Good that your dog followed command. That is not the situation in a mauling though. In those situations, commands go unheeded. The owners invariably say, I don’t understand, my pitbull would not listen to my commands. Time bombs do not listen to commands when they go off.
Glad you are safe and the person did not prevail in court. Terrible how messed up things are that a burglar can even get a court date over something like that.
You could be absolutely right, but I have looked around a little and am having a hard time finding instances of a verifiably trained pit snapping and mauling owners. It seems like untrained dogs who are ‘always sweet and gentle’ mostly as far as I can find, and any sort of training or its lack isn’t mentioned.
