BR, Sorry about your dog. There is no excuse for your neighbor's actions.
If I may, I would not blame the dog. The dog did exactly what it was bred to do. The problem is that some people decide that they like the look of a thing and then choose to deny what that thing really is. Pit Bulls are working dogs. They were bred to guard, attack, and possibly kill. They were not bred to be pets. To deny the breed's heritage and purpose is to court disaster. There is still a place for the breed, but it should probably be limited to those situations where the breed's abilities and characteristics are needed and definately only with owners that respect, and I daresay admire, the breed for what it is and can do. Unfortunately, your neighbor does not seem to be one of these people. If she will not be responsible, you will likely need to take action to protect you and yours. Please do so humanely.
