P-I REPORTER
A West Seattle girl was hospitalized Tuesday afternoon after being bitten by a pit bull.
The 9-year-old suffered severe cuts to her upper and lower lips and
to her chin and face, after being attacked at a Highland Park home,
according to police reports.
Firefighters were called to a home at 7945 Delridge Way S.W. where
the girl had been attacked by the 90-pound dog. A neighbor phoned for
help after seeing the girl bleeding from her face. [...]

This incident has given a pro-BSL group an opportunity to push for BSL in Seattle:
"In Seattle,
it's a misdemeanor to own a dangerous dog. Families against Fighting
Breeds wants more bite in the law. They're calling for a ban on pit bulls, with mandatory sterilization and restrictions on new pit bull licenses."
