And, seriously, who are you people foolin? Pit Bulls are not trustworthy. There are MANY larger dogs than them, but they (and not all--but MANY) are viscious. I am a pet sitter, I see it everyday. Just yesterday I was walking a mini schnauzer and a pit came running towards us. I snatched her up and turned away from this dog. I dont trust them & never will. Look at the number of attacks and try to prove otherwise. |
first of all, to the OP: i'm so sorry! i hope everything is okay with your son. that is horrifying.

my husband and i recently got a new home which happens to be surrounded by his family members. the other day my kids were playing outside and my son who is 3.5 yelled, "puppy!"
i saw a pit bull and some other large dog (not sure the breed) running toward my son from across the street at my husband's aunt's house. i yelled my son's name very loud and firmly to tell him to STOP where he was. the pit was growling while running toward him.
the pit did stop in his tracks and started barking. i think he had actually seen another dog in the distance and was running/growling in that direction. my husband's aunt seemed dumbfounded by the way i freaked out. we don't know each other well at all so it was awkward. she assured me that he wouldn't hurt my son, but still - i don't want my kids thinking they can pet any dog they see. i've always been that way regardless of the dog's size.
his aunt came over today to talk while i was outside and i explained to her why i reacted that way. seeing this post reassures me that i was not overreacting. you can never be too careful.
