Collection of Pit Bull Scalp Attack Victims - DogsBite.org

DogsBite.org - We've gathered a modest number of pit bull scalp attack victims and placed them into a single blog post. Stories not recorded in the DogsBite Blog link to a PDF file, as these articles will eventually disappear from news websites or fall into less reachable archive systems. We ask that DogsBite.org readers leave links to additional stories that involve pit bull scalping attacks (or more information regarding a listed attack) in the Comments section.
