Unbelievably stupid thing to do. Has she never heard the expression “In your face” ?
Of course the dog interpreted it as aggressive behavior.

True, but little people probably won’t bite your upper lip off if you do...;-)

Not any dog that is allowed to stay alive in my house.

I just wish the owner had given this woman some warning/advice when he saw her get on the ground and right up in the dog’s face. It’s a shame.. Hard lesson to learn.

The dog is NOT a mastiff nor is there any EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL pitbull there: It's a Dogo Argentino, a large GUARD dog originally from the Canary Islands.
Then again, the knee-jerk reaction seems to be that if a dog LOOKS like it MIGHT be slightly aggressive or threatening to the weak, IT'S A PITBULL!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

The Dogo and the Presa Canario are two different dog breeds. the former was bred to hunt and guard, the latter was bred as a fighting dog.
Dogos were developed by an Argentine doctor. The Presa Canario was “re-bred” largely through the efforts of a veterinarian named Carl Semenak [p/s], if I recall correctly.

Yes, I recognized my mistake about 11 seconds AFTER I posted it. D’OH!
The Presa is another gorgeous dog, too.

I am not afraid of Pit Bulls, I once owned one, who I named Bruno don Carlioni. He was a family pet for our family, which included 5 children.
Just so you know..............

The Canary Islands were named for those dogs [or, at least, the original Presas].
