Nine Year Old Attacked by Pit Bull

It's happened again. This time to a nine year old girl in Gainesville, Ga. Little Adrinna Adkins was attacked in her family's apartment by a friend's pit bull.

The third grader had just returned home from school. She was cradling her cat in her arms when the pit bull forced open a bedroom door and attacked Adrianna and her cat. The little girl, trying to shield her cat from the vicious dog, became the pit bull's victim. The dog attacked the girl's arms over and over again. Finally, she was able to escape from the dog and run  to safety.

Adrianna, who was airlifted to an Atlanta children's hospital, is in stable condition after several surgeries. Doctors report that once the child's arms heal, she'll have to undergo physical therapy and probably plastic surgery.

Pit bulls are just too unpredictable to be family pets. Take the dog in this attack. According to news reports, Adrianna's mother said she was shocked by the attack "because the dog seemed to be a well-behaved and loving animal, playing with the children and even sleeping in their beds."

Pit bulls are NOT dogs that you allow to sleep with your children. Pit bulls are NOT dogs that should be living in an apartment. And, most importantly, pit bulls are NOT dogs bred to be family pets.

For more complete coverage of this pit bull attack, read the full story in the Gainesville Times.

  1. The amount of idiocy in this article is... whoa. I can see why this 'article' didn't get much attention.

    Seriously, are you nothing but a schoolchild?

    I'm not even going to waste time PROVING you wrong because it seems your immature brain won't be able to process it.

    Oh, and by the way, aren't articles supposed to be written on facts?

  2. This is again a story about irresponsible dog owners n parents not of a bad pit bull. Why was a 9 yr old home alone w a dog that isn't here's and carrying a cat around in her arm's. It sounds to me a story of neglect, the little girl is left alone to take care of a pit bull that's locked up in an apartment w a cat. I'm sure the dog isn't properly trained and since they are in an apartment I'm sure the dog has to be walked on a leash(which can be hard for any 9yr old girl w ant breed of dog that's not trained) I'm pretty sure the dog isn't getting any excercize or being fed properly. But I'm sure it's just another bad pit bull, right. Chances are its not even a pit bull, anytime there is a dog bite or attack, they immediately report that it was a pit bull type dog without any facts (the dog could be 1% pit bull n 99% lab) but it will be reported as a pit bull attack.

  3. Not sure, Anonymous. Are you blaming the 9 year old for the dog attack?
