Answer 1

time and time agian ive seen my pets dead and burried them myself while my parents made jokes bout it...personaly i think if they had been their for me it would have helped...i think u should get a tree(it can be small or big w/e)  and plant it in memory of ur pup that way u have a type of thing ur kids can think of ur puppy in a good place....and perhaps a new dog would also help(of another pet to close the hole the other one left) but somthing to those effects would probly help....and u should make sure ur kids think that their dog is in a good place and free of pain=)  i obviously dont no ur kids ages or how long u had the dog or ne thing but i hope that helps some wat(and im srry bout the dog )

Your kids will get over it on their own, though it might take a while.  My son recently got bitten by a Rottweiler and has been afraid of big dogs.  His doctor recommended letting him be around a lot of dogs that are known to be gentle and not too playful, as the sudden movements would be scary at first.  They will probably always be nervous seeing two dogs getting rough or playful with each other, but I don't think they themselves will be too traumatized.

I hate these dogs and I especially hate their irresponsible owners. I have a relative whose black lab was torn up by a neighbor's pit bull. The dog was standing in its yard when the pit bull came charging down the street and attacked it. I am sorry for your loss and know how traumatizing it can be to see something so horrible happen. This is precisely the reason this breed is banned in so many parts of the country. People may swear that these dogs are so sweet and loving but the fact of the matter is that they are bred to be aggressive and for fighting. You don't hear of other dog breeds being used in dog fighting, This is precisely what they were bred to do.

Omg iam so sorry what a horrible thing to happen to a lil pup, i hate pit bulls i dont know why anyone would have one as a pet their vicious little buggers.

Maybe if you got another puppy it might take away some of the pain. I hope this helps :)
