It wasn't a pittie bull, but this still applies.

2 hours?!? Ffs shoot the dog and rush her to the hospital. Don’t leave her in agony bleeding to death. What a horrific way to die.

Sound like she accomplished feeding the dogs

2 hours? 'It took first responders two hours to assist La Marca due to the dog’s aggression, with law enforcement eventually shooting and injuring the canine.'

That’s ruff 🐕

OMG, what horrific way to go.🥺 'They found La Marca in a pool of blood, with severe bites to her head, arms, chest and shoulders'. I wonder why the animal snapped like that. Did something set him off? Was he familiar with her?

chihuahua’s strike again

Why TF did it take two hours to subdue the dog? My Gawwwd!

I just finished reading about a girl having sex with her dog and now a dog kills a woman who was dog sitting

Never will I own a pet.

Your not taking our guns or dogs!! So just stop now.

'It's unclear if the dog will be put down'!! Wow! Yeah, I think it's fine to put the stupid dog down at this point

They are not sure if the dog will be put down, 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️…

I completely misunderstood the headline 😂

It was a golden retriever again, wasn’t it?

Another mostly peaceful pit bull fatality?

The dog really loves Italian!
