2017 MI - A pit bull that was known to be vicious and that had previously attacked a man was allowed to attack a 10 year old girl severing her arm.  The pit bull also severed her foot, "but not completely" and doctors were able to reattach that, too.  Doctors have reattached the arm and are watching for infection.  She is in very critical condition.  This is what happens when cities believe it's a great idea to allow people to keep vicious animals in communities.  Detroit Police Chief James Craig believes it is wrong to allow the public to keep vicious dogs.  Thank You Chief Craig.  Pit bulls have been mauling children in Detroit at an extraordinary rate and public officials are doing nothing about it.
