The story itself states that the dog was kept CHAINED UP in the backyard.
I hope the owner himself gets chained up.

I agree 100% with about poorly socialized dogs of any breed being dangerous. However, I keep very large yards of dogs and the safest way to keep them is on chains.
Still we are led to believe that the dog was indeed a Pitbull. A few years ago I requestioned the CDC's report on dog bites and the vast majority of dogs initially identified as Pitbulls were not actually Pitbulls at all. Even if the dog was a Pitbull does that relieve the parents responsibility for keeping an eye on their child. If the dog was a Dalmation, Chow, (both resposnsible for an inordinate number or attcks on children) or some other breed would the story have made the paper? Unfortunately, I would think not.
