Pit bull attacks and kills local family's chihuahua

Pit Bull Attacks and Kills Local Family's Chihuahua
Blackfoot, ID - Gidget, a 3 year old chihuahua was attacked by a neighbor's pit bull. The pit bull jumped the fence into Grant Harding's yard to attack the chihuahua. Harding managed to chase the attacking dog away and took Gidget to the vet but her injuries were too severe and there was nothing they could do to save her.

Harding reports that the pit bull owner was aware that her dog was capable of jumping the fence. To add further insult to injury, animal control says that there is nothing that they can do to the pit bull owner because there was no prior history of violence. Outraged by the inadequate animal control laws, Harding wants to start a coalition against vicious dogs. You can contact him at viciousdog@cableone.net
