One Bite Too Many
Levi was my son. I wanted him very much. I was almost 40 years old before I could conceive him. He was my baby. He was all I had. His dad, (not DNA dad) Johnny worked 3 jobs to support us and he did that well. He’s a track hoe operator for Prairie County Road Department. He also worked for the city of DeValls Bluff.
Levi grew up around farming and John Deere Tractors in Des Arc, Arkansas. The farmers would give him rides on them awesome tractors.
But most of all Levi wanted to be a police officer. It was his dream. His daddy’s best friends were the chief of police and Prairie county deputies Mark Spain and Ronnie Joshlin. He looked up to those guys. He would’ve been the best damn cop there ever was.
Levi touched many lives and losing him destroyed me, my home life, everything. I had to move away. I still have what I call the Vietnam flash backs. There was so much blood and I was the one who had to put my fingers in his jugular veins to try and plug the holes where he just bled to death in my arms.
It was only one bite. (By the family pit bull) One bite too many. A very loving mother Deborah Gail Sizemore. We were visiting. I was not the dog owner.

I love Levi, without ever meeting him. His story will forever be in my thoughts. My son is everything to me, all my children. I am now proud to say, I was an over protective parent.
So so horrible and sad. My love is sent to you for the loss of your only child. I will tell everyone I know how dangerous pit bulls are. If I can prevent one more Levi from being killed, your message will not be in vain.
i met Gail on Facebook, we live in the same small town, years later and she still suffers every day and every night, it would have been so much easier for her if the dang dog had killed her. She know little Levi is safe, happy and loved with Jesus, but what she saw that day and the empty hole in her heart make everyday life incredibly difficult, I have grown to love her and pray for her just as I do my own children and grandchildren, how I pray people will some day soon realize these things (pit bulls) should not be pets any more than African lions! I am sure if you raised a lion from a cub many of them would never attack you either….but it is the inherent danger that makes them be outlawed!
