[Mangoman]

10. Yeah we Get it

A pitbull wouldn't even hurt a baby how clever of you

Pet owners need to rethink what they're really doing, if they own a dog that they cannot stop when it snaps and starts attacking something then they are putting their life in danger

My dog was just recently attacked and my wife was bit, if the pitbull owner tried to get in between me and my dog or me and my wife I would've easily hurt this guy in the worst possible way

The owners of vicious dogs , any vicious dog should be well aware that if their dog snaps not only could the dogs life be in jeopardy but the owners life as well

[Whovian]

11. Any dog over 20# can ba dangerous.

It's not so much the breed as it is the owner and the way the dog has been raised.

[Mangoman]

13. Well ...

I could punt a 20 pound dog through the goalposts
but punching and stomping on a pitbull's face got me nowhere

[flvegan]

54. You sound angry and biased.

Your fantasy of kicking a 20 pound dog a long distance and then committing potential animal cruelty aside...

[whatchamacallit]

14. As a parent I didn't rely on faith and left nothing to chance

Good Luck to those who do.

[rDigital]

19. Exactly, my baby is my everything. nt

[snooper2]

15. Did somebody say Pitbull?

[roody]

36. lovely dog--how sad that someone cut its ears.

[RedstDem]

16. Looks like he has his favorite bone

just kidding....

a friend of mine had the biggest wimp of a pit bull ever, proving there's nothing to the viscous dog tag that pit bulls and their owners must endure...

[whatchamacallit]

18. Yes that proves it

[SharonAnn]

20. "Viscous" dog? It flows slowly? It's think? What? Oh, sorry. Typo.

[Mangoman]

21. Lol

Since your friend had a nice pit , then every put must be nice ?

Holy fucking shit

The pits that attacked my dog and wife were described as "very friendly" when the owner yelled out as they approached , just seconds before they attacked

Your post is obscene

[get the red out]

27. I hope your dog and wife are OK

I hate it when people and pets get attacked. I am sorry this happened to you.

[SalviaBlue]

30. You could easily turn your logic around.

Since you encountered a mean pit, then all pits must be mean.

You seem really antagonistic. Not really a good way to make friends here.

Enjoy your stay.

[flvegan]

42. Do let me know if you ever hear back from that one, okay?

Well stated.

[SalviaBlue]

48. Crickets so far.

[flvegan]

51. I'd be shocked if not considering the source.

[Scootaloo]

53. I trust you'll be taking legal action against their irresponsible owner?

As it sounds like their dog was out unrestrained.

Too bad for the animal that their owner is an idiot

[Egalitarian Thug]

22. OMG! He's eating that baby!

Between his locking jaws and poisoned fangs that poor child is a goner!!1!1

23. A wonderful and beautiful breed of dogs

A compilation of photos of this beautiful and most misunderstood dog

[Whovian]

24. That was nice. Thanks for posting it. Pits are something that I have recently changed my opinion

of. I had to get to know one first.

[Ya Basta]

26. That's wonderful to hear

Like a lot of folks I grew up around dogs from when I was a newborn baby and have always had at least one dog as a member of the family and most of my life that included a pit bull. And I can honestly say from my own experience pit bulls have been the most caring and loving dog of them all. I love them all, but I have to give kudos to pit bulls. As long as they are not mistreated and socialized from puppies I would have no worries whatsoever with them being near children. They are IMO my first choice.

[Whovian]

28. My favorites have been German Sepherds and Collies.

My Sis was adopted by a Pit a couple of years ago and is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever known.

[Ya Basta]

29. Myself I've never owned a German Shepherd, but....

I've always thought about it. A friend of mine has always had them and his dogs have always been very beautiful. Very smart too.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. REC!

this!

