AIRMONT, N.Y. - A woman died after being bitten in the head and throat by a pit bull that she and her sister were watching for a friend.

Jeannine Fusco, 44, was attacked Saturday in the garage of her home in Airmont, in Rockland County, police said.

"They were dog-sitting for an acquaintance, and she let the dog out early in the morning, and when it came back inside the animal went right after her," Ramapo police Detective Lt. Brad Weidel told The Journal News.

"She had severe bites to her throat and her head," Weidel said.

Fusco's sister, Valerie Wall, 43, was treated at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern for bites on a leg and a hand and was released.

Police said they found the pit bull in the sisters' backyard and killed it.

No charges had been filed against the dog's owner, but the investigation was continuing, Ramapo police Sgt. Mark Briggs said.

Worst excuse ever.

So, someone dies and its their fault because they watched a friends dog?

[rupertaker]

their dumb for watching someone else dog

let me guess.

you live in a trailer and own a pit?

[HyPer50]

Kill all pits! lol.. nahh, not really, but honestly if anyone still tries to maintain there belief that pitbulls are not aggressive by nature, there blind. There are rare exceptions, but the breed is unstable in general.

none of my pits ever tried to bite anyone when i had them

[brads94accord]

none of my pits ever tried to bite anyone when i had them
well then you fit into the rare exception category

[HyPer50]

none of my pits ever tried to bite anyone when i had them

I know, I've met some nice ones too, but apparently this one was "nice" too since they had been watching the dog, but then it just suddenly attacked her.. or atleast thats what i pulled from the story.

[The Ren]

That is with any dog.. we are had to euthanize a golden retreiver last week because it was so agressive it put this ladys daughter in the hospital.. if you do not train your dog.. then the dog will turn.. pitbull or not..

[The Ren]

Thats how the news potrays pitbulls.. remember the whole thing with Deangelo halls dogs? Well the dogs didnt even go after the guy until the guy punched the dog in the mouth.. and the dog by accident bit the dude.. but thats not what the news said..

[Wurm]

animals dont attack for no reason especially a domestic animal they probally did something to the dog. I have been around ton's of so called aggressive dogs and not on of them has ever attempted to injur me besides them damn ankle biters

[Decker1.8t]

and this is why cats are the shit

[Wurm]

and this is why cats are the shit
lol not my cat she is albino and mean as hell she will attack your face while u sleep. Try waking up with a claw stuck in your face that you have to pull out

[Decker1.8t]

lol not my cat she is albino and mean as hell she will attack your face while u sleep. Try waking up with a claw stuck in your face that you have to pull out

haha. they can be mean ... but too small to kill anyone who has the ability to swat them away.

that's why I like em. they're like furry mischievous little demons

ANOTHER PIT STORY HOW GREAT BUT WHEN A GOLDEN RETRIEVER OR ANKLE BITING CHIHUAHUA DOES THIS ITS NOTHING ..

I HAVE 2 PITS MYSELF AND NOTHING BAD HAS EVER HAPPENED BUT I DO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ..

THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH ANY DOGS ..

IM NOT SAYING PITS ARE NICE BUT ITS IN THERE BLOOD TO FIGHT ..

THEY CAN BE GREAT DOGS IF TRAINED PROPERLY BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THERE MOMENTS ..

THAT IS WHY I KEEP A BAT ON ME AT ALL TIMES WHEN IM HOME ..

I DO FEAR ONE DAY MY DOGS WILL TURN ON ME AND YOU CAN NEVER BE READY FOR THAT ..

[HyPer50]

The difference between a pit bull and a chiuhaha or retriever is that a pit bull can kill an average unarmed person, and chiuhaha can't. it's the same as having a hyena as a pet, sure it maybe nice to you, but if it ever does decide to go attack you, it has the ability to kill you or seriously seriously hurt you. pretty sure if my buddy Sport, a boston terrier ever goes ape shit and tries to kill me, he may leave a few marks, but I can stop his ass lol.

ok well leave out the chihuahua cause well the only damage theyll do is prolly rip ur skin off ..

so are you saying a golden retriever does not have the ability to kill someone ??

[HyPer50]

the average person, not, not unless they are sleeping or already on the ground. ya they could hurt ya bad, but they dont have the biting power a pit has, pit bulls can crush bones whenever they bite down.

