Yesterday a neighbor was walking her 12yr old Yorkie who recently
was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Poor baby lost the sight in one eye
already. We have a pitbull who plays with owner in our dog walking area
UNLEASED everday. It is a law that all dogs must be leashed at all times
and leash not to exceed 6ft in length. This pit really is well behaved and
never bothers anyone. Until yesterday! My neighbor was walking her
Yorkie and the pit saw it and jumped on it pinning it to the ground
growling and snapping. The pit's owner kept yelling get off and the dog
paid no attention. He ran and pulled the pit off the Yorkie and poor thing
was scared to death but not bitten. Everyone was shook up pretty
bad. After getting things talked out everyone went home.
What do I see this morning while walking Buddy.
The PIT IS BACK OFF LEASH! Now what could be going on in that owner's
brain! He got lucky once why give this dog another chance of attacking
something. Now I have to get involved and report this. I just could not
believe he would have the nerve to allow his dog offleash ever again.
So tonight I have several calls to make. The next incident could be my
fault it I ignore it. What would you do?
