This terrible story happened close to where I live. It hit home as lately while walking my dog in the woods I’ve run across a women in her 60’s walking two pit bulls. I live next to a 600 acre nature preserve. It’s a perfect place to take your dog.
She has one on a leash and a muzzle, the other runs free. She can barely control the one on the leash. The one that runs free appears friendly and is always very excited to see people and other dogs. My dog plays with the unleashed one for a few minutes, while the woman basically with all her strength holds the other dog back.
I try and leave after a few minutes. I’m friendly to the women and always tell her to be careful. What she doesn’t know is that I’m armed (9mm Glock). I’m very worried that someday I may have to shoot one of her dogs. It certainly ruins my walk when I encounter her.
Or, I will hear about this woman being killed by her dogs. Neither scenario will surprise me. For the record, I’m walking my German Shepherd mix and he’s not always on a leash. He is very well trained and heals to me whenever we see another person or dog. I then attach his leash. He’d be no match for these dogs. They both outweigh him by at least 20 pounds.
What a STUPID woman!! She’ll get what she deserves....hopefully it will be she herself that is attacked and not an innocent person!
best defense against pit bull attack is a fire extinguisher
