Would not want to mess with one. Would have shot an attacking bullmastiff also, given the same circumstances.
Lady, don’t mess with my property. It makes me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

P.S. I'm a dog lover.
Good shooting!!!!
One of our dogs was recently shot. She was where she didn’t belong. As the owners, it’s our fault.
It sounds like this woman had the same problem. Control your animals or someone else will for you.
Killing a mean dog is news?
Actions speak louder than words. I have absolutely no remorse about Flato in this situation at all. If you can't control your dog, either you shouldn't have it or you shouldn't walk it in a public place.
My neighbor used to breed them. “Corporal” was his big male who one day went nutzoid in the pen, and proceeded to maul the younger, smaller dogs. The neighbor decided to intervene, but only succeeded in getting himself chewed up pretty bad. His wife came out with the shotgun, and put an end to ol’ Corporal. Damn dog had a head the size of a basketball.
Bullmastiffs are generally very docile dogs. Very protective, but not very aggressive.
That being said, they are very dangerous dogs in that when they become aggressive, they can easily kill or maim even a full grown man.
With the injuries sustained by the greyhound, and the testimony of the bullmastiff’s owner, I would have to say it was a good shoot.
I have two greyhounds. I always carry a blade when I walk them, as there have been pit-bull attacks in my part of town.
A few years back in two pits killed a greyhound named Henry. One of my greyhounds is also named Henry.
When the story hit the local paper, everyone who knows us thought it was my Henry. I got tons of calls and sympathy.
I am fully prepared to cut the jugular of any dog that latches on to one of mine.
Tammy, Tammy...Tammy’s in denial.
That's like saying you couldn't shoot someone stabbing a person until you give them a couple more seconds - and several more stabs - to stop.
Lady, buy a clue.
the man GAVE the dog extra time by kicking him and then warning the lady to pull the dog off or he'd shoot.
her attitude is like the people who say we shouldn't have guns for protection but rely on the police - who arrive in minutes when seconds count.
“The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is investigating whether the shooter was justified in firing on the bullmastiff, Stafford said.”
WTF authority do they have? Pound sand.
You should ping Fawn, she loves it when dogs are killed.
Bullmastiffs are among the dogs banned from Fort Carson under a policy restricting so-called aggressive breeds ...
A tearful Tammy Martinez told The Gazette her dog Flato wasn’t dangerous and shouldn’t have been killed.
“If he was aggressive, he would have went after the owner in self-defense” when kicked, Martinez said.
Were I the Judge, I would give Martinez 364 days in jail, and the maximum fine, her comments so disregard for the law and no remorse.
Would not want to mess with one. Would have shot an attacking bullmastiff also, given the same circumstances.
Case just about like that one happened to me while I was walking my dogs. Saw a lady coming my way on the other side of the street with a dog she was having a hard time keeping under control. I kept mine in check and passed by.
Didn’t go 10 yards when I heard her holler and saw her dog out of the corner of my eye coming up on my Black & Tan.
B&T was game and fight on. Took a bit to get them apart but I think mine got the best of it.
There are about 3 ladies in the neighborhood who walk large dogs they can’t control. Now, most of the time I take a side street to go around them.
A bullet can calm a BullMAstiff right down.. and make it friendlier..
That woman had no business owning that dog. If you cannot maintain the role of Alpha, get rid of the dog.
. . . a former professional dog trainer . . . agreed with her that Flato wasn’t dangerous.
One man's dog trainer is another man's village idiot.
probably legit shot but breed specific asshats can kiss my butt
u kill my dog though for any reason and i will probably get yours in time..i will always avenge my boy
I’m a dog lover, but this was absolutely unavoidable. The woman who owned the bullmastiff is the one responsible for the death of her own dog and the injury sustained by the greyhound.
People should NEVER own a dog they can’t control.
