I wonder about having pit bulls!!!

I don't think this was a pit bull thing, I think this was a puppy thing, except that pit bulls do have massive jaws and jaw power.

Pearl was a huge chewer when she was a puppy, and she destroyed $200 eyeglasses, $100 headphones, pens... anything plastic or wooden. Dog trainers explain how to teach the dog to chew only on chew toys, and also how to prevent them chewing on you: you give a yipe sound and pull away even if it doesn't hurt.

Puppies will chew on each other all the time, as part of their play, and they signal each other if it hurts.

So, I vote for parental failure here.
