A "dangerous dog hearing?" Seriously?
"Cat attacks woman at dog show"
Now THAT would be a story...
Old lady without a King Cobra to protect her from the doggie Ping!!!
This guy sounds as sharp as a tack. The old lady probably thought it was a piano.
Who won? Did he place?
when good dogs go bad....woof!
the Akita be acquit
"It's an odd occurrence. This breed is not known for the propensity to bite"
Total nonsense. They're quite well-known for it. I've never myself heard of a story 2nd-hand, but I've heard 3rd-hand on places like this. And in the stats all the breed-legislation people on FR put up.
Never underestimate geese as "watchdogs". You will probably never be hauled into Judge Judy's court by someone complaining that your watch-critters "goosed" them.
Not only were they very alert and protective, it was fun watching people try to deal with them. All the insurance salesmen, encyclopedia salesmen, Jehovahs Witnesses, etc. pretty much how to react to a dog, but geese are a whole different thing.
When they see an intruder, day or night, they run while flapping their wings and although their bite is bad enough, they can whack the stuffings out of you with the knuckles of their wings....and they seem to enjoy it.
The geese "tolerated" our German Shepherd, but they also dominated the poor dog.
That poor dog got tired of being groped and manipulated and humiliated! Enough is Enough! The ankle-biting will now begin! AAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHMMMM!!!
It's unusual that a presumably trained dog at a show would bite someone, but Akitas were bred to fight and guard. They are not particularly friendly to strangers and can be aggressive. They are not and were never meant to be cuddly dogs.
Animal Services officers in Melbourne, Fla., say a large dog completing in a local dog show suddenly attacked an elderly woman and nearly severed her foot.
I've known of a few Akitas that bit. And they bite hard. Plus, if I recall, the breed standard requires Akitas to be "dog aggressive" [as a result of their origin as fighting dogs].
I just read something online from someone who was there. She said the owner knew the dog was aggressive and was asking strangers to approach the dog to see if it would be aggressive (I suppose she had been working on the problem, I'm not sure). So, it didn't sound at all like this dog was a normal, sweet dog and suddenly went on a rampage for no reason.
Additionally, apparently she had the dog on a loose lead, which is stupid at a dog show, period.

...Ladies and gentlemen,
The monster,
Which the peasants in this area call FRUNOBULAX
(Apparently a very large poodle dog)
Has just been seen approaching The Power Plant
Bullets can't stop it
Rockets can't stop it
We may have to use NUCLEAR FORCE!
HERE COMES THAT POODLE DOG!
BIG AS A BLIMP WITH A RHINESTONE COLLAR
SNAPPIN' OFF THE TREES
LIKE THEY WAS BONSAI'D ORNAMENTS ON A DRY-WOBBLE LANDSCAPE
KEEP IT AWAY! DON'T LET THE POODLE BITE ME!
WE CAN'T LET IT REPRODUCE! OH!
SOMEBODY GET OUT THE PANTS!
The National Guard has formed up at the base of the mountain
And is attempting to lure the enormous poodle towards the cave
Where they hope to destroy it with napalm
A thousand of the troopers are now lined up and are calling to the monster . . .
Here Fido
Here Fido
Here Fido...
"Witnesses and officials are unsure if Marie Tatman, 71, was severely bitten by a dog while she was walking by the dog or trying to break up a dog fight."