[brads94accord]

the average person, not, not unless they are sleeping or already on the ground. ya they could hurt ya bad, but they dont have the biting power a pit has, pit bulls can crush bones whenever they bite down.


exactly, retreievers in general were bred for hunting and sport, they do not have a strong bite because you dont want them to destroy the bird you just killed when it brings it back to you. My golden retriever can bite me as hard as he can when we are playing and wrestling and it wont break the skin, it might leave a bruise or something. granted they are big animals, mine is 7 months old and about 75lbs, but he would maybe lick you to death if he "attacked" you.

no pitbulls have lock jaws thats the only difference from other dogs ..

a rott - doberman - st bernard - boxer - mastiffs and big breed dog has about the same jaw power less or more ..

any big breed dog can crush bones ..

[Sonny BonaHo]

anyone that has any misbelifs of the american pitbull terrier should read one of many richard f strattons books. he will set ya straight.also the the news things.Dogbite injuries and death are alot more common than you think and only when its a pitbull does the media geta hold. the other dogs dont sell.

my opinion to the words in bold ..

they are trained for this you can train any dogs to do this ..

[WickedIXMR]

pitbulls are really great dogs...Its always about the owners. Once you own a pitbull you will know why theyre such great dogs.

[The Golden Child]

you also have to know that " SOME DAY " they will turn ..

i have 2 of my own and always keep a close watch ..

[brads94accord]

my opinion to the words in bold ..

they are trained for this you can train any dogs to do this ..

retreivers are not trained to have a soft bite, i own one now and i had another golden retreiver a few years ago when i lived with my folks. neither of them are trained to be hunting dogs. it is in their blood, thats what they were bred for. my retriever and every lab i have ever encountered in my life whether it be a golden retriever or labrador have never had a strong bite.

ill have to disagree on this cause you dont know how a dog thinks and neither do i ..

yes they are bred to be sport dogs but do not misjudge them ..

my friend back home in NY has 3 retrievers and 1 lab and the golden broke skin ..

it was by accident but it still broke skin a dogs jaw is not to be messed with ..

from toys - sports - big dogs any dog can do damage if needed ..

[StupidBikerBoy]

you also have to know that " SOME DAY " they will turn ..

I DO FEAR ONE DAY MY DOGS WILL TURN ON ME AND YOU CAN NEVER BE READY FOR THAT ..

Why would you want dogs that you know will "turn" on you eventually and you have to keep a close eye on them constantly? Especially in todays BS world where you could be charged for what your dog does to someone else.


THAT IS WHY I KEEP A BAT ON ME AT ALL TIMES WHEN IM HOME ..

At all times? LMFAO!!:lmfao:

Course, I don't blame you one bit, but that shit was funny.


Me personally, I don't like killing animals at all, but I see a stray pit and he even glances at me twice he's a dead dog, whether it has tags or not.:fire:

[StupidBikerBoy]

True, but they do attack for many reasons that we don't always consider. One of them being territory. Aren't pits extremely territorial?

The dog obviously attacked this woman for some reason, but what could a 44 yo woman have possibly done to provoke it?

Training says a LOT, but pits in general are very unstable dogs. Most owners will even tell you that.

[The Golden Child]

Why would you want dogs that you know will "turn" on you eventually and you have to keep a close eye on them constantly? Especially in todays BS world where you could be charged for what your dog does to someone else.

eventually it will happen but i grew up with pitbulls and i can never change that ..

if i had a huge property i would adopt all the pitbulls and care for them like there suppose too ..



At all times? LMFAO!!:lmfao:

Course, I don't blame you one bit, but that shit was funny.

i do keep it with me at all times i mean my 1st one is 22 months and my 2nd one is 7 months ..

they still have the puppy mind but they play aggressive with eachother ..

when i yell they stop and they know there playing too rough ..



Me personally, I don't like killing animals at all, but I see a stray pit and he even glances at me twice he's a dead dog, whether it has tags or not.:fire:

same here even though i love the pit breed if i see a loose one coming after me there jaws gunna get ripped off ..

[Dragonfly5338]

Some of yall are dumb.

Golden Retrievers have been selectively BRED to work with humans and to RETRIEVE, Brad is right, they don't have the biting power that some dogs have, because hunters don't want them to destroy the bird they just shot. Look at the difference between their heads - a golden has a tapered snout, whereas a pitbull has a wide flat mouth - more lbs of pressure per square inch, anyone can see that.

People don't seem to understand the concept of dog breeding. Puppies have been selected that show certain characteristics that people want in a breed. The dogs can't help it, it's in their nature. Border collies who are 8 weeks old and barely running around will go after sheep and start herding. Retrievers will fetch EVERYTHING and bring it back to you. Pitbulls, rotweilers, dobermens, ect will protect their territory, because it's what they've been bred to do.

