Thank God for the gun owners and their quick thinking.
All three women should sue the sh!t out of the dogs' owners. Surely the owners were aware of their dogs' dispositions. The dog owners will likely end up losing eveything, including their homes, in the civil suits and they are most likely facing criminal charges. All over a dog. How stupid and insane to even own a vicious dog. I feel so sorry for all of the women, especially the one who was seriously injured and may never work again. Another good reason to carry a gun; sometimes the BG has four legs instead of two.
I'd venture that you could hear the exact opposite statement from an anti who desires to own animals for their protective needs. Just substitute "DOG" for "GUN" and they'd make the exact opposite argument. The stupidity/insanity is not in owning something, but in how one is responsible with the things they own. "With great freedom comes great responsibility"
Just my $.02

Something was very wrong in the situation before the woman was attacked. For a bull mastiff to lead an attack like that is almost unheard of.
A bull mastiff is one of the most gentle breeds available. Usually the only exception to that is when they are protecting their family. Then they can do a lot of damage.

Unfortunately, it's hard to generalize all breeds.. I use to have a Newfoundland - known for being a gentle giant. He was very aggressive and very mean. I got him when he was 8 months old, and by that time, he was already over 110 lbs. Too powerful of a dog, and sure as hell not an easy task to conquer. I had to move him along to someone who had the proper time for his training. If I kept him, someone would have been hurt. No kidding at all.
