She finally got ahold of him and I just stood still till he dragged her out of site. I was pretty upset once I realized how close I came to losing a body part ...but no way was that dog getting my girls |
I read your post and was terrified for you, that must of been awful! Thank goodness you are okay.
With all the press, and sadly so,the bad press, on pits, it makes alot of us leary. I am sure there are pits whom are sweethearts, that wouldn't hurt a fly ..but in all I have heard, that is usually what the owners say, after something terrible has happened. I agree that even if you think your dog is the calmest and sweetest dog in the world, be responsible, use a leash. So when I am out trying to enjoying my day,with my lil guy or my grandchildren, I don't have to leave for fear something may happen.