Any dog can be aggressive, that's true. But more than likely it's because of some fault from the human that raised him. However, it's MUCH easier to confuse a pitbull (or any other kind of semi-aggressive dog) into thinking that a person is another dog and/or make them think that any stranger on their property needs to be attacked.

Another thing is that people who own pits who don't take care of them and let them roam get into another sort of problem - territory. If the dog isn't contained his territory that he claims as his own may spread past his house and into the street, across into the neighbor's yard, etc. People can walk down the street unknowing that they're in his land. Someone won't walk into a fenced in yard with a dog in it, because they know it's his area.

Unfortunately, pits seem to get a lot of the blame, not only because of the breed's stigma, but because people who like to own pits for reasons other than the breed end up ruining it for people who truly enjoy the breed. You don't see golden retrievers chained under a car. Some people either see them as a second alarm system or an item that makes them more macho, tough, etc. It's very sad - but I'm sorry pitbull owners, yall have a lot of adversaries to overcome because of those people. Pitbulls in general are extremely sweet and affectionate to their owners, but they can be a liability if not raised right, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER AGGRESSIVE DOG, unfortunately the breed has been exploited for the characteristics that come naturally for the dog.

[The Ren]

Damn Val your on a roll today +1

[brads94accord]

...

+1 dont mess with val's dogs they will pee on you. ask halfbaked.

[Dragonfly5338]

Damn Val your on a roll today +1

i iz smarts.

;) :D

LOL I just saw that Brad. Yes, my dogs have been raised to pee on people, hahahahahahaa. Especially people wearing Titan Motorsports shirts.

[The Ren]

Yes... yes you are.. thats why you have two very good dogs..

[topsecret2JZ]

its all about how the dog was trained. any dog can be aggressive. any dog can kill someone if they have been trained wrong

[T-Mo Goodie]

Don't forget...alot of these crazy, turning on you, wild pits are mostly inbred. I know people around my old parts of town that use to sell dogs. The mother dog mates with the son, etc. Then they be like "these some MEAN dogs too" I bet they are crazy and will turn on you. Then they lie and be like "they rednose gator bloodline" LOL

I had 2 pits and NEVER had a problem with either one. They were purebred and I had my papers for them (UKC Purple Ribbon). My boyfriend currently has a blue pit (with papers) and he is beautiful. They are sweet dogs, but as Val said, people get them and use them for all the wrong reasons.

[BanginJimmy]

I say kill all the pomerians. Those are the meanest little SOB's I've ever seen.


Also, training has more to do with a dogs behavior than genes. I've known MANY people with Pits, some that treated them right, others that didnt. The ones that were treated right you could play with rough as hell and enver worry about getting hurt. The ones that werent, you could barely look at them without them coming at you.

[quickdodge®]

if anyone still tries to maintain there belief that pitbulls are not aggressive by nature, there blind.

Trying to tell the dick-riding pit lovers on here that is like trying to sell a deaf man a sound system for his car. Later, QD.

[Jaimecbr900]

I totally agree with Val. I'm a big believer that the dog is usually innocent in the sense that his programming overrides everything.

Unless you're a breeder and have bred several lines of the same gene, there is really no way to know what kind of traits you'll get.

I've adopted all 3 of my dogs from the pound. I had ZERO clue what kind of traits any of them would have. Until I was sure that they would not hurt my kids, they stayed at arm's length. Fortunately, that didn't take long and actually my two biggest ones will probably lick you to death before they would even bark. Now the little Schnauzer mofo (it's my wife's dog) is the meanest and thinks he's the alpha. He is outweighed by atleast 70 lbs, yet he will growl at them and take their stuff..... :lmfao:

He snapped at my son once and I promise you he WON'T do it again, and hasn't. We figure he was tortured by a young kid because he is extremely nervous around young boys. We took him to the park and he gets all nervous when kids even walk by. He's adapted just fine here, but it's an example of how even little yap yap dogs can have their moments. Difference is that Cody doesn't have the strength to hurt anyone seriously.

SteveO, something I don't understand:

How in the world would you have not one but 2 pits and you're scared of them? That REALLY makes no sense, no offense. Why would you have a pet, which by definition should be your companion and friend NOT something to be scared of, that you acknowledge is some day gonna "turn on you"???? :thinking: That's not very smart IMO. Especially when the animal CAN truly hurt you or even worse KILL you. :thinking: I truly don't understand how that makes any sense.

[boostedb16]

and this is why cats are the shitshit my cat is crazy, if you pet him he will bite the shit out of you.

