(Lockport, NY, July 10, 2007) - - We want to warn you that our top story is both bizarre and deeply disturbing. Police are investigating an apparent sexual attack by a family pit bull on a two-year-old boy in Lockport. The boy is at Women and Children's Hospital. News 4's Lorey Schultz reports.

This two-year-old pit bull shows no signs of aggression, but it did on Sunday when it apparently sodomized a Lockport toddler.

Residents who live in the neighborhood where it happened are still talking about it.

One neighbor said, "You hear about dogs attacking children in horror films, but as far as in this community, it's never happened."

Police say the boy was sexually assaulted in his Washburn Street home by his family's two-year-old pit bull, who had been with them since it was a puppy.

Lockport Police Detective Captain Larry Eggert said, "A little boy was home with his family, and the family pit bull actually sodomized the boy."

Eggert told us the boy's family members and neighbors had to beat the dog to get it off the child.

Schultz: How serious are the child's injuries?

Eggert: He's had some surgeries to repair some pretty significant damage.

Animal advocates agree that this case is an unusual one. While pit bulls are notorious for being aggressive, they say it's not always true.

Al Chille is executive director of the SPCA in Niagara County.

Chille said, "I, personally, am against this idea of outlawing any specific breed of animal."

Schultz: What would trigger a family pet dog to attack like this?

Chille: One doesn't know, really. ... There could be some quirk in the brain of the dog. ... It could be the smell of the diaper or something. I don't know.

Police are bringing in a behavioral expert to help determine what triggered the sexual assault.

The boy's family wants the dog destroyed, but nothing will be done until the investigation is completed.

Chille said, "The intent, apparently, wasn't to hurt the child. ... My understanding is the child had no bites on him at all. ... I guess the message is be respectful of a dog, until you absolutely know the animal."

That's a bit harsh don't you think?

So... Who left the pit bull around a naked toddler? How can you get upset over this, dogs sodomize everything. You spray them with water or beat them, it's part of their nature, wtf.

I blame the glorification of violence and sodomy in todays media directed at young pit bulls.

Was seriously about to quote that without the last two words. How the fuck did that get through the editor?

[Akiyama]

That is hilarious... I missed that. D: I'm behind times.

[Furtwangler]

That was the first thing that stood out in the entire article for me, I lol'd when I read it but I decided to say something about how retarded the family is for wanting to "destroy" the dog instead, because that is really stupid

[Norelco]

Heh, gotta love that there isn't an ounce of sorrow shed in this thread for the poor fucking kid.

[MF Perm]

It's funny because before I spayed my female pit she was a humper. Pits lock their arms around and get this death grip. I have this mental picture of this poor kid and it's hilarious. They should have just been responsible and spayed the dog. I'd adopt it if I lived in the area and they put it up.

Heh, gotta love that there isn't an ounce of sorrow shed in this thread for the poor fucking kid.

I was thinking the same thing. What a strange story, ha.
