Chicago - A pit bull jumped the fence of his yard for the express purpose of mauling a little boy playing in his own yard.
Animal control and the police refused to identify the breed of dog, but that fact and the seriousness of the boy's injuries made it clear that it was a pit bull that was the attacker.