[brads94accord]

Trying to tell the dick-riding pit lovers on here that is like trying to sell a deaf man a sound system for his car. Later, QD.

lol i hear you

[boostedb16]

wait until gbrookie71 gets on here, he's a pit breeder and has a web site www.daltonbluepitkennels.com. he has a almost solid black pit the is one of the nicest dogs i have ever seen. i used to be one of the kill them all people but now i think its how they are raised.

[gbrookie71]

Ok first off if you are putting information on here solo on watching the news please dont... The news is whats wrong with pits today. Ok First info that you need to know there are more dog bits from retrivers than any other breed.. Second the most aggressive dog is the taco bell dog & a rocky. Ok about the pit, a pit is the most protective and obidiante dog there is. And will stop at nothing to do what you tell it to do. Thats why you see more pits at weight pulls ets. Because once you train a pit to pull it will break its on legs before it will give up pulling. Also the number one owned dog in the world is a American pit bull terrior it is also the number one breed animal in the world.. That information in mind there is alot of pits in the world almost like 3 times any other dog but any chance the media gets to post up a malling there right on top if it. How about the other 100 of thousands pits out there that lick you to death lol. If a pit bull gets pissed at you it will kill you before it will stop i promise but is that bad or good you decide... I know thats what i want my to do if someone does something to me or my family. Second it is capable of killing you lol... Most dog bites you never hear about because most dogs will bit you and stop, "Saying look i can hurt you leave me alone". A pit gets the chance to bit something its going to finish you off. Its not because its a mean dog only that it doesnt no to give up.. I own 4 pits not one has ever grawled or attempted to bit anyone out of 4 years. But also im not stupied enough to leave my pits with noone or let my damn kids play with them alone. And its not because i think that they will turn on my friends or kids only that i dont want to take the chance of them doing anything out of fear or caution.. I hate hearing about pits biting someone, and in most cases it's to the point that the person dies.. Dont get me wrong that is really bad, and im not trying to make it ok.. But the fact is its not the dogs fault 9 out of 10 times.. Most of the time it will come back to the owner.. First off know who you are buying from. If you buy a pit for 100-300 dollars your getting mixed up breeds. And that can be a screwed up dog that will one day possible bit you. I sale pure 50/50 Blue American pits. 50/50 means they only have two different blood lines. That means i have one full blood female and one full blooded male. And thats not the same as what most of you are thinking. Like my blood lines are WatchDog and Razorsedge. If you have a dog that has all kinds of blood lines then you dont really know how those lines where back in the day. Aggressive,smart,horny,lazy,etc. Most of the time pits are the best dog one can own but you have too train and teach a pit that you are in control.. Not the other way around.
Also did you know that single women own pits more than any other breed, ( my opinion that is not a good idea). Single women get pits to feel safe when alone and yes they are right they will be safe from other people. But most women that have a pit doesnt show any dominace over the dog. There for, one day it ends up showing her that it's the boss leave me alone etc.

But i promise anyone can come around my pits of course with me close by and they will lick you to death, you get pissed at me and they will try to kill you first. And yes there great around kids.

To finish up, i see and hear people everyday talking about how pits are all bad pits are the worse pet etc. They dont have a clue they just watch tv and listen to story's.

[devin]

i call bullshit, pit bulls are very gentle if raised right, they just are very strong dogs, but you can make a lab be a fuckin killer if you raise it that way

[gbrookie71]

i call bullshit, pit bulls are very gentle if raised right, they just are very strong dogs, but you can make a lab be a fuckin killer if you raise it that way


Yes that is very true ive taught my shitz zu to bit like hell. And anyone that comes over it will take your fingers off lol.. In alot of the case on the news the owners trained there pits to be attack dogs or fight dogs. There for the do nothing but kill shit. But the media will never tell you that the owner was a bad person or drug dealer that fought the dogs causing this sweet pitbull to kill hes 10 year old daughter.

[boostedb16]

im sorry gbrookies pit named tank is a blue pit not a black one.

yeah, and even if the dog is some sort of mix breed the news will say it was a pitbull for shock affect, i love my pitbull, she is very protective, and i cant stand people talking all kind of shit about pitbulls just because of what they hear about in the news, ANY dog can be trained to kill.

[gbrookie71]

retreivers are not trained to have a soft bite, i own one now and i had another golden retreiver a few years ago when i lived with my folks. neither of them are trained to be hunting dogs. it is in their blood, thats what they were bred for. my retriever and every lab i have ever encountered in my life whether it be a golden retriever or labrador have never had a strong bite.


