In my case it would have been a boar. I worked on a farm in Virginia when I was 13 and I’ve kicked plenty of hogs and shoved many a cow out of the way. The farmer had two boars though and they scared the hell out of me.
Don’t even get me started on all the wyas in which I contest this article.
Let’s just say coincidentally I ran across an article just yesterday about why serious service dogs are never rescues, but they dare breed their own, from purebreds.
That summarizes how I feel. If it’s the best for a service organization, it’s probably the best all around.
If you are not in charge of your doggie, your doggie is in charge of you.
Let's not get carried away. The statistics in that article are just for fatalities. They say nothing about bites or other injuries. I love my own dog, but I prefer other people keep their pets out of my yard. And it really annoys me when I'm walking my dog and some other dog comes running out at us.
My rescue is a blue heeler. You mess with him, you’re likely to have a slime-ridden tennis ball dropped at your feet. Over and over and over. Beware!
Beautiful dogs! :)
After long day, made me smile :)
The most wonderful dog I ever had was a Rescue, found as a stray — running wild.
True, he was a Golden Retriever, bust just sayin’!
I agree. We used to have a pack of pound dogs all big. Never had a problem with them.
This lady is an evil moron. I hope she loses everything dear to her.RIHB.
I don’t think it’s an ‘Either/Or’.
Most are losers in life looking for something to juice up their sad existence. Fortunately Pit Bull owners generally cannot afford to live in my neighborhood so I rarely see the garbage breed much.
Six of my seven are not pit bulls or in any way related to them; Billy who is a so called PIT BULL was just another rescue who needed a loving family and and someone who would care for him.
As far as you are concerned; I should have heeded my Fathers advice; “ NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT, THEY WILL JUST DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE”.
My wife and I own a pit bull.
We are far from idiots so either you are mistaken or a liar.
Pick one, the other or both.
Not fair with the deer statistics. The blasted things kill quite a few more people who tangle with the animals, when they hit one with a vehicle.
And while rescue dogs are all the rage, they are not without behavior problems. A young friend of mine adopted one that was promoted as having a great temperament. Not so. The 5 year old dog has bitten her boyfriend multiple times and bit her father. Neither man would ever hurt or tease an animal, so teasing is not a factor. The dog has a major behavior problem, which is why it was given up in the first place. He bites out of possessiveness toward the young lady. The shelter neglected to represent him honestly and now the new owners are saddled with a dog that is a burden, instead of a joy.
“they are not without behavior problems.”
Correction: The above should read, “they are not all without behavior problems.”
Many dogs are given up because the original owners failed to raise them properly. The original owner discards the poor dog because of their irresponsibility, instead of taking the time to socialize and train the pet in the first place.
Obviously, many, many rescue dogs make fine pets, but shelters have the duty to disclose any behavior problems an animal may have to prospective adopters.
Hopefully no innocent child loses a face or life for your poor choice. Not that you care.
It is your hole dumbass so keep digging.
