The family owns two sweet pit bulls that would never hurt a soul. Now their 5-month-old girl and a 2-year-old boy are dead. Ban pit bulls for god's sake. Miami does it.
An interesting trend with pit bull attacks is that several news outlets no longer mention the dog breed but just mention "dogs" in news articles.