Bs years ago a lab took a hunk of my meat right below my rib cage with him after he bit me for no reason. I was playin with a friend of mine at her house, ( it was her dog). And next thing i know it just snaps and bites me on the side. I had to have 10 stiches. And it wasnt the first time id been there. I just did something that day it didnt like. Luckly it wasnt a pit and it just bit me and ran away. Funny thing is they had it for 6 years no problems it bit me they put it down. I was only 15 at the time.

[gbrookie71]

im sorry gbrookies pit named tank is a blue pit not a black one.


LOL i called him and told him my damn pit wasnt black lol. But he is really dark Blue. I dont on no black pits only blue/blue nose. hehe Thanks bro for correcting that ... They are really nice looking dogs check'm out just click the picture below... Also i have puppies pics up soon.

[devin]

i had a black lab when i was younger and she bit a kid next door to me in the face and he had to get stitches, i have had my pitbull for going on 3 years now and i have had my nephew and niece around her and all she will do is lick them to death.

[1000cckiller]

Completely agree, pits get bad rep because of news cast. I love pits and I have had every breed, I also love my pit I have now, Its cool laided back and relaxed. Now if you piss him off I feel sorry for you. But my dog plays with my family and I have no problems.

[BluesClues]

That is with any dog.. we are had to euthanize a golden retreiver last week because it was so agressive it put this ladys daughter in the hospital.. if you do not train your dog.. then the dog will turn.. pitbull or not..
Reps!!! So very true. You can not say that a certain breed is a bad breed. There are just bad dogs.

[topsecret2JZ]

PITS ARE NOT MEAN BY NATURE THEY ARE PROTECTIVE, I OWN SIX PITBULLS AND NON OF THEM ARE AGGRESIVE THEY ARE PROTECTIVE, ANY DOG CAN BE MEAN IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU TRAIN THEM, I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY BUT THEY ARE NOT AGGRESIVE BY NATURE, ANY DOG CAN BITE SOMEONE, IT IS JUST THEY DONT HAVE THE JAW POWER TO DO AS MUCH AS A PIT CAN

[devin]

^^^ very true.

[brads94accord]

Also the number one owned dog in the world is a American pit bull terrior it is also the number one breed animal in the world..

I find that hard to believe when they aren't even a recognized breed by the AKC.

but I'm not even gonna argue because the select few of pitbull owners are going to fight until the bitter end.

just like QD said, "Trying to tell the dick-riding pit lovers on here that is like trying to sell a deaf man a sound system for his car. Later, QD."

[devin]

the akc lists them as staffordshire terrier, i love how everyone who probably never has owned a pit or even known someone who has talks shit about them, if you dont know anything else then what you hear in the news just dont comment.

[BluesClues]

the akc lists them as staffordshire terrier, i love how everyone who probably never has owned a pit or even known someone who has talks shit about them, if you dont know anything else then what you hear in the news just dont comment.
Agreed:goodjob:

[gbrookie71]

well you and QD can say what you want but i know for fact yall have not done any research on American pit pulls. And no akc doesn't have them listed only because ukc and adba has them. Plus if you would like ill do the research for you and give a list of every animal akc doesn't recognize if you would like trust me there is alot of them. Also ive done every research on APBT and they are the #1 owned and sold Dog. If u and QD would research this you will find what im referring too.

Lets say they are 200 pit bull bits a year out of 200,000 in USA = 1 out of a 1000
and you have 20 bits from a lab a year but only 20,000 of them in usa = 1 out of a 1000

Plus when you actually find some info on pits you will realize the pit bull is categorized in many groups combined the Stafford pit bull, American pit bull, american bull dog etc. Making the bit % higher than it should be. like when they say a rocky had 10% of the dog bites this year. Thats from the Rocky's only. But when it says Pit bulls have had 14 % of the dog bites this year. Thats over 3 or 4 different names not just the APBT that most of you are formality with.


The only thing i will give the media is there has been more deaths from pit bulls then any other breed. deaths not bites. But is that a bad thing or a good thing. What do you want to save your wife or kid from a robber a tacobell dog or a pit bull. My self i beg you to come to my house anytime uninvited.

[devin]

^^^exactly

[sohcEX]

I love my pitty he has been the smartest dog I have ever owned and I read somewhere that people actually use labs to fight has anyone else heard that? so there is proof that even a lab can be a aggressive dog if you train it to be. All my pitbull does it give you lots of licks and is very animated he is funny as hell. We keep are pit indoors and I think that helps alot because he gets the attention that he needs I think a pitbull that sits outside and never gets attention is going to be aggressive because it does not get any love. Pitbulls are great company and they want you to show that in return and give them attention.
