If that stupid dog had snapped further and went for a full out attack, nobody could have stopped it. Why anyone would want one of these dysfunctional beasts is beyond me.
It’s long past time to crack down on this “service animal” nonsense. If you’re blind, you get a dog. For everything else? Buy a teddy bear.
The owner looked pissed at the girl. MUSTA been a “companion” animal. A weaponized companion.
I think it is a PBT type, but can’t be sure with no video (iPad). Of course, it has one of those stupid harnesses typical of vicious fighting dogs, or of stupid people who know nothing of discipline for dogs.
If you are ever involved in this situation, here is what you do. Take a belt, and use it as a noose. Slip it around the dogs neck and lift. The dog will let go when it chokes. Odds are it will try to attack the victim again once it catches it breath, so the owner then needs to take is dog away from the victim the moment it lets go of the victim.
Owner put dog on seat next to rider. Rider says, no and keeps pushing dog off seat. Owner starts hitting rider and dog joins in.

Pulling on the dog’s leash while it’s biting a woman’s foot seems like a poor strategy.
The way he threw that shoe... well, seems we know where the dog got its anger issues from.
No one with a phone called the police when they saw a dog? MYOB?
Yeah, it’s a PBT.
The victim is still low-class, though. Typical demo reaction - cuss and still get volatile despite a vicious dog that might come at you again. Can’t keep their mouths shut and garner some sympathy.
And it sounds like the owner (not master) is a foreigner, like a Russian or something? White guy, but not looking latino or anything like that.
I really hate pit bulls. I really do. They serve no useful purpose.
About 15 years ago, I was on an evening walk with my wife.
A pit bull in a yard about a block from my house came up behind me and locked onto the back of my calf, ripped my jeans and drew blood. I shoved my house keys into one of its eyes to get him off. The owner was really mad and threatened me for injuring his dog as I tried to remove him from my leg. I can still hear the dog’s owner screaming, “He’s a good dog and would never hurt anyone.”
PBT = PB with a press agent.
