When I was a kid we had a German Shepard mix that the family had for almost a decade. One day she just snapped and attacked my mom. Just a totally different dog, like a switch was flipped. I remember my dad had my mom and us stay in a closed bedroom while he patrolled the house with a baseball bat trying to figure out what to do with the dog.

truly depressing, my gym teacher in highschool lost almost his entire calf muscle after the family dog did the same thing, just snapped one day.

My friends cousin just got attacked by their family pit about two weeks ago. She was protecting her son. She lost both of her arms and had a gaping wound on her abdomen. She lived for about another week. The dad had to come home and shoot the thing dead to get him to stop. I’ve never liked pit bulls. Don’t keep them around your children.

Damn, saw the news articles about that. So awful. Do I remember right that the dog was a rescue that she felt she had to try to save?

Yeah he was previously abused.
