my neighbors are really good with their pitt - but at the same time - I keep a wary distance when I have the girls with me - no matter how nice they SAY the dog is - you just never know | |

| i'm glad everything is okay! the same type of thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago.. me and kevin were walking Parker,Star, and Lily in our neighborhood and this guy did not have his pitt on a leash. the guy was working by his gate and when the dog saw us he charged passed him to run to us.. we scooped up all the dogs and the guy was just running behind the dog yelling rider no! but that didn't stop him.. THANK GOD he was a non aggressive pit but still people need to control their big dogs. i don't care what breed they are

| Oh my goodness V, that would have scared the ~ you know what ~ out of me. I am always afraid when I take these guys out for walks and more so for my Penelope, because she is bigger than the others, but she is very protective and if something should give her reason .... she wouldn't think twice of protecting the other dogs and me! |

| So glad you and the girls are okay. What a scary experience. I live near a small town and there have been so many reports on pittbulls in the paper. I don't know what's going on in town. Now I live in the country and I'm still scared to walk the babies..coyotes, coydogs, hawks...I just walk them in the yard. You're wise never to let your guard down with any large dog, especially those with aggressive tendencies. Ya just never know.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | OMG V I am so glad that you and the girls are OK. What an experience....and you did the right thing picking up the girls high and turning your back on the Pit and boy were you brave....it's amazing what you are able do to protect these babies of ours. Typing this to you I think I could never of done that but boy once you are put into a situation like that your mom and protective instincts just snap into place real quick. It's like the mother bear protecting her cubs. That's why I have never taken Izz to a doggie park - I'm petrified of something like that happening. I'm so glad you guys are all OK and that you reported this to the management. Let's just hope that she follows through on taking care of this situation. Be safe and kiss the Double Cs for us..hehehe.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I'm so glad everything is okay and the girls are unharmed. You acted fast! That almost happened to me one day. I was walking the girls and there was like a rottweiler or some big dog that was eyeing my girls and looking mean. The owner had it on the leash but was very petite and looked weak like the dog could pull her so i still picked the girls up anyway and kept walking. I take no chances lol

| I am so glad you and the girls are OK! I know exactly how you were feeling this morning. Just the site of that dog headed your way unleashed must have sent your heart racing. Let's hope that's the last encounter you have with that dog! |

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | V, that was scary just reading it! I'm glad that you and the girls are unharmed. In an area like that, I believe that all dogs should be kept on leashes. There is a woman around here...she's kinda loopy - if ya know what I mean - ... anyway. She has like 4 or 5 dogs. Ranging in sizes from a Chi to a Mastiff. In the middle there is this dog, she's some kind of fluffy mix...no idea what breed she is, named Angel. Angel walks without a leash, and there isn't a time I walk past her where Angel doesnt come running after Tucker. It scares the CRAP out of me, but she always goes back to her owner before she gets to me.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | All big dogs that can do damage should be muzzled when they are being walked. Glad you and the girls were ok V. I had a bit of a run in this morning with a damn rottie that bit me.

| Im so glad you and the girls are ok! I have said this story before but I do not trust pitts at all after what I saw with my own 2 eyes...walking my cousins chi in the park, big pitt starts running over and it ended with the pitt walking in circles with my cousins puppy in his mouth all in front of children). Im sorry if I offend anyone here but I will never trust a pitt around my kids or dogs.

| Villette, I am so glad you are all okay! What a scary experience! You can get pepper spray is at Walgreens and also Wal-Mart. Do they actually sell mace anywhere? I imagine it would be more effective than the pepper spray, but I have never seen it in the stores. You can get those curly plastic (like a small phone cord) bracelet thingys at Walmart in the jewelry section. That would be good to put the mace/pepper spray on. I finally bought some myself after reading some of the stories on here.
