I love all dogs. . .well, the one exception is a pit bull. My grandmother was attacked while working in her garden when the neighbors pit bull climbed over their fence. She didn't even know he was there until he lunged at her. To this day she still lives with pain (this occurred when I was 16 - I'm now 34.) She has horrible scars on her legs and arms.
Also, another point the reason this dog climbed the fence is because he was bored. He'd been banned to the backyard since he jumped and tryed to attack the owner's 4 year old daughter. (And no, the little girl wasn't the type to pull on or even really play with the dog.) Anyway needless to say, the dog was put down. Since then I've avoided pit bulls at all cost, and honestly don't trust them with small dogs or children. When that dog tried to attack that little girl -- he was only 2 years old, so he'd known that child his entire life.
Be cautious this breed is highly agressive, and yes, I'm sure there are individual pit bulls that are wonderful -- this has just been drawn from my own personal experience. |