[jmowreader]

31. Pit bulls are kinda like C-4

C-4 is, under most circumstances a very stable thing. You could mold a football out of it, encase it in vinyl to keep it together, and let the Carolina Panthers use it as a game ball...without damaging either the Panthers or the other team.(It wouldn't make the Panthers any better, but nothing short of firing the whole team and starting over would.) This is why the Army likes C-4 so much; you can shoot holes in this stuff without setting it off.

Similarly, pit bulls are under most circumstances the nicest dogs imaginable.

But under the right circumstances both C-4 and pit bulls can do the most horrific damage imaginable. The difference is anyone who can get C-4 knows what will set it off, but no one knows what a particular pit bull's trigger is until it goes off. And like C-4, pit bulls go from inert to devastating in a millisecond.

[Whovian]

34. You can apply that to any dog.

The only dog to have ever ripped my skin to the point of blood was a Chihuahua.

[jmowreader]

44. Then where are all the Great Dane and Newfoundland-caused deaths?

Could it be that because pit bulls combine very strong jaw muscles, terrier tenacity and lots of backyard breeding you are going to have more problems with pits than with, say, boxers?

Quick example: Belgian malinois. Very, very powerful dogs. Should be way the fuck up there on the Dog Eats Man list...but because no one over here knows what they are, you're not seeing malinois-related deaths in large numbers.(They're kind of the new and improved German shepherd. Cops love 'em.) Pit bulls are a different story.

[flvegan]

45. That's a cute response.

I started laughing at "very strong jaw muscles"

I appreciate you already summoning the proportion part of the discussion. It didn't help you.

[Whovian]

46. They don't get the press. Like the Neopolitan Mastiff

an old girlfriend used to ride with who took off the face of a guy who stuck his head into the window of her car to talk.

[jmowreader]

47. Those don't get the press because they are very rare

Pits don't have that problem.

If this website had been founded after Reagan's inauguration we'd have Daily Doberman Threads.

[flvegan]

55. So you admit openly that it's about press?

[pnwmom]

59. The question isn't which breed is more likely to nip, it's which breed is more likely to kill

a young human being.

It's not the Chihuahua.

[flvegan]

57. Prove that up, jmowreader.

Come on, that's a pretty insane claim.

I'll give you time.

Go ahead, hang yourself.

[rhett o rick]

32. Whew. At least it's not a dingo. nm

[robinlynne]

33. ooohhhh!

[arthritisR_US]

35. They are both adorable!

[Avalux]

37. Adorable. But that pic might rattle some people.

Pit bulls can be the most caring, gentle dogs.

[ceile]

38. Cute.

[CrawlingChaos]

39. Great big REC! Awesome dogs with HUGE heart!

You will never have a more loving or loyal friend than a Pittie. Sadly, our shelters here in Northern California are filled with Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls and chihuahuas - wonderful dogs who've been ill used by irresponsible, callous people.

We've got to change people's attitudes and fight the ignorance. Thanks for having their back

[auntsue]

40. Well, that IS a cute photo......

but regardless of the breed when a dog puts its paw on someone like that ii is a sign of dominanca as, is having its head over the other critter. So while it looks like the dog is protecting the baby...it's really OWNING the baby and that's not good. That pose is not a dog showing respect for human. Even a 3 lb chihuahau should not be allowed to do that. I agree with others here it's not the breed of dog it's the training by humans.

[flvegan]

43. As one who rescues this particular breed

and more than very most likely has far more experience than anyone else in this thread about this breed, I am still honestly shocked and amazed at the outstanding ignorance and stupidity that is oft evidenced in any thread where the breed is mentioned.

Most likely, that young child couldn't be safer.

[Carolina]

49. so you say,

but while a baby and any dog posed like that could be dangerous... why is it we hear so many horror stories about pits?! Because of a combination owners and the nature of the breed. I would NEVER allow a baby or child around such a dog because as one poster said upthread regarding C4 and pits is quite apt: you never know what the trigger will be!

[flvegan]

50. Fox news thanks you.

Ignorance about the breed and C4 aside. Thanks for attempting to play.

