No mention of helmet or speed.
We won the FR Daily Double. Bicycles and pit bulls in the same post. This should be good. ;0)
Bicycle riders are rude and entitled and always making their point.
The unleashed dog was said to be either a Lab or a Pit Bull.
Those are two very different looking breeds.
It would be hard to mistake one for the other, unless we’re talking about someone just making a wild guess.
My bet is it was a Pit Bull, because a large percentage of people who own that breed tend to casually disregard leash laws they don’t personally find convenient or pleasing.
“...a medium-sized blond Labrador or pit bull terrier.”
Confusion about that?
“My bet is it was a Pit Bull, because a large percentage of people who own that breed tend to casually disregard leash laws they don’t personally find convenient or pleasing.”
You’ve never hiked around Boulder. The owners are incredibly rude and privileged.
The problem here is the “journalist.”
At 76 years of age, I doubt Mr. Miller was aggressive, rude and entitled. He was probably going slowly and cautiously.
As the two most common breeds, it is not impossible to imagine a creature being half lab/half pit bull, and bearing some resemblance to both.
“While Durango police have not determined whether the dog or cyclist initiated the collision”. Maybe the dude liked to run over dogs on his bike and this time it killed him.
Feel sorry for the dog’s family.
I have a 1/4 Husky, 1/4 CBR, 1/4 Pit Bull, 1/8 [yellow] Lab and some other stuff.
She presents as a yellow Lab/Husky.
If it’s a bicyclist and a pitbull, kind a hard to know who to root for.
An unleashed dog is what is called negligence per se. These thoughtless dog owners are rude and entitled.
Of course, yeah, there are some careless bicyclists, but there’s no excuse for an unleashed pit bull or lab when it should be controlled, if leashed this old boy would still be alive.
Maybe. Or maybe the dog had a thing against bicyclists and saw this old dude as an easy mark.
“ You’ve never hiked around Boulder. The owners are incredibly rude and privileged.”
Durango is not Boulder.
Durango is like low-life central.
Being old is a risk.
Being old and riding a bike is a risk.
Being a loose dog around moving bikes is a risk.
Life is totally risky.
That’s how Insurance Companies make money. [Lieyawhers too.]
The reporter is too biased?
Some may never have been taught the fine line between
Reporting and providing a Personal Opinion.
Not the same at all.
The dog was described by witnesses as a medium-sized blond Labrador or pit bull terrier.
