Until I saw the link, I thought this story was a joke. This is tragic and sad. The Northeast is very bigoted, and I personally hope the next President does not come from that region.

I’m glad the victim got $250,000 and now that dangerous dog needs to be put to sleep.

And the victim is Honduran. So stop using this as an excuse to bash Mexicans.

as a dog owner and lover, i have to say this dog should have been put to death the same day he attacked. he’s a danger to society believe it or not.ask any animal expert. soemthing changes in their psyche that you can not trust once they’ve crossed that line. additionally, i’m enraged at the anti-immigrant bashing going on. as a princeton family member, you best believe me and my family will be having our voice heard….

This is a hard one for me ’cause I LOVE dogs. I kind of feel for Congo and his owners. Also, have you been to Latin America lately? On a recent trip to Mexico, I saw a woman who had a tiger as a pet, and some guy was at a park with his diseased monkey (on a skateboard). Brown people are used to being attacked by wild animals. A domesticated dog is the least of their worries.

Um…what’s up with the photo coverage in the article? Is it that the newspaper of record selectively portrays blood and gore the likes of pulpy Mexican tabloids, especially when the gore is neither white, nor upper-middle class? You’d never see a shot of a bloody and nearly naked hedge funder who’d just been beaten up for trying to stiff his coke dealer.

I’m by no means against such bloody coverage, as long as said ickiness is more, well, universal. Maybe Times staffers can stop being so squeamish and people will actually start picking up the paper and reading it again.

the life of a dog being more important than the life of a Mexican is a fact of life in this country …Is this surprising?

You know that if a dog from a Mexican family had done that to a white man they would of killed the dog immediately and had fined the family 4x the amount.

For what it’s worth, this story made it onto a dog community I frequent, in the form of a post from a super-ignorant immigrant-basher lady, and everybody laughed her out of the place.

So, you say there’s something wrong with Cute Overload?
