Crazy Dog Mauling 5 Houses Down

[Destroit]

This happened Wednesday. I actually know the family that lives in that "ugly green house" as the little girl who lives there, Stephanie, puts it. I feel bad, it's so nuts it happened right around my block. The man they interviewed, Mr. Dupree, lives in the white house that at the end of the block (three houses from me), the kids that live there come down to play with my next door neighbor's kids. All the kids in this video are the ones that are always coming down to my house wanting to pick stuff out of my garden in the backyard and wanting to talk, etc. Just crazy it happened so close! Even crazier that I didn't know about it until today. Can't believe these people were irresponsible enough to not train their dog, if you are going to have a pitbull you REALLY need to go the extra yard to make them have nice temperament. Also, ALL male pitbulls should be fixed! I notice when they show the dog in the video he is still fully intact. You are almost GUARANTEED to have your unaltered male pitbull attack someone. I had a friend that had a red-nosed pit and after she insisted that them having their balls doesn't make them vicious, he killed someone's cat and was put down.

At least the little boy is okay. I've never met him but the article says he was visiting a relative and doesn't live here, so that would explain that.

I'm glad he is ok though. It's always odd when you see something on the news that happened near where you live and you don't even know about it until it airs. I've had that happen quite a few times from a few suicides by kids to car crash deaths and drug busts. It's odd sitting there and then just hearing your town mentioned. I'm glad it was only one child and that that child is ok.

I know, it's even crazier when it's on your street! Kind of like last night when we were over a friend's house watching Tru TV. There was a show on the most shocking high speed chases and it was like "Roseville, MI. This driver was pulled over on a routine stop when he just sped off from officers..." It was SURREAL watching it because I'm from Fraser. The whole video I was like "Okay, now he's at the corner of Groesbeck and 11 Mile...omfg, look he made it all the way to Gratiot. Now he's at 12 and Gratiot.....okay he's at 13 and Gratiot...now he's passing Macomb Mall..." Guy ended up at the curve where Gratiot splits and starts to go into Mt. Clemens. I had never heard about this high-speed chase, I grew up about a mile from there! It was crazy to see.

lol I know...I saw a chase like that, well online after the fact, but it was of someone I knew! Well it was someone who lives in town and his family lives near us and my mom works with his kids...and in the video it's just like holy crap! I know that person! What a moron! Would have been freakier if the place he was being chased I knew like what you were saying.

On a different note...I wish people would realize how dangerous animals of any sort can actually be. Even the most loving house cat has some fierce instincts. People unfortunately handle animals poorly most of the time.
