Yorkie Yakker | Off the leash Pit Bulls Why do people with pit bulls let their dogs off leash? Today The girls were riding their bikes and Jada and I were sitting out front when all of a sudden I see this pit bull running loose Ok jada was in my arms already but I had to get my girls asapWe live in the city with row homes, I really hate this my kids cant even play outside let alone my dog. Just because your dog never bit or attacked anyone doesnt mean you take that chance and let them off leash. Thankfully everyone was ok This dog must be new to the block because I never saw him before. Hello there is a leash law in Philadelphia for a reason. |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | I would call the police and report him. I don't think that I would wait for the pit bull to attack one of you kids or your dog. Report it.

| I feel this way about ALL dogs! If you bring your dog to a public place that requires leashes, your dog NEEDS to be on a leash.

| That would be one of greatest fears come to life! Let alone a Pit but any strange dog! I hate not being able to take my own two for walks in my own neighborhood because of wanderers but I have to go to a whole different park!

| Oh how scary! I live in a small country town where we have no leash law. People are horrible about letting thier dogs run free. I worry about letting Maddie out a stray will be passing through. She is NEVER allowed outside with out mommy. |

♥Tiny Tia my Furbaby♥ Donating Member | I don't why but I go in panic mode when I see them. We have one round the corner that the guy just lets out his door and wander around the green where we live.Ive vowed next time I see it Im reporting him. Kids play out there and I just don't trust those locking jaws they have.Im sure there are lots of nice ones out there, but not off leash.

| I know there are nice pit bulls however they are not my favorite dog, they seem sneaky to me... to many stories about those who trust thier own dog and later read a story about how it bit there child... uurrgghhh, if I am at the dog park and see one off leash I pick Laci right up off the ground!

| If my dog is not in our fenced in back yard she's on a leash. No question. Leashed. It' for her safety as well as everyone elses. Common courtesy!! Scary for you all... |

| My one co-worker carries pepper spray when she's out with her dogs. She has a german shep and a shep mix--so if a fight started, her dogs are both big. She said she's pepper sprayed a lot of dogs--big and small, with the small ones-for their safety, lol. She said she had one owner freak out that she did it--but she stated back to her, that there is a leash law-and her dogs could've killed that little dog. That lady called the police, the officer said that my friend was in the right doing it. |

| That would freak me out. I am of the agreement that ALL dogs should be on leash, no matter what their size.

| First off I would call the local police. It's the law that ALL dogs, big or small no matter the breed must be leashed at all times. It's not only to protect you but to also protect the dog. People who do not leash their dogs deserve to be punished. They are dumb, ignorant and do not deserve to own a dog. Not only could that dog be triggered to bite but it could also be hit by a car and die! These people need to be fined before something happens. |
