This comment was added to the story today:

Apparently there has not been enough tragedy as the victim's residence is now displaying another full grown pit-bull tied to something in the front.

Tyler Street is very heavily traveled by pedestrians on foot. The only thing between all of this foot traffic and that barking, huge dog is whatever he is tied to. It is only a matter of time, and maybe even more tragic, even fatal.
