2024: A 2-year-old boy was fatally mauled by dogs at a daycare in Georgia. The dogs included a basset hound and several Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs

Another 1/10th of one percent sample to justify an argument?
“Abortion is wrong”
Yeah, but what about incest?”
THAT KIND of 1/10th of one percent failed logic.
Bassethiunds as predators?
Yer joking... Right?
You asked a question
I answered it in less than a 6 second search
Facts are a drag sometimes

Ifyou didn’t like that, you’ll hate the temperament test results even worse.

AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER 960 841 119 87.6%
AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER 770 660 110 85.7%
Same temperament pass rate as Basset Hounds.
Go figure.

She’s a cutie! ♥️
If it’s the owners, then charges should be filed against the owners. If does harms anybody , put down the dog(s)....owners spend a few years in the slammer..owner pays all costs of the injured.
I think many bully dog owners would think very hard about keeping such powerful dogs.
Better to have a yappy dog and a 357 magnum.
Parasitic bed hog.
Winter is not bad when it’s cold in here but summer is a drag.
Like a little adhesive furnace.
😁
That is the answer right there.
Your dog is your responsibility.
You wanna play badass with a poorly bred and untrained dog?
Pay for it.
GOOD for her! I’m so glad you had her with you.
Me too.
I really don’t know why I took her along shopping that night.
I generally leave the dogs home where they’re safer.
Somebody was watching out for me.
“Wonder if they were used for fighting.”

What the breed was designed for.
“
A local advocate for adopting dogs from the kennel before they’re euthanized says that almost every dog EXCEPT for pit bulls and rottweilers get adopted. Those two are almost always put down.”

Understand that most of the dogs in many shelters are PB or derivatives thereof. In some cases and places, up to 90%.
The Lord answers in noteworthy ways.
Multitools, indeed. Kudos.
Don’t know much about hyenas.
But disinclined to have one for a pet.

Same here. I was just curious how a pit bull would stack up against one. Hyena’s don’t mess around. The Honey Badger would probably take the Pit bull too. Honey Badger don’t mess around.
That’s I hear as well
