being given food from the table. Maybe one jumped up for the pie and the poor girl shouted at it and then they all turned on her (frightened she was attacking them maybe). We will never know I just feel so sorry for her because it must have been painful and terrifying. I also wonder why a fifth dog was shut in another room. |

I just can never understand why some people have to have so many animals. |

We had a Staffordshire Bull terrier for fifteen and a half years. I have to say he was better behaved than some smaller dogs. However, we were very aware that like any dog they can be unpredictable. We never left him alone with other children,. I do wonder why someone needs to keep five large dogs in a house; surely that cannot be good for the dogs to be locked up in a this way. I feel so sorry for the young girl and her family. |

And alot of it is to do with the Bloody breeders too....you can breed bad dogs too, you can use the different characteristics of a male and female, from generations back and come up with one very gentle beautiful dog or one very aggressive nasty dog. |

The boxer dog we had was a "reject" because he was white and not good for showing, if we hadn't have bought him he would probably have been put down, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. |

According to DM today the owner breeds dogs, the neighbours say dogs rarely walked. Every dog needs 2-3 walks per day - length of walk depends upon the dog type. |
