CALIFORNIA
'Hero pup' pit bull tries to save baby from house fire by carrying her by the diaper
BY MATTHEW MARTINEZ

mmartinez@mcclatchy.com

A mother in Stockton, California, says her 8-month-old pit bull is a "hero pup" for saving her and her baby's lives last week when a fire broke out in another unit of her fourplex.

Sasha the puppy and 7-month-old Masailah have a special bond, their mom, Nana Chai, told KCRA.

"She's in her bed every day," Chai told the station. "They take baths together and everything."

So it's no wonder that Sasha went straight for Masailah as soon as she felt heat coming through their door just before midnight on Sunday.

The pit bull alerted her owner that something was wrong first by barking and yelping, before any of Nana's human senses detected that anything was wrong.

It was one of the few times Nana had left Shasha outside in the backyard for longer than just a few minutes, she told KTXL. The dog was going berserk, yelping and pounding at the back door.

"I open it and she runs in and starts barking at me like crazy, and I was like, 'OK, this is weird. This is not like her,'" Nana told the station.

As she got closer to the door, she saw a glow coming from next door, her cousin's unit in the fourplex. Sasha was already on her way to get her best friend.

Nana, 30, rushed to her Masailah's room, but Sasha had beaten her there. The dog was trying to carry her out of bed and to safety — by Masailah's diaper.

"She has my baby by the diaper just dragging her off the bed — trying to get her to safety."

They got out of their home unharmed, but all of Nana's unit in the fourplex is now unlivable, according to a GoFundMe campaign started by Nana's sister Christine White. The money will go to "help not only my family but also Sasha our hero pup start a new life in a new home."

Nana told McClatchy on Saturday that Sasha is staying with her aunt until Nana finds a new home for the family, and she misses all four of her humans — Nana, Masailah and her two older sisters.

"She misses the kids and sleeping in their beds. I take the kids over there so Sasha doesn't cry all day," Nana said. "It's hard to answer the questions, 'Where are we going to live?' and 'Are we going to be homeless?' when I'm trying to figure that out as well, so right now we're leaning on each other."

I currently have a pit/American bulldog mix. He was dumped in my buddy's neighborhood so I took him in. I'd just lost my male presa a few months prior and my female was definitely feeling the loss. This dog is the most docile and best behaved dog I've ever had. Kind of a pussy though..

That's great. I still would never own one. Nor would I want any of my neighbors to have one

Yea I have been on a ranch for the last 5 years and they don't make the best ranch dogs. I have a Borador and an English Bully for now. If I lived in town though I would get another pit in a second.

In California they really went after BSL but they failed. Since then the combination of there being so many and all the TV shows on the breed have really changed people's perception even here in the lily liverd People's Republic.

*whistles* Never mind all that data...

66% of all human deaths via dog attack, 284 people dead (including many babies and children) from pitbulls since 2005, 6% of the total dog population. Just like any other dog right?

link https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-st...-2005-2017.php

In the 13-year period of 2005 to 2017, canines killed 433 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (284) of these deaths. Within this period, deaths attributed to pit bulls rose from 58% (2005 to 2010) to 71% (2011 to 2017), a 22% rise.1 [Table 2]
Today, when averaging the last 3 years (2015 to 2017), pit bulls comprise about 6.5% of the total U.S. dog population. This is a 63% rise since the 3-year period of 2010 to 2012 when the total U.S. pit bull population was estimated to be 4%.2

Giving you shit but that does seem to be a great mix, I see them at the dog park all the time and they seem like great dogs. Congrats on ascending from shit bull ownership to an honorable group.

That doesn't really tell the whole story. I wonder how many dog bites there truly were, how many smaller dogs bit or attacked someone. If a chihuahua bites someone, it is going to do far less damage just by the nature of the size of the dog and biting power. Pitbulls are not, by nature, the aggressive, man-eaters that you seem to want to make them appear to be.

I have done this subject endless times and was not interested in being serious about it again. I just wanted to see Hamas panties in a wad.
They call everything a pit bull when it attacks and especially kills. Remember the Presa Canarios article I posted when they killed that woman in SF? They called them pit bulls. BSL people are a joke. It's sad to see there are still places that have that type of legislation. It doesn't surprise me that a guy who lives in the epicenter of dog killing country posts these stats.Denver alone had killed like 3,500 dogs since their ban pulling them from citizens homes. That stat was from a long time ago. Probably killed 10k dogs by now.

All that said dogs in general often times don't recognize babies as human so I don't recommend anyone leave a big ass dog alone with a baby.

I've been a dog park regular for more than 10 years. I have seen more than my share of pitbulls. Many are sweet, friendly dogs. Many others are sweet friendly dogs until suddenly they aren't. Playing suddenly turns into a vicious attack where killing is the objective. Way more than any other breed.

I used to be in the camp of "it's not the dog, it's the owner." And while sometimes that is the case, it's kinda the dog. I would never own one. And all the "rescue all the pitbulls" bullshit TV shows are giving unprepared and unqualified dog owners a very wrong impression that they should own one.

I am absolutely the biggest dog lover I know, and I am sick to death of the local humane society handing out badly bred pitbulls to unqualified owners like Oprah handing out cars. It's incredibly irresponsible.

**** pitbulls. They are like Russian Roulette. Sure, you might get lucky, but why the hell are you playing? Get a better breed of dog.

If I remember correctly, its actually labradors or golden retrievers that hold the title with cocker spaniels also up there.

You have to factor in the description of the dog. People assume anything that doesn't look like a lab is a pitbull. I have a presa canario and I routinely get told "that's the biggest pit I've ever seen," despite the fact she's a good 40lbs larger than the breed standard for a MALE pit, I could make a spare rug with her extra skin, and oh, by the way, actually looks nothing like a pit..
