Villa Park — Julie Ketter’s 11-year old daughter hasn’t been able to sleep. At night she’s kept awake by nightmares, and during the day she’s afraid to go outside or ride her bike.
Her mother pleaded with the owner to get rid of the dog because her daughter is scared to go to the park and there worries that neighborhood children will be safe. It is unlikely, however, since that owner is breeding the dog and has a litter of pit bull puppies.
At this point, pit bull advocates will say, "He should be responsible." or "Ban irresponsible owners!" or something equally juvenile and ineffectual.
The real question for the grown ups is: What can anyone realistically do at this point in the situation to either stop Munez from owning pit bulls or force him to be responsible (and intelligent).

The question is: What kind of community do we want to live in? One that safeguards and protects children and pets? Or one that values dogs that are an immediate threat to living things if they escape their yard over children? The way local governments respond to tragedies like this will answer that question. Who wants to live in a community that values pit bulls over children and gentle pets?
Julie Ketter says that all the children in her Villa Park neighborhood knew her dog, Daisy.
Kids often would play with the 3-year-old bichon frise-poodle mix. Young girls would even dress the small dog like a doll and push her around in a baby stroller.
“Daisy would just let them do whatever,” Ketter said. “She was kind of the neighborhood dog.”
Daisy was with a small group of children on Sunday morning when she was attacked and killed by a pit bull that came from a neighboring backyard. The kids, including Ketter’s 11-year-old daughter, witnessed the fatal confrontation, which also left a young girl with minor injuries.

If he wants to do something for me, he should get rid of his dog because now I’m afraid for the kids in our neighborhood. I don’t want that dog in our neighborhood. Julie Ketter
