First of all... read the definition of "mauls", and then, quit using it until you can use it correctly! Secondly... it wasnt even a pitt bull! I know the owner of the dog personally and I also know the dog! It was a mutt! A mixed breed! Why does the local media always throw "pitt bull" out there anytime a dog attacks someone!?! And something else... Why does the media act like the child was doing absolutely nothing? Hunter WAS NOT attemting to tell the Folmar's that their dog was loose but instead was attempting to come play with the dog! So tell me... why can the media NEVER get the facts straight? Why does Jacksonville Daily Progress throw assumptions out in their papers everyday before ever finding any facts? Ya'll are suppose to be reporters! Reporting takes investigation! Something ya'll have NEVER done! I've read store after story where ya'll have no idea what ya'll are talking about before you print whatever ya'll feel like printing! Open your eyes you morons! Ya'll throw stuff out there before finding any facts and sometimes you ruin people's lives by doing so! Some people believe everything they read and ya'll not only take advantage of that, but also munipulate it! Ya'll's lies have ruined MY life PERSONALLY! Thank you Jacksonville Daily Progress! And just for the record... I mentioned above that I know the Folmar's personally, and the dog, and the dog WAS mean! It was EXTREMELY protective which is how it was trained to be! I do believe that several people could have done several things differently to prevent this from happening including the Folmar's and Hunter's parents! But either way, I beleive the owner should be responsible for his dog's actions... PERIOD! So... good luck Josh Folmar!

Thats a good point! Dog owners should be held responsible for their dog's actions! Oh, and I seen the dog on the news and in the paper, and if thats a pitt bull then i'm Hispanic!(I'm really white! lol) Com' on Jacksonville! Use your head every once in a lil bit! And Jacksonville Daily Progress needs to be done all over! New Reporters... New Owners.... New Employees... NEW EVERYTHING!! I agree with Justin... learn to report!
