I discovered the pit living next door when my husband and I had the girls outside while we did some yard work. I was walking up to the house when our schnauzer started going crazy. Lola soon followed suit. I looked over to see what had them freaking out and there was this young guy with a huge tan pit on a leash. Points for having the pit on a leash but what good does it do if he can't control the animal while on the leash? I started freaking out. I ran over to the girls, who by the way were jumping at the fence right in front of the dog's face, picked both of them up and carried them into the house.
Thank God my husband had fixed the gap in between the house and the first chain link fence post the previous weekend. What if Lola had slipped out and ran up to the dog?!?! I swear she's braver than the schnauzer! lol
I'm sorry if anyone is offended by my ranting about another breed but when it comes to my 4 lb yorkie I tend to be a little over protective. Even our medium sized schnauzer would be no match for a dog of that size and strength.
Okay, I'm done ranting now. Thanks for reading! lol  |
I've lived through this......
The next door's had a huge pit and an Australian something. The pit used to attack the other dog on a regular basis, and if someone was home, many times they would come out and beat the pit off the other dog. The other dog lost all personality and cowered all of its life, until one day they came home and found it in a pool of blood...but get this...REFUSED to say the pit had killed it.
Then there was the fact that one of their sons had MD and was in a wheel chair helpless.
But one day that pit wanted my little yorkie Rocky, and he just took planks from the wood fence in his mouth and ripped them off like they were paper and came through the fence. He went for the baby and he and my daughter just barely made it in the house. I stood at the back storm door and watch him snarl through the glass.
The mistake I made was calling my neighbor at work to come get him...then I called animal control after the incident was over. They told me that they would have had to remove him from my backyard in order to keep him, but since I had the owners come and get him, no dice.
Eventually they ended up giving this dog over after it started dismantling the sheet rock in the house in some kind of fit.
BUT THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE...who told me when they bought this puppy that the onus is on the owner and it is "all in how you raise them."
Yeah RIGHT
I feel sorry for you, you are now beginning a nightmare that was mine. These people moved about 3 years ago. The new neighbors biggest sin so far is that they throw loud frequent parties, but I'll gladly trade.
