Pit bulls and breeds mixed with them dominate Detroit’s stray population because of widespread dog fighting, said Ward. Males are aggressive in mating, so they proliferate, he added.


At two nearby homes, one pet dog was killed recently and another injured by two stray pit bulls that jumped fences into yards, said neighbor Debora Mattie, 49.

Last year, there were 903 dog bites in Detroit, according to Ward, adding that most go unreported to police.


Four months ago, a woman sitting on her porch on the east side was attacked by two strays that tore off her scalp, Ward said.

I saw that on the news...the dogs are running in packs and living in vacant-abandoned homes. It is so bad in some areas mail service has stopped.


Perhaps, we could dispatch ECSO deputies to Detroit.
