Pit Bull Stolen From Animal Control

This makes my case for “attack reports” rather well.

A -lot- of people have no clue what kind of dog they’re looking at unless it’s an incredibly common, obvious or well known breed.

I’ve actually had people come up to me when one of my Ibizans is with me and ask [I kid you not] “Is that a *dog*?”.

My Portuguese Podengo Medio is usually referred to as “such a cute little Basenji mix”.

One guy at PetSmart asked what kind of dog Odin was.

Is there anybody on earth who doesn’t recognize a ~Dobermann~??

Ugh.

Lord, I pray that this little pup and his mistress are reunited and the perps brought to justice.

I think it’s terrible that the press has so hounded dog ownership. They can’t tell the difference and practice “OMG!” journalism. It sells. And the more they report that gangs have “pit bulls” the more wannabe’s get them. Or what they think are pit bulls.

[Salamander]

Don't look at me...I only have harmless goats.

;-]

[The 'shock sells' MSM should just run clips from "Faces Of Death" every night and be done with it.]

[DJ MacWoW]

Beautiful doggie! A friend has Greyhounds. They are large couch potatoes. :-)

[Salamander]

Drat.

The goat disguise didn’t fool ya?....LOL

Greyhounds are wonderful dogs.

They go run like mad for 10 minutes and spend the rest of the day crashed on your furniture...;D

[LongElegantLegs]

Looks like they corrected the breed.
I hope he’s recovered soon! I about fell over the other day when I saw a beautiful white bull terrier (owner-surrendered) at the pound...I thought, don’t they know that’s an $1,100 dog?

[Salamander]

“Bull terrier ~mix~”?!?

Arrrrgh!

Do I have inundate them with *more* bitching already?

It’s not a mix!!!

It’s ears just aren’t fully up, yet!

[please send me the white BT...I’ll pay shipping]....:)

[DJ MacWoW]

I love my friends greyhounds but I’m small and when they lean on me I need to be near a wall. LOL

[Salamander]

Aw...they just wanna luv ya to death....:)

[DJ MacWoW]

Hugging greyhound style. :-)

[Salamander]

That’s about the size of it....:)

It could be that the tenant, dog owner had been evicted and was supposed to have been out by that date. Showed up and the tenant wasn’t there, but the dog was. I could see a landlord taking the dog to the pound under those circumstances. Or if he received complaints from the neighbors that the dog wasn’t being cared for, outside all the time, they hadn’t seen it’s owner for days, etc.

[DJ MacWoW]

It could be but the story doesn't indicate that. It says: When the dog owner, identified as 30-year-old Angelique M. Allaire, returned home, she discovered the dog was missing. Her landlord informed her that he had taken Danger to the Animal Services drop-off site. When she went to the site the following morning, Animal Services had already reported the theft.

Click back to the article folks - an anonymous tip led to Danger’s recovery!

[Salamander]

HEY everybody!!!

GREAT news!

Danger has been FOUND!

[DJ MacWoW]

Now they need to find out “wth” that was all about.

[potlatch]

Thanks for the ping. Sadly the owner will be in trouble for breaking in to get the dog back.

Was looking at your Greyhound in the picture above, it’s huge!! I once had a Bedlington Terrier, they are small and furry but have the Greyhound body. Look like a lamb when clipped.

[ViLaLuz]

Yup, not a pit bull terrier.
