"Jenkins said it started when she heard screaming coming from the wooded area in their backyard. She said she ran through the wooded area and found her daughter, in a creek, getting mauled by their dog. 'I said he's killing her, he was literally killing the child in front of me, so that's when I jumped and I tried to pry his mouth apart," said Jenkins.'"


"Asked if it was rare for a pit bull to turn on its family, Gerow said, 'It's not something that happens every day, but I will tell you that when these pit bulls go awry it seems that it becomes very significant, the attacks are profound. This is the fourth one that I've had involving a pit bull, and I call them maulings, the mom and the daughter were absolutely mauled. The little girl received close to 100 stitches, the mother received over 40. So I am fine with euthanizing this dog, I feel it's the best thing for everybody, he's a danger.'"

"But can we afford it and can we afford it now?'"
