Fla. Woman Killed by Her Two Pit Bulls
By Associated Press
9:41 PM EDT, October 2, 2007 http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...,5342038.story MIDDLEBURG, Fla. - Two pit bull terriers fatally attacked their owner who had raised them since birth, authorities said Tuesday. Tina Marie Canterbury, 42, was walking to her back yard when the 2-year-old redbone pit bull terriers attacked her, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office. One of Canterbury's sons tried to help her, but the dogs attacked him. He was not seriously injured, authorities said. A family friend shot at the dogs to scare them away. A deputy shot one of the dogs. The other dog ran away but was found two hours later and killed, authorities said. Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler said he couldn't remember such a severe dog attack since becoming sheriff three years ago. There were no signs of dog fighting or other abuse at the Canterbury home, authorities said. |

It's VERY rare for any breed of dog to kills someone. And when a pitbull does it, it's been improperly misidentified, and is actually another breed. Pitbull kills just don't happen. |

I think it's the son says that they are two pit bulls. Also, you can hear the dogs in the background at some point. There's another news video, but I haven't watched it yet. If you want to know what's going on, open a google account. Then go to "my account"/alerts. Set an alert for "pit bull attack". You can get daily notifications this way of all the latest pit bull attacks. I've been getting emails about new attacks almost every day. |

Vey posted an item from the Orlando Sentinel about 2 Pit Bulls killing
their owner. Reference was made that they were Red Bone Pit Bulls. --------------------------------------- I know nothing of the attack, other than what I read in the item Vey posted, however my guess is that they were Red Nose Pit Bulls. I am simply guessing. I have noticed Red Nose Pit Bulls in ads for Pit Bulls. I am willing to guess that some of them are bred for fighting. I am basing my opinion purely on the ads I have seen. I certainly do not mean to suggest that all of them are bred for fighting or that the woman that was attacked had fighting dogs. Be Free.....Judy |

Be careful not to set the alert for "stupid pet owner..."; else, you'll need a vast hard drive.

Be Free.....Judy more details: http://savannahnow.com/node/369707 [couldn't select some text] 42, was found lying in the backyard of her rural neighborhood in this community southwest of Jacksonville. Her 2-year-old pit bull terriers, Rebel and Thor, were standing over her. The dogs could be heard barking viciously at the woman's son as he talked with emergency dispatchers and tried to check her pulse. Canterbury had been bitten on the face and upper body and was dead by the time deputies arrived. Her son, Christopher "Cody" Canterbury, 21, was bitten on the neck as he tried to reach her, but paramedics said he did not suffer serious injuries. In the recording of the 911 call, Cody Canterbury can be heard trying frantically to reach his mother while yelling at the dogs to get back. "She's got a cut on her eye, and her shirt's all bloody," he tells the dispatcher before trying to see if his mother has a pulse or is breathing. As he moves closer, he begins screaming at the dogs to move and get away before saying he feels a pulse but can't detect breathing. As he yells louder and louder at the dogs to move, the phone goes dead. In a second call, a man who identifies himself as Joe said his brother had been attacked by the dogs as he tried to check their mother's pulse. "They are in the backyard," he said. "They are over my mom, and they won't let us get near." When deputies pull up, he yells: "Hey, if they come at you, shoot 'em." According to a sheriff's report, one of those at the house - Joseph Harrell, 21 - already had shot at the dogs to scare them off. In addition to Harrell and Christopher Canterbury, a third person - Danielle Reavis, 18 - was at the house. Tina Canterbury's husband was out of town working and was expected to return later in the afternoon from New York, said Billy Canterbury, a family cousin and pastor of their church. He said Tina Canterbury and his cousin had been high school sweethearts. "She's a beautiful young lady," he said. "It's a tragedy, and the world is a lesser place for this young lady not being there." Billy Canterbury said the dogs were like kids. "They lived in the house with them," he said. "They would lay up on the couch with them." Connie Goon said that in her 18 years as Clay County's director of animal control, there have been just two such fatalities - and in each case, a pit bull terrier killed its owner. Authorities said there were no signs that the dogs were abused or had been used for fighting. No dogfighting implements or training devices were found at the home, and the dogs did not have marks that they had been fighters. No police calls were made relating to the dogs or other incidents at the residence on Cosmos Avenue off County Road 218, according to Sheriff's Office records. "This is a really sad, horrible situation," Sheriff Rick Beseler said. He said that before authorities arrived, one of the dogs already had been shot, and the second had run off. One of the first deputies to arrive killed one of the dogs when it lunged toward him. The second dog was found running along a property line and was killed about two hours later. The sheriff said the dogs that killed Tina Canterbury had been family pets since they were pups. Still, Beseler said, the case "brings to light the danger of these types of dogs." |

Okay - too stupid to recognize problems with sampling bias. Not surprising. But hey! I wish you the *best* of luck in your apparently never-ending quest to find stuff to be frightened by. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
