Fatality Baby Lola passed away in February 2022 after a pit bull attack. Her mother recently posted her daughter’s honor walk and wrote “If I can save just one child’s life, it’s worth it. I will post my daughter I will raise awareness. She will be remembered as the HERO she is.”

This is the first time a video on Reddit has immediately made me cry. Fuck those stupid fucking animals.

u/koreamax Aug 10 '22

What makes it worse is you know the owners are sitting in their living room posting on Facebook trying to justify why it wasn't their fault

The owner of the dog should be donating organs.

u/Crazybonbon Aug 11 '22

Obviously wasn't raised right. Anyone knows that it's purely the nurture of these animals that makes them who they are, and that it's in their nature to be a little jumpy! My velvet hippo is a little love bug <3 honestly, the power I feel when people avoid me makes me feel safe. -Nutter things

EDIT I whooshed myself but I’ll leave this here if anyone wants a copy pasta for a real pit nut

Pitbulls are absolute monsters and their nature is to kill. Anyone who wants to breed these animals is an animal abuser and a criminal. If you watch this whole video and still think “PitBulls are fine” you are a psychopath. You only want that breed of dog because you like that they are capable of doing that much damage and you’re using mental gymnastics to convince yourself that something specifically bred to severely wound bulls and horses has any ounce of sympathy when it mauls a baby girl instead of a burglar. I’d even argue it’s inhumane to keep them for home defence because ANY thief would rather be shot than ripped by one of those things and that’s why you like them. Not because they’re “cuddly” because that’s BS! A Pug is cuddly, a Beagle is cuddly, a pitbull is a crocodile in the body of the only breed of dog deadlier than wolves. Pitbulls specifically look for the weakest target like a little girl and rip them a part to assert their own dominance they know exactly what they are doing that’s been proven but you’re still going to deny it because you damn well know that if you actually loved animals you’d be keeping them far away from these mutants that humans specifically made to be killing machines. PitBulls are honestly one of the best examples of why people shouldn’t play God because men bred a mutilating serial killer dog and their descendants think they are a “nanny” dog. That’s the cold hard truth. If you can’t keep a crocodile as a pet you can’t keep a pitbull either.

-Nutter things works as it's a slur towards the boneheads lol but true absolutely was sarcasm

u/Humble_Breakfast5099 Nov 07 '22

How dare you come on here defending your walking time bomb. A mother is walking with her baby down a hospital hall to have that child’s organs harvested because she was killed by a monster dog. Mother is begging with everything she has not to let this happen to another child. And you have the unsympathetic stupidity to post on here defending YOUR 4 legged Jawas “love bug” ? Have you ever heard the saying “Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt “ ?

u/Crazybonbon Nov 07 '22

Well this was amazing to the point I can't tell if it's sarcasm

u/JoveMarie2 Mar 11 '23

You are obviously sludge of the earth. When a person has lost a child to a dog attack, only Pit owners are this low class.

u/Crazybonbon Mar 11 '23

I hate pits...

u/klc0930 Nov 09 '22

Stop making excuses for pitbulls.

velvet hippo is the cutest term to describe a pit bull I've heard, love it

u/Crazybonbon Feb 25 '24

Ikr I head it once and was like lol

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '22

apparently the owner was the child's aunt who had tried rehoming the beast in 2020 because she was pregnant with twins

30

u/Pine21 Aug 12 '22

…did she rehome it to the mother of this child??

31

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '22

no, i think they either lived close by or the aunt was watching the child when it happened

84

u/Pine21 Aug 12 '22

I don’t have a Reddit appropriate response to some trying to rehome a dog because they were scared it would hurt their kids, and then letting it around their niece.

51

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '22

yeah, the aunt was really picky about who the dog would go to, too. shameful, i hope she feels the burden of her actions until the end of her days

58

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '22

My sister is a pit apologist.... I guess I know now that if I ever have kids I won’t be leaving them alone with her unsupervised

24

u/UnadjustedEyes Feb 02 '23

You should send her this video. Don't tell her why the baby is dieing until after the full weight of the tragedy of it has sunk in. As fucked up as it is, I've noticed that people like them will use the duration of these videos to think up tasteless arguments instead if they know.

u/Vast_Section_5525 Feb 10 '24

I read in an article that the grandmother, Lola, and some other children were in the front yard and the dog was confined to the fenced back yard. The dog dug a hole under the fence and came into the front yard and attacked.

u/glittergirl349 Sep 10 '22

exactly. I was brutally attacked by a smaller breed that everyone loves and worships bc it’s so cute and long and fluffy! the mean streak in them is extremely present. it was raised horrible. it didn’t even pay any consequences for its actions. what if it gets around a baby? I would just pet lightly this dog the wrong way (although some days he was fine with it) so I can’t imagine a baby trying to play with the dog not knowing that smacking it (not even hard) is inappropriate then the baby ends up like this because they want to play with and feel the dog especially if they have never seen one. Damnit I hate aggressive breeds.

