"Ray was one of the former Michael Vick dogs — a Vicktory dog, as this troupe is known.
And like so many of the dogs rescued out of the horrific Bad Newz Kennels in 2007, Ray went from the worst kind of cruelty to the sort of bliss only known to spoiled dogs who get to sleep in their indulgent humans’ beds.
Ray died last weekend, after surgery to have his spleen removed."...

See my tagline. It’s true.
You’re welcome.
I know what’s it’s like to have shared many years with a wonderful dog and then have to let him go.
Leaves a big hole in your heart.
Most dogs are not trained. An untrained dog is a miserable dog. And it’s owner is miserable as well.
Contain, Control, Maintain, Train and Socialize
For what it’s worth, every one of the links in that posted article leads to a casino advertisement.......
It’s always fun until someone gets their face chewed off... which happens with alarming frequency. This summer seems particularly bad. How
Many have we read about, killed or maimed by these dogs, about 10 in the last 12 weeks or so?
You three dear hearts are welcome to go to a norski Chet 99 thread
And spew your fear and loathing about pit bulls
Till the cows come come home
Have fun
Bye
This is horrible. It's no business of the state to stick its nose into local matters.
Niece has a rescue pit bull......Had my reservations at first but it’s turned out to be a really loving dog for her and her son...and the rest of the family when she brings it over to her parents house......
yeah I know...sucks...the domain must have been picked up by them.
I’m going through the FB page and any other sources I can find for photos and such.
Just like you are free to stay off Norski’s threads.
I find it very telling how little tolerance some people (pit defenders) have for opinion different from their own. I’ve noticed that pit bull owners tend to be as aggressive and nasty as the dogs they defend.
Those opposed to the breed focus on the breed and those who defend it have a strong tendency to be nasty to PEOPLE who oppose it.
World of difference there.
I’m glad Ray had a good life-finally-lucky dog-and thank you for posting a positive bully breed dog story-nice to see with all the hysterical pitbulls-are-satanic-kill-them-all-and have their owners hanged on the spot as well articles. There are two sides to every coin-and every animal. In a remote area like this there are mountain lions, 300+ lb wild hogs, packs of coyotes-and now, black bears, too-all can be dangerous and deadly to pets and humans. Plenty of big, bad guarding breed dogs here, too from Mastiffs, Danes (also on the bad doggie list),Chows and German Shepherds to American Bulldogs and Pit Bull Terriers. No dog attacks, no wild animal attacks-the only animal attack deaths in years were brought about by livestock-in one case a Llama was the assassin of its owner-in the other two, it was their Donkey...
I would not personally own a Llama or a Donkey-but that is just me-I prefer a horse’s temperament to either of those...
The restraining device that dog has around it’s neck tells me all I need to know about the breed.
Or maybe it’s just the doggie version of dog gay pride?
Everyone on FR is free to go and post where they wish.
Let’s see how you feel once that dog maims or kills someone. Especially if no one is sitting there with a 9 mm ready for it.
I love dogs. I have a wonderful dog I adore.
Any dog can attack.
However, the pit bulls were bred to attack. Their jaws ...if they attack..are unlike any other dog. Florida is known for breeding them to become what they are today...the genetic predisposition to attack and genetically bred jaws to be especially lethal.
Because for me personally it’s free Republic wolf pack behavior like Howlin and Siinkspur and their little gang used to pull around here
Non stop daily pit bull hate threads that go mad hominem on detractors immediately from folks who all the know about dogs beyond foo foo lap dogs is the sensationalism they read
Many here want a world where anything possibly unsafe is banned and everyone jailed
Like statists
Chetnorski posts nothing about other dog attacks which are significant
Pit bull attacks are more common because they are more common
I live in a rural area on acreage
My dogs aren’t your business or anyone else’s unless they start killing calves
I’ve owned over a dozen dogs from shepherds to Rotts to pits to hog hunting bulldogs to Dobies to giant schnauzer to duck dogs and treeing hounds and one Catahoula
Only one ..a bulldog ever bit anyone didn’t have it coming
We’re not all cat ladies or teacup people
And I have cats too and horses
And. Like chihuahuas and frenchies
