"This is one of those very unusual incidents and we're glad that no one got more seriously hurt," he said.

600,000 dog bites serious enough to require emergency room treatment happen in the USA every year and the reporter calls this unusual?

lol..I think unusual in the sense that the dog decided to hop on the bus and bite. Like a smorgasbord I guess.

Seems like congress runs around constantly trying to make laws to “help” us...yet they won’t touch this one.

The Germans got to a point where they just enough, and outlawed several breeds of dogs from being loose. Either you keep them on a tight leash outside, or you have the dogs taken away. This all came a city park episode where a pitbull tore up some kid on a playground.

My brother was telling of a developing situation in his hometown (Bama)...and the locals are fed up with some family who lets their pitbulls wonder freely and tear up other dogs in the neighborhood. This week, the neighbors showed up at the townhall meeting and basically gave them full warning to write a law or anticipate some kid being attacked within six months. The mayor finally woke up and appears to be working on a leash law for the town.
