What is it they say about folks who own pit bulls and Presa Canarias?

I have a 13" Beagle who weighs about 20 pounds. My husband got in the way one day (dog fight). This little Beagle lacerated his upper lip (through and through laceration). Little dogs can do a lot of damage.

I don't like the tone of this article...

It's punishing people and responsible dog owners for stuff their dog hasn't done yet.

The numbers are stunning. As of last week, meaning Mabel Wong's mauling would be included, pit bulls were cited in 831 attacks. The next closest was the rottweiler with 373. No other breed made it out of double digits. "They are off the charts,'' says Gamez. "If you look at the fatals and severe bites, you will see the majority are rottweilers and pits.''

Like Howie Carr says "Most Pit Bull owners are drug dealers".

I call it Bully by Proxy. The "people" across the street finally moved after two years of dodging the pitbull to get mail or take out the garbage for collection.

They not only thought it was funny when the miserable dog charged us, but refused to keep it under control.

I should have called animal control at the time. I will if anything like this happens again.

I've owned several pit bulls. Now I have a Presa Canario. Never had a problem.
