MOSES LAKE, Wash. - A man is dead and his wife was seriously injured Thursday after they were attacked by their own dog at a mobile home park in Moses Lake, sheriff's officials said.

The dog was identified as a pit bull or pit bull mix, said Kyle Foreman of the Grant County Sheriff's Office.

The incident unfolded at about 11:20 a.m. when a neighbor called 911 to report a dog attack at the Harvest Manor Mobile Home Park in the 4800 block of Airway Drive.

Deputies and medics responded to the scene and found the man and woman with severe injuries consistent with a dog attack.

1. I'd click on the story if it was a chihuahua.

Sounds too gruesome for me.

2. More often, it is a small dog

But if it's a GSD or APB, that will write the headline.

4. A small dog that kills its owner? How so?

5. Little dogs bite more and more often

Death can come from infection, blood loss, or head trauma from falling. Far more reasons if you look through ER statistics.

6. I was once bitten by my fiends Chihuahua but no blood loss or head trauma.

In fact the little little guy didn’t even pierce my skin.

3. The dog is was treated for his injuries

I imagine he'll be put down. I don't really get the logic of treating him for his injuries and then putting him down.

7. How was this dog raised? I can't see any dog raised with kindness and positive reinforcement

Doing this.

8. My thought as well.

Can only speculate, but sounds like the act of an abused pet.
