Coverage of the Omaha Pit Bull Attack - DogsBite.org

Dogsbite.org - We anticipate writing many articles about the Omaha pit bull attack that began with two mothers towing a wagon with two small children, and ended in a child's scalp ripped off.

Please keep us up to date as to what happened to the dog owner...so far, she seems to have walked away scott free.

I hope this family gets a good attorney and begins a civil lawsuit ASAP.

Something tells me, that without debtor's prisons, the family will never see a dime from this perp.

I hope Omaha goes on and in some way bans this dog. When you think about it we have this breed of dog
going around scalping babies and there's even a discussion about what to do---It's more than one attack this is a national crisis with ONE breed of dog unlike anything seen before in American History. If you doubt this call the Humane Society of the United States and ask if there has been another dog that has caused this many serious injuries or deaths?
