People like to point at pit bulls, but an enraged German Shepherd is a terrifying animal.
Nuthin good ever happens on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
Yes they are.
They are an animal that needs to be respected, and if they get out of control as appears to be the case in this situation, then this action was justified, though to me still sad because I really admire them.
I would not ever want to be on the business end of one.
Speaking of pit bulls the people across the street sneaked one in and would let it run at night. It came up on our porch one night growling at my wife. The neighbors have been looking and asking. Seems the dog ran away a few days ago...
Any enraged dog is a terrifying animal. Pits are particularly bad because they clamp on and won’t let go and also because they are extremely muscular and have very thick necks (preventing the victim from strangling them, which can be done with other dogs).
Sadly, these declining towns and cities are often full of semi-wild dogs. A lot of them are dogs dumped by drug dealers who had them for protection or by people who raised them for dog fighting, so they’re not friendly.
Clearly you have fallen for the Pit Bulls clever plan. The Pit Bulls recognizing the bad publicity and the direction of public opinion has organized a secret cell that disguises themselves as different breeds and carry out random attacks so as to distract us away from the actual Pit Bull attacks!
There is only one thing to save us and that is to understand that all dog attacks are carried out by PIT BULLS!
Most strangers won't come within 10 feet of mine even though they are very friendly with people. That being said, GSDs have a more powerful bites per pit bulls.
Yes, pitbulls are part of a class of 'bully dogs'!. I include German Shepherds and Rottweilers in that class. Though German Shepherds are intelligent, they are a lot of dog to control.
I'm not a fan of German Shepherds. I've had several bad experiences with them.
The only breed ever to bite me in anger was a GSD. I’ve run into few really friendly ones, while I’ve run into several friendly Dobermans and Rotties.
Any dog that has gone feral is possibly dangerous.
They’re called Land Sharks for good reason. Mine devoured an entire book! ;-)
