The victim was bitten at the neck to the death. While his family and neighbors who tried to save the victim did not succeed. The victim was eventually rushed to the Chamber Room of Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang.
This is the news that is being excited in Indonesia.
Unlike having or maintaining other types of dogs, there is a uniqueness that fans of this type need to know. The uniqueness is required an interrelated relationship of the 3 factors below which will relate to ownership of this type of iron dog, These three factors are
1.Choosing the right type,
- Train & shape his character to be a good dog, and
3.Needs a wise and responsible owner.
Not all owners want the Pit Bull is great & spooky as a watch dog. Actually each type has advantages and disadvantages, a rather large Pit Bull, with a large head and chest can be even more creepy as a guard dog, rather than a rather small Pit Bull, or a dog like a village. But is this little Pit Bull also able to drive out criminals? Yes, of course, when the villain disparages his appearance, but they will scream very in pain (he might break his arm) when this little Pit Bull bit him. And will this rather large Pit Bull also catch a wild boar weighing 70kg? The answer: yes, and should be, because of course that's the privilege of APBT, provided that Pit Bull is purebred. Because a 25 kg APBT can catch a 65 kg pig, what about a 40-pound Pit Bull? Certainly at least should be able or even should be able to catch a larger than 65 kg. (80-120kg). So it is not really a matter of type / size of your Pit Bull if it is still within normal limits and if it can still show the standard features, characteristics, and still be able to show it is one of the famous perks of APBT, namely: "The Locking-jaw" (Can bite very strongly without loosening like a lock, either against a boar or an agitator). So it takes "breaking-stick" to release the bite.
So in the end, there is the conclusion that the American Pit Bull Terrier type is not suitable for all types of people. I suggest that other types of enthusiasts do not even try to keep this type, if only because they are attracted by their strength or appearance, or experiment only for experimental or personal pleasure purposes (to raise prestige, follow the trend / maintenance mode of PitBull Or other), because remembering this type is actually very good, but can be used as a weapon for people who intend to abuse this iron dog.
Pit Bull from the past is sometimes used by the Mafia / gangster for illegal purposes, such as dog gambling, dog drug escort, or other illegal purposes. Sometimes Pit Bull is also used to deceive or block the attempts of arrest of drug mafia when the police try to catch him by chasing and releasing the dog Herder K9, then the mafia is also releasing his Pit Bull dog just to turn to catch the dogs Herder from the Police. In the hands of a good & thoughtful Owner, then the reputation of this type does not become as bad as the above. Many incidents that actually provide a reputation as a hero dog for APBT type. Some events
- Pit Bull successfully defends & rescues a small child who is attacked by a stray dog
- Pit Bull managed to thwart the robbery attempt at the Owner's home.
- There is also the true story of a Pit Bull that rescues children from the attack of a small crocodile around the river when children are playing.
In many articles I have written, there may be occasional misunderstandings from readers who estimate that I overestimated / digitized Pit Bull's ability over other types. But actually it is not so, in my mind there are 2 things that want to be delivered first is:
- all bad things that may arise due to mismanagement of the lack of responsibility, etc., which leads to losses can be avoided by first understanding the true features of this dog, and how to direct it into a useful dog.
- The second is that prospective owners of APBT who already understand this type can determine the decision to choose what type is suitable with his personality, because as we know that this type has a diversity of sizes, colors, shapes and performance, where each has advantages and deficiency.

Any puppies of any kind, whether of pure or mixed race, will surely be born one of the most dominant puppies and one of the most obedient children. In a normal environment, either obedient or dominant puppies can become aggressive.

Pitbulls are just like any other kind of dog, so socialized with kids then they are completely safe and of course there should always be parental supervision. Leaving children alone with any animal is an irresponsible act. For every dog, children's crying can trigger their excitement or hunting instinct, just as children run and scream as they run. Children can sometimes trigger fear in dogs, causing them to bite. Therefore, it is very important for parents to supervise and teach the children how to behave around dogs as well as to teach their dog how to behave around the children.
