Let me add a few more details to this situation to help all understand a little better. This dog use to live in my neighborhood and I have witnessed it act aggressively on three separate occasions. The dog attacked the mailman in our neighborhood as mentioned in the article. It also trapped a neighbor in his car and jumped on the car door not allowing the man out. It also got loose on yet another occasion and chased men that were working on a nearby house into the house and into their work van. The dog than charged the Dog Officer and police

that responded to the scene. Also, by law residents of Pawtucket are not allowed to own Pit Bulls so I question what type of person it was that owned it originally. Mr. Brightman remarked that it is the owners that make these dogs the way they are so I ask what do these facts say about you as the owner. Are you possibility just foolish, irresponsible, or naive. The dog is aggressive and was deemed that way for a reason. Hopefully this time the board takes a more aggressive action themselves. No one wants to see a dog put down but obviously the dog keeps getting out and putting people in danger. God help your poor daughter if she is attacked at some point and has to live with the scars physically and emotionally. You are knowingly putting her in harms way. There are signs that the dog is aggressive and you are ignoring them. You will have to live with yourself and your guilt if someone is hurt.
