“We have no understanding of why the dog attacked. It was completely unprovoked.”

Seems this is the usual comment.

It really wasn’t a Pit Bull.... it it it was an amish lab.....

I have to ask Chet, were you bitten by pitbulls at some point? Why the interest? Seriously.

Posters Number 4 and 5 are using Alynski’s rule number 5 against you Chet .

A woman who owned one of these kind ,loyal, animals gets eaten and they ridicule the Poster.

The article doesn’t make it clear, but I’m assuming that the dog belonged to the bitee.

“Woman’s arm almost severed in dog attack (Pit Bull Alert)”

See, this is why Pugs are better.

I have listened to the Pit Bull people here for years defend these animals. And I really tend to be on their side. It is usually the owner that is the problem.

But still...

I was walking my dog at Greenlake on Saturday and passed dozens of dogs. They and my dog all had varying degrees of interaction - all friendly. Then I came across a guy with a Pit Bull and didn’t give it a thought. My dog got within about a foot of it (it is a Maltipoo) and nearly got tore apart.

I’m done.

Apparently some people COMPLETELY misread my post and thought I was in some was attacking you or being disrespectful, some even accused me of ‘vitriol’ and being an Alinskyite, because I asked if you had been bitten or something. You post a lot of threads about Pit Bulls, so I was honestly, and without sarcasm or any kind of agenda, attempting to discern if you had a bad personal experience or something. I even attempted to to ensure that it wouldn't be regarded as sarcasm or anything else by finishing my post with ‘seriously’ as in: “this is a serious question.” I've chatted with you many times before and can't recall ever having a bad experience, or giving you any reason to suggest I was being nasty, I truly wasn't. I was asking a serious question. I apologize if you thought I was being rude, it was absolutely not my intention. Just an honest inquiry...I was just wondering about your experience.
