The parents aren’t all that smart.
Supposedly only 5% of people bother to train their dogs even to the bare minimum of sit, stay, no, come.
I have never been around a well trained tiny dog. I think most folks don’t bother or maybe they have tiny brains and can’t be trained and it is no big deal, besides making the dog and everyone around it miserable. A toy poodle isn’t taking someone’s face.

I worked as a volunteer at the ASPCA. You do see a lot of pit bulls as well as other short-hair terriers. Also very, very active dogs like Labs. Also, a lot of pit bull mixes.
People seem drawn to the pit bull and then dump them. People need to educate themselves before buying or adopting.
I remember our niece getting bit by the Irish Setter pup, that was near adult sized, but still with needle sharp teeth.
Injured severely enough, to require sutures.
I have been bit many times, by dogs of all breeds, often pups just playing.
I never take for granted that an animal wouldn’t bite me.
Yes, I did just realize this also. And I had not noticed this aspect so blatantly before, but I am now looking for it and seeing it in other articles and newsvids. I will be going down the list of daily dog article links on the website https://www.nationalpitbullvictimawareness.org/ to see which ones are more likely to omit the dog breed in news stories.
One of my favorite albums.
The band might object to that....
Interesting. I wonder - By any chance, has your friend changed her mind on anything here after the bite? And if not, do you now see her differently?

How to get the dog to release:
Wrap your arm around the dog’s neck tightly.
With the other hand, squeeze the dog’s nose shut completely and tightly and hold on as long as it takes for the dog to release.
Don’t let the dog go until you have help, or the dog loses consiousness.

Plus, he hated this kind of work because most people should be able to do it themselves. He'd make an exception only for little old ladies who were putting down a beloved pet which was terminally ill and suffering.
Yes, he loved children more.
“I never take for granted that an animal wouldn’t bite me.”
Nor do I.
All dogs can bite.
The humane society is adopting out dogs without vaccinations and an observation period? Someone needs to be in jail, and everyone there fired if that is the case.
“The dog had been in the human (sic) society for more than two months prior to being adopted.”
“The dog is in quarantine for 10 days to be checked for rabies at the Caldwell County Animal Shelter.”
If it has rabies, it had to have been exposed while at the humane society. And if they didn’t vaccinate it when it came in to the facility, they are criminally reckless.
My daughter was walking on the sidewalk en route to school when she passed a golden retriever lounging on the lawn beside the walk. As she passed, the retriever bit her leg. Barely broke the skin and the owner was all, “She’s never done anything like that before,” and we let it drop but asked that the dog either be leashed in the front yard or kept in the fenced backyard. We never saw the dog in the front yard again.
The writer of the article showed his typical dishonesty by hiding the fact that the dog is a pit bull. Our society is infested with drug addled criminal minds.
Put all of those criminal minds through the system and tag them. That will help to keep them from victimizing even more innocent people who would otherwise be defenseless.
I do not know - and have not heard - of this approach for pit bulls. Their necks are so thickly muscled, and they are bred to be - and are - so strong and fast, that I believe it would have to be a very unusually strong person to be able to do this without the dog being able to turn on the rescuer and go for the head or neck.

Its routine proceedure, and works well.

Dog needs to be put down immediately. Had it been my dad's dog, (he loved shepherds) it would already be dead.........
“Yes, he loved children more.”
Your point is so incredibly important here.
This is what I keep trying to keep in mind as I post these items, because it’s at the core of the subject. These dogs have been bred from the beginning to fight in pits, to the death, as illegal, barbaric “entertainment”, for huge sums of money. They are horribly treated in these situations, and their excess dogs are dumped on well-meaning but softheaded people who believe that they can be “rehabilitated” and placed as household pets. They cannot.
I am asking for possible solutions to this huge and growing problem.
I would suggest that they get a calico cat. I’ve never met one who wasn’t well-behaved.
