No — this isn’t about the movie, but it does have a sad ending. On Jan. 4, Laurie VanWyngarden lost her beloved poodle, Marley, in a pit bull attack.

“I was standing out in front of the apartment with Andy (her other dog) and Marley,” VanWyngarden said. “I saw one pit bull come up, and Andy was trying to being protective, as normal. So I picked him up. I had him in my arms, and two others (pit bulls) came from another direction, and Andy starting growling. They were trying to fight. They dragged me across the alley (by her arm). They dragged us down to the ground.”

VanWyngarden said the pit bulls did not show any signs of aggression: They did not growl or show their teeth — they just attacked. She said pit bulls do not know their own strength and that she still has nightmares about the incident.
