There is a lot going on and a lot missing. From what I see this is the first right to a limited resource issue. I am also assuming the pitty had claimed the new puppy. So when the girl picked it up the puppy, the pitty saw that as a challenge for leadership over the first right and attached. I am sure that dog was showing signs of these coming for a lot of time. Leadership is very important with dogs, especially with bully breeds. The worst part of all of this, due to a poor understanding of dogs and a misguided approach to dog ownership, this big boy will pay with his life now.
