I used to get that load of b.s. all the time from my neighbor who owned pit bulls. She was always telling me what wonderfully gentle dogs they were and how my threat to shoot them if they ever got through the fence and into my yard again was completely unreasonable. Then about a month ago one of her “loving and gentle” dogs, that she’d had for years, decided to try to take her right arm off, and the others joined in.
She’s out of the hospital now, and the dogs are gone. Imagine that.
Good story.
Nothing like getting smacked upside the head with reality to make some people listen.
great story
Play with fire and you will get burned
Yup. I had a friend in Jackson, MS, who had a beautiful pit bull. “So gentle, and sweet.” He would not EVER, however, allow his daughter, aged 6 at the time, around the dog. The dog got out of the fence one morning and we all searched until the wee hours of the morning for the dog because he was scared almost to death that the sweet thang would get hold of someone.
Got to say, though, I love animals and don’t know that I would put them to death. Might be they all be fixed and no more breeding until they’re gone, though.
