My mother hates that too. Dogs have enzymes or something in their mouths that kill germs making their tongues cleaner than humans. I let my puppy "kiss" me on the face all the time and it drove my mother crazy. She went everywhere with me and slept in the bed with me too. I spoiled her rotten. She's my baby. Then again, Sparkle is a frou-frou dainty Shih Tzu, a toy lap dog, and not a pit or chow. My dog barely had teeth when I got her at 7 weeks! It's weird that the puppy was only 5 1/2 weeks old and actually chewed that boys fingers off. He needed to be put to sleep! At 5.5 weeks, he should've still been with his mother. I cannot stress enough that people need to carefully consider pets before get them. That retarded puppy was probably the result of genetic problems or something early in the line that could've been prevented if the owner would have been responsible and had it spayed/neutered.

Pit bulls are not "bad or mean" dogs. Unfortunately, because some people call themselves "training" or "raising" them to be extremely agreesive (for dog fights, etc.), they have gotten a bad rep.

My brother has a pit bull and she is the sweetest thing. She would probably run from a buglar. *lol*

Pit bulls have definitely gotten a bad rep. I have one and she is one of the nicest dogs and just as scary as me. Chows on the other hand are really crazy. We had 2 when I was growing up and they didn't like anyone but my dad and I couldn't be left alone with them.

Actually: Little Donte (short for Dontavius) isn't much worse off then he was when he closed his little eyes that night. He was paralyzed as is, so he was always playing video games with one hand, etc.

Good think big brother woke up, damn! The dog mighta just ate the whole left side UP!

How can a dog eat your finger, bones and all...ugh!

Perhaps thay smelled bad like meat or something. Maybe because they were paralyzed he couldn't keep them clean and the dog thought...I don't know. I am trying to imagine the scenario.

Agreed. I'd actually be more concerned about the Chow portion than the Pit portion, to be perfectly honest.

It's just bizarre that a dog would eat, instead of lick, a person's hands though. Never heard of a dog doing that before, particularly a puppy that is only 5.5 weeks old (which is a really tiny animal at that point). Definately a good thing the dog was put down.

yep, Chows can be aggressive, I've got a part Chow, part Akita... let's just say, no one bothers my home.

But, w/ puppies, they are prone to biting. Mainly, like babies who put things in their mouths, it's how they "feel out" the world around them. Couple that w/ the fact their was probably food on the child's fingers, I can see how a puppy might have mistaken the finger tips for small sausages or other food.

If the puppy had all night to work @ it, and was used to being fed bones and other items from the dinner table, I can see how he might be able to eat the fingertips.

Chows are the only dogs that turn on their owners regularly. They don't have the trust that other breeds have. They can't be trusted the way other breeds can.

Pit bulls-its in the way they are raised. Yes, they CAN be vicious, any dog can, if its mistreated.

The Chow is more the concern.

I knew a pit bull growing up that was the sweetest dog ever. The Chows I've known were plain mean and unfriendly, all of them.
