I was playing in our front yard with the dog and this boy who lived down the street was riding his bike with his pit bull and for no reason at all that pit bull ran up to my yard and attacked my dog viciously!! My screaming and the dogs yelping caught the attention of the woman across the street who ran over pregnant and my mom ran out of the house pregnant and they had to kick that pit bull off while my mom picked our spaniel up to get her away from the pit. I can't remember how many other neighbors came out but it took alot of people to get that 1 pit bull away. Not long after that incident the pit bull attacked another neighbors dog and severally tore the dogs stomach open!
That pit bull was put to sleep after they went to court. I know the owners were very irresponsible.
I hate to sterotype but alot of "thug" "gangster" type of guys think that pit bulls are COOL for the very reason because they are vicious or "fighting" dogs. THey think it is cool to make these dogs evil. I see it alot around where I live. They put big chains on the necks with weights to make them stronger and beat them up to make them tough. It's sick.
I think another reason these dogs are so popular is because every time I see them for sale they are really cheap!
In my city they are banned. You have to have 1 million liability insurance, the dog has to be fixed, it had to be grandfathered in in order to count. But for some reason they are still being bred.
I know someone who has bred pitbull boxer mixes and has had the dogs deemd dangerous dogs. Yet they were not required to fix the dog??
Very stupid in my opinion. |
I agree with you parents should watch their children but what if the child slipped into the garage while the parents were sleeping. Thats why I said it will happen as long as parents own potentially dangerous dogs around small children. I know a lot of people do and they may not agree with me but your taking a big risk
