Pit Bull Attacks Baby - Mom Saves Boy By Tossing Him Over Fence
<snip>

COCOA, Fla. -- A pit bull attacked a mother and her baby in a Cocoa neighborhood on Tuesday. Neighbors tried to help the victims during the attack at the intersection of Pinyon and Longleaf.

Now, the mother and baby are in the hospital and the dog is dead.

Amanda Ibraham, 18, was apparently out on her side yard, trimming her trees, when a pit bull mix came out of nowhere and lunged for the woman's small child. Ibraham may have saved her son's life by throwing him over a fence after he was attacked by the apparently stray dog, said Barbara Matthews, spokeswoman for the Cocoa Police Department.

Once rescue crews could get Ibraham and her son to safety, they started treating them for life threatening bites. One-year-old Keyshawn Ibraham was gnawed deep into the side. His mother was bit on the face, chest, arms and legs.

1. The last part of this story might raise your hackles a bit - - -
'There was another pit bull attack at this same home two years ago.

Another woman who lived there at the time was attacked along with her dog. She also put her dog over the fence to save it.

They were never able to find the pit bull and those people moved out of this neighborhood because of that attack.'

? ? ? Is there a serial pit bull-breeding creep out there with a grudge against this particular residence or what? And does 'he' somehow watch the attacks?
