| I would not have a pit bull, nor most other large dogs. Years ago, on an early morning run through the suburbs of Richmond, VA, I was attacked by a pair of black labs who had gotten out of their enclosure. It was interesting to see how they co-operated - one would distract while the other circled around and attacked. I ended up with a full-sized lab hanging from my upper arm and my flesh cut to the bone. My yelling woke the owner of the dogs. He came out and got the dogs in. He was really embarrassed that they got out - he was a good guy - drove me to the hospital, where I received treatment. Do I have an animus toward Labs? No - but I recognize that dogs are pack hunters. In the area around the headwaters of the Chesapeake - Cecil County, Maryland and upper Delaware there is a pack of feral dogs - not Pit Bulls, not Pasa Canarios, or any other breed - just feral dogs doing what they have done since the dawn of time. |
