Wow. The fact that she had to defend the breed so much because she probably knows they’ve attacked children and babies before. It just seems exhausting. Good for you on protecting your child. I witnessed a child get attacked by a pit when I was a kid. It was very scary.

You worded this better than I could have… thank you! Perfectly said. I stand by this as well!

Exactly, and it’s almost always that way. They defend their pit before you even say anything. I grew up with labs and it’s a great feeling not having to worry if your dog is going to maul someone. We had friends over all the time and my parents never had to worry. Our neighbor has a pit, and I get very nervous if she’s out walking it while I’m with my dog. I will say that her pit seems very well-trained. It walks on the leash right next to her and never pulls. However, that doesn’t stop me from thinking it couldn’t one day try and break away from her to attack my dog or one of the small dogs in the neighborhood. She literally told me “He has to be well-trained like this.” That told me everything I needed to know. My boyfriend carries a knife on him when he’s walking our dog just in case. I don’t know if that would even stop one of those beasts.

Exactly. I was stunned to hear they were giving him a hard time. Just goes to show how nuts they really are…

You’re absolutely correct. If she owned a lab, beagle, golden, cocker spaniel, pug, border collie, etc, I can guarantee she wouldn’t have felt the need to defend it. This “nanny dog” propaganda BS with pitbulls needs to end, among other propaganda. I find it hilarious when you present pit people with the stats that this breed has attacked more than any other, including unprovoked, and they deny them for any reason they can pull out of their a**. There was a documentary on the Dax case and one of the big pitbull advocates was interviewed(can’t remember her name). She had the nerve to say she didn’t truly know what happened that day, as if the baby sitter was fabricating her story. Then, had the audacity to say “was the baby crying?” WHAT does THAT have to do with ANYTHING? So, the attack would be justified if the baby was crying? Do these people listen to their dumb selves when they talk???

I couldn’t agree more. It’s absolutely horrendous.

What? Omg. :(

Yeah, such a sad and horrible case. I’m sorry to hear about your dog. Did he/she survive?

She was a pro-tobacco lobbyist? Wow! This woman is worse than I thought. Yes, I loved his response to that BS!

That’s where I heard about it!

Yeah, that woman was making me so mad because that didn’t make any sense at all. Nothing she said made sense, and her “arguments” were embarrassing. It’s like I lost brain cells listening to her responses to the interviewer.

That’s amazing! Greyhounds are so cute. I feel bad for the ones that are used to race. Are you familiar with Jenna Marbles and Julian? You can find them on YouTube. They have adopted retired racing greyhounds!

Awww. Poor baby. That’s so sad! What kind of dog?

WTF?! I can’t even believe what I’m reading because it’s just so insane. Why isn’t animal control doing anything about those dogs when they’ve been called more than once? They are clearly dangerous. Is there anything else you can do? I would absolutely dread living next to these dogs.
