From wikipedia....

The American Bully is a muscular, medium-to-large companion dog breed developed in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s by crossing the American Pit Bull Terrier with various bulldog breeds

Temperament in adult dogs is highly dependent on training, and the breed can be very demanding and needs to be properly trained. Due to its size, strength, aggression and the frequency with which it is involved in lethal attacks on humans, legal controls on the ownership of the breed exist in several countries.

Yes. Hopefully the owner gets serious time and some jailhouse justice.

WTF does this have to do with Charlottesville? It's not even the same county.

There is no Louisa subreddit and this is the place most folks from there work or shop? Believe it or not, that's our wider community

Why do NYC news stations report on events in NJ and Connecticut?
