Pit Bulls...yet another reason to Always Be Carrying.
Yep. That is one of the reasons I always carry when I leave he house, even if I am just checking the mail.
Exactly. I hired a fence company to come out and build a fence around my in-town property because my elderly neighbor’s son or grandson keeps pits in chicken wire coops or on short tethers on her property. The fence company owner was accompanied by his wife...who showed me the scars she had gotten when being attacked by pits while doing a fence estimate in a more rural area near hear. Her husband came out, wrestled the dog off her and then shot it dead.
There was a story on here a few days ago about a retired military dog that got loose and was shot while chasing a man on a bicycle.
Lots of people defended the dog and thought the biker over reacted. I wonder if they’ll show up on this thread?
If you love your dog, you keep it secure. If the dog gets shot or hurt, that’s your problem. The average person walking down the street doesn’t know *your* dog and it’s not their job to assume the best.
