Didn't look like Baby like the camera crew too much.....check out the video!

It's too bad the boy has to give up his dog. Looks like the family will always be safe though as long as the apartment building they're moving to allows hair products.

Ok that made me laugh just a little...but then when I think of a crazy drugged out lunatic striking my child, I suppose I might try to hair gel him to death in a pinch...I hope someone capable takes that dog!!!

Just imagine what you could do if they hadnt taken the cfc's out of Vo5 back in the 70's.

If it were me and my family, I would find a place to go where I could take the dog. I can't imagine giving the dog away after it potentially saved the lives of any, or all, of my family members. Who knows what the intruders intentions were? It sounds like he was crazy/drugged and that dog may well have saved their lives. It strikes me as the ultimate betrayal ... especially given the dog's breed. I sure hope they take the time to find her a GOOD home, not just the first person who comes along. I hope things end well for Baby.

That story makes me very sad for the dog.

I understand what you are saying...and I too hope Baby is well taken care of. But I think I understand the panic of the Mother's reaction, and am not sure I can judge her for getting her children out of a dangerous situation. I also hope after some time has gone by and the Mother can think beyond the panic she will come to the same conclusions you have and want Baby back and she will have the time and presence of mind to make that happen...it is my hope anyway.

Awww man I could never give my dog up that easy... We would just have to find someplace that would except him. He's apart of the family and we don't do that to family. Hearing that does pull at the heart strings... Bitter sweet.

I hate to put a negative spin on this but I don't like the fact that they show the dog going after the camera crew. APBT's are not good guard dogs. People aggression was never allowed when the breed was first created. Dogs were killed immediately and on the spot if they were aggression to any human not just the owners.

I'm happy this dog saved its family but it still is a negative story. They are showing a bad representation of this breed and their temperament. I understand that the dog was defending its territory but it was also obviously aggressive towards people, the way it was going after the camera crew. Plus the reporter kept saying how the dog attacked on command and what not.

I have 17 APBT's and only 2 maybe 3 would protect my family. They really have no guardian instinct. You see many people that have rotties or Shepherds to protect the family and keep people from stealing the Pits.

Again I'm happy she saved the family but not a story I like to see because it feeds the public fear of Pit Bulls.

I moved to a town so I could have all my dogs, I would never move somewhere where my dogs could not come. She saved their life they should return the favor and find another place to move.

I've been waiting to see this video since I read the thread this morning. Steve, that was damn funny lol.

I don't really see this in a negative light. The dog protected her owners in what was as bad a situtation as could be.

I feel really bad and am a bit disappointed the family gives up Baby, especially after this. I could understand wanting to get out of there too, but I would not leave my dog. IMHO.
