What bulls***! Granted, I live out in the country, but there is a Staffordshire (Pit Bull), three Rottweilers, a Doberman and a Mastiff up the road from me. All of them bark at strangers, but not one has tried to bite me when I visit with their owners-the nastiest biting dog on this road is a Jack Russell Terrier owned by an equally nasty human. We have a Siberian Husky, and over the many years have had three other "dangerous dogs" that never bit anyone-two German Shepherds and a Chow. The Chow lived the longest at 17 years, and yes, everyone was terrified of him because he lookied ferocious and barked at strangers, but he never tried to hurt anyone who was a guest in our house. He and both of the (female) Shepherds were always gentle with our kids, and were great body guards for them, too. Our Husky is a good watchdog, but she has never tried to bite anyone either. I hope this crap gets stopped in it's tracks-they need to just fine irresponsible dog owners of ANY breed, period.

We have come to a very sad place in this country. I watched on CNN last night (I sometimes like to watch the enemy propaganda machine) as a young man with "13 years of law enforcement experience" who looked like he was about 21 years old promoted the idea of total passiveness during holdups and robberies. I was appalled. I said to my wife and 19 year old daughter who were with me, don't listen to this bozo, watch for the key opening when a robber turns head, or focus' attention else where and than fight like hell.

Bttt.

I've been bitten twice by a Jack Russell Terrier. The same one.
