There’s a really nice nature trail near me. I walk it on occasion.
The owner of a house that borders the trail bought a pit bull. It’s one crazy dog, jumping and growling at anyone who passes by.
The dog is chained to a post. So no worries. But now I carry a revolver when I walk that trail. Because I don’t know how strong that chain is.
“ Because I don’t know how strong that chain is.”
And there is no way of knowing what the maximum pull it can withstand until it is one tiny bit before it breaks. I do not recall anyone having a pitbull when I was a child or even a young person. Where did they come from?