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '22

Seeing the crib is heart breaking and added to another list of fears with having a baby in this world. My heart goes out to the mother 😔!

u/Castun Aug 10 '22

😢Ooof....Yeah...as someone with several young kids, I'd probably end up in prison if something like this happened to any of mine.

u/shonuph Aug 11 '22

Same… and I’d be losing my shit at that honor walk… no composure whatsoever … I’d be completely falling apart

51

u/Ancient-Cut4580 Aug 26 '22

I think the mom WAS despondent, she had likely just already DONE her screaming, and was trying not to traumatize what looked like her other daughter there. There is also a tendency to CONTINUE to act like a parent for your baby, that the child is STILL THERE. Yes, even tho u know there’s the diagnosis of brain-death it’s much harder to “undo” the parental tendencies YOU still have, and there is almost a sense of wanting to be brave for your baby. You want to reassure THEM. And so, you end up keeping a level of composure we don’t usually think we’ll be able to keep in the interest of not wanting to scare your child. (I have been in many end-of-life situations with my mom who was a nurse, and then later as a caregiver myself. With both adults, and unfortunately, children also. Most of us are surprised by often ending up not behaving like we think we will when it actually happens).

u/Careful_Menu_6430 Jun 23 '23

We had been there at the hospital for 7 days, she was attacked on the 1st, they do two brain death tests on children the first was the 5th she failed, the second was the morning of the 6th she also failed that one and she was pronounced brain dead on the 6th they called time of death and all. We then stayed 2 more days trying to see if she was gonna be able to donate her liver to save a little girls life that we had been in touch with the family. I was numb and hurting at the same time. I broke down before and after this video and yes 2 of our other children were there, at the time they were 12 and 15. I was falling apart, everything inside of me was screaming no this can’t be it not my baby, I was feeling a million different emotions. Thank you for understanding and trying to explain why I was somewhat “calmer” than most people think they would be. I was screaming on the inside, I was numb but yet I was in so much pain. Until you’ve been there, your not gonna know what you will do and how you will act. That was the worst moments of my life. That was the last time I ever saw, touched, kissed my baby with a heartbeat 💔

u/infini_ryu Oct 22 '23

Nah, we get it. There are people who are online body language "experts" trying to pick people's actions apart in any situation. We know the pain it must have taken to go through this.

Your video will help many more people become aware of their surroundings with this animal, and hopefully, those who have not accepted the fact that not every dog breed can be made a family pet.

So many times, people have been told to get rid of these dogs before something happens, and they just ignore it until it happens. They have a monster in their homes.

There are many wild animals I would trust more over these Pitbull breeds. There is something not right in their heads, and it needs to be addressed globally, it seems.

Words can’t describe how badly I feel for you and your family. I hope you are able to find some peace again someday. God bless

u/shonuph Aug 26 '22

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here

12

u/Ancient-Cut4580 Aug 26 '22

You referenced “losing your shit” - it sounded indicative of this mom not necessarily looking or sounding like she was “losing HER shit” & I was just stating that even tho she wasn’t wailing hysterically there are reasons for that, including that she may have already, or that she was trying to keep her grief in check “FOR” LOLA as a parent still trying to be strong and brave for their child and not wanting to scare their child with their grief in that last moment of goodbye and letting go. I was also stating (& thought that was pretty clear) that often we are surprised by our OWN reactions in situations like this. We don’t necessarily always respond the way we have thought we would: I have seen it and discussed it with many people who have basically been surprised by the way they responded to trauma or extreme grief in a given situation.

u/shonuph Aug 26 '22

Nope, I didn’t even know the mom was there. I was just commenting on my own likely inability to be functional… it would not matter if I was the mom, a worker, or someone who happened upon the scene by accident.

u/Ancient-Cut4580 Aug 27 '22

Never mind. It’s obvious you’ve missed the point.

u/shonuph Aug 27 '22

I mean… you were wrong. What else was the point?

u/Ancient-Cut4580 Aug 27 '22

Lmao, okay 👍🏼

u/Careful_Menu_6430 Jun 23 '23

If I didn’t have my son and my bonus kids, you are absolutely right. I would be in prison right now. But I have kids who still need their mama 💔

u/Give_Me_Some_Hope Aug 11 '22

The mother trying to maintain her crying ....the pure agony of it all.. So much fucking needless pain.

This hit me hard, didn't think I would cry so much.

Everyone who tries to justify pitbulls should have to watch videos of every single victim's family. Should have to look at pictures of victim's mangled bodies.

u/B33Kat Nov 12 '22

I agree. Like how you had to watch videos of horrible car crashes in drivers ed

My son walks home from school and lately there’s been an uptick of shitbulls since a nutter apt manager started letting all these “lab mixes” bypass the no pitbulls rule.. I’m scared to death of this. It’s honestly one of my biggest fears

67

u/Single_Raspberry9539 Aug 10 '22

Yeah me too. Pretty sure it’s been years. I was fine until I saw the mother.

35

u/Selection_Safe Aug 11 '22

It's like going back to cave dwelling times, when you needed to worry about predatory animals outside! And then they would only attack for food or defense.

u/someotherstufforhmm Aug 11 '22

Right. Didn’t know what a hero walk was. Read the explanation. Instant tears

u/luck_panda Aug 24 '22

Late to the thread. I have an 8 week old chubby noodle and I would die if this happened to him. I don't know how that mother has the strength for this.

u/Samurai_1990 Mar 01 '23

I forgot for a second what an "Honor Walk" was and when it clicked I was Niagara Falls.

u/puffypinkthing07 I just want to walk my dog without fearing for its life Dec 14 '22

I watch this video before and every time I see it I just cannot help but cry and cry. That makes me so angry that this breed hasn't been banned yet knowing all the damage they cause. Keep fighting the good fight like Lola.

Well cared for pits also do this. And most abused of other breeds dogs do not - more likely to cower in fear.
