Mistaken Idenity

Reports online initially described the dog in the article below as a PIT BULL, however the dog was not a pit bull.  Just another case of media hype making another mistake and not correcting it.  There have been no retractions.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — A Florida woman is dead after being attacked by her own dog.

Police say 30-year-old Shawna Willey was killed Friday when the 120-pound Presa Canario mauled her while she was trying to give it a bath in the backyard of her house in Coral Springs. Willey's daughter witnessed the attack and alerted a neighbor who called police.

Police spokesman Rich Nicorvo says when officers arrived, the dog was standing over the woman's body near the swimming poll and made aggressive movements toward them, so they shot and killed it. They don't know what prompted him to attack his owner.

Florida court records show Willey was cited several years ago for having dangerous dogs.
