According to Pacific Grove residents, Lynn Rip Van Winkle Open Space is known as the "perfect" place to bring your pet, but owners are shaken after learning about a deadly dog attack, Tuesday morning.

So the other dog owners are worried that this might affect the rules that allow them to walk their dogs unleashed. And it is all because of the dog of love and peace. The owner has not been charged.

pit bulls...they can be sweet but are not to be trusted, esp. around children.

“Pitbull attacks my dog and it will be a dead pitbull.”

Yep.

Animals are animals. Take a female in heat to a dog part and watch the action. Have a strange dog come to you with your best friend and watch the action. The reason I don’t do dog parks is there’s no end to what pisses them off sometimes. The have a park not far from me fenced for small dogs then separate for big dogs. I carry and I ain’t getting involved with crap at that place period.

[Thud]

Have they demanded that knives be banned yet?

[Lurker]

We own a toy breed and avoid the local dog parks for the same reason even though they have an defined area for them. Too many idiots who can’t control their animals.

The park is a marked no guns area so we simply don’t go. Although if we did I’d ignore their stupid little sign. Concealed means concealed after all.

One down, many more to go. Death sentence to all pit bulls.

The ending could have been considerably worse:

Truely. if you can exercise you pet else where I think that’s smart. I live in an area on six acres and it isn’t a factor with me. I understand everybody doesn’t have that luxury. My sister walks her dogs around a lake near her on a path, on leashes. Others there do the same but her’s are shelties not tigers so she’s careful. Most of the people she meets are smart and their dogs are on a leash. Dog parks are not my favorite and there are a lot of people that aren’t as smart as their dogs. IMO

Stab the owners not the dogs!

Everyone knows it the owners.

A hugely disproportionate amount of low lifes are attracted to pit bulls.

[Undecided 2012]

the owner has got to know if to bring their dog there. I have 2 dogs outback that never ever met another dog. I’m not stupid enough to know they wouldn’t attack if there. Hell, I wouldn’t even be fool enough to ask any of you to go out there and tell them “hello”. They’d probably tear your head off.

[Equine1952]

If you took me to your back yard in a friendly fashion they would probably be fine. If I crawled over your back fence you there or not, I’d probably be in trouble. Not a bad thing, it’s why we have them. Situational awareness is good thing. Leran it, live it, love it. The dog is as good as the owner, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I would never take my Rottweilers or American bulldogs or Dogos or Pits or Kangols etc etc to a dogpark

Stupid owner

I drive by them with my Rottweilers or my fierce American bulldog and I’m like not for you buddy....not worth the risk

People like golden sunshine insurance commercial dogs and admittedly have a right to go to a dog park unmolested by a dog aggressive dog

Disclosure....my favorite dog at my house now is this old girl :

harris bank atm near me

she adores me ...what can i say...she rides in the Hemi shotgun or in my life looking out the drivers window....first little dog I ever liked.....my homepage has my historical dogs lol

[DeathBeforeDishonor1]

I dont know who I despise more..pitbulls or their owners. I wouldnt even hesitate to kill that dog.

He killed his own dog

Rover roulette, taking your dog to a dog park that allows off-leash pitbulls.

[9YearLurker]

By the wording of the article, is was the victim dog’s owner that did the stabbing, no?

[gimme1ibertee]

He killed his own dog.

From the article: the owner of the dog under attack pulled out a knife and stabbed the pitbull to death.