[Carolina]

62. Say what you will, it is still a breed that makes frequent

appearances in dog horror stories.

And while you're casting aspersions, consider yourself among the none so blind as the know-it-all willfully blind

[flvegan]

64. As reported. Do you hate African Americans too?

Such a shame, that. Based on your criteria.

[Carolina]

68. I am African American!

[baldguy]

69. Then you should know what it's like to be unfairly discriminated against.

Not to put too fine a point on it.

[flvegan]

70. Cheers. Well said.

Thanks for (as usual) getting the point.

[DBoon]

52. Treat a pit bull properly and they will be your friend for life

They are strong, energetic, and easily excited.

They can be high maintenance and require proper training.

But they are good dogs.

[Smilo]

56. A couple of months ago I was a Petsmart

when they were having an adoption event - I couldn't resist going and peeking at the doggies - even though I have three.

Well I met a cute little girl mixed breed, tried to take her for a walk and she was having none of it - we didn't bond.

I took her back and saw a little brown and white pup in one of the cages - very cute, huge eyes, wagged his tail - melted my heart and we bonded, oh boy did we bond . Took him out we got on well - called hubby - adopted dog. Drive up mountain road, poor love car sick. Got him home and my hubby said it's a pit bull - well it's a pit bull cross lab I said and I know I also said I would never have anything to do with a pit bull - but he is sooo cute and no one was looking at him and he is soooo cute and look at him.

Any our little pitbull is absolutely lovely - intelligent, loving, loyal and stubborn He gets on really well with the other dogs and loves to tease them by taking their toys and taunting them until they chase him - boundless energy and fun.

So never say never.

Oh and the dog that really scared me was Jack Russell that the owners had "messed with its head" and it attacked any body who moved unless the owner said it was okay.

[MotherPetrie]

58. Truly don't understand how a parent could take a risk like that

[Berserker]

60. BAN THEM

They should all be banned they are death spewers. Some pit bull nuts even display them openly!
They are only here for one reason and that's to kill!!!!
Now you see this is how the crazies talk about guns.

[flvegan]

61. *points and laughs*

"death spewers" LOL!

Only one reason and that's to kill?

LOMFL!!

[baldguy]

63. Horses kill more people every years than dogs do.Should they be banned as well?

The fact that you want genocide for an innocent group of defenseless animals says more about you than it does them.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

66. All this sort of remind me of a story that came to the newsroom about a little old lady...

A rapist, and 2 Chihuahuas. The guy was going to hurt her, her babies saw mommy in trouble and went into action. The assaulter was hurt and hurt bad. As we were reading the police report, we had no idea how to report this, where in the news we should put this.
we did a lot of dog attack pieces, but this was...
We decided to table it since the guy was in custody, awaiting trail. The news that he was beat up by 2 Chihuahuas and why could contaminate the jury pool. And the bosses went with a more believable story about a dog fight between two large dogs that closed down traffic on a side street.

Another that a lot of the talk reminds me of in my White Eyed Conure named B.A. There was a guy I borough home to meet the folks and B.A. took an immediate hate to him. Flew right at him. It was a good thing he wore glasses because that was what B.A was aiming at.

My point is that any living creature, no mater the size, the bread or even kind can hurt you.

[TexasBushwhacker]

67. We had a beagle that would always take his naps in the middle of the hallway

He'd stretch out real good too, almost the full width of the hall. We figured he would protect us from intruders because they would trip over him.

[TexasBushwhacker]

65. I was always afraid of them until I got to know one

I moved in with a roommate that had one. Her yard wasn't fenced, so he stayed inside. He was such a sweetie. He would climb up in my lap and put his arms on my shoulders. But when they let him out to do his business, if there was another dog, he would get into fights.

My cousin had a dog that wasn't a pit as far as I could tell, but it had a short brindle coat. It would bite anyone that wasn't part of her family, including me. He had already nipped someone else. Then he attacked their neighbor and they had him euthanized.
