I sincerely doubt that the owner trained that pit bull to crash through closed doors and go on killing sprees in other people's homes.
Sounds to me like a clear cut case of a pit doing what a pit was bred to do. Pure genetics at work.
Again - this isn't sensationalizing at all. I'm using an example that happened less than 48 hours ago in my own county of residence.[/b]It was a screen door...
Let me give you something to think about. About 3 years ago, I was at my in-laws house. Our two pugs were with us. The older one (incidentally, the one that died last week) all-the-sudden shot out of the living room, through the screen door w/o even slowing down or missing a step, grabbed a cat in its mouth, and then both animals fell off the deck, 'cause Peanut's momentum was WAY too much for him to stop...
Was it because I trained him to, "crash through closed doors and go on killing spree"? Was it poor ownership? Probably not. In my particular case, it turns out that Peanuts just plain didn't like that f*ing cat. He never had any problems around any other cat; just that 1.
I don't know what happened in your county with this particular dog-on-dog attack. It could have been similiar to my situation, where 1 dog just plain didn't like the other one, and took care of business. Or it could have been something different.
But I can say one thing with certainty: it had nothing to do with what breed of dog it was that caused it to "break in" to the house and attack the other dog. There was something mentally going on between those two dogs, not genetically, that caused the attack in the first place.
