As one who has posted things before against the breed... let me be the first to say: Good boy.

See, even though it turned out ok this time, the owner was open to the possibility that a friendly pit bull can turn on a person without warning:

“Hemby said he thought the pit had turned on him...”

Ping. Out of the thousands of articles posted, a few ‘good pit bull’ stories are bound to occur.

Because he obviously didn’t know his dog very well. Most people in-tune with their dogs can tell their dog is acting strange and trying to tell them something, and know to pay attention. This lucky guy almost killed the dog who was trying to alert him to danger.

To the OP, thanks for posting this story.

And because he believed the media line that pitbulls have some kind of demonic predeliction towards ‘just snapping’, he nearly attacked the dog (who was trying to save him) with a shovel. Wouldn’t that have been hilarious.

The media has very little to do with innate inbred characteristics of the breed.

The media has a lot to do with reporting dog attacks in a very formulaic, irrational manner.

The breed exists and was bred for violence. The term ‘pit’ in it's name wasn't placed there by some dog hater. It was colloquialized for the sale of aggressive pups.

Right. Like no other dogs ever attack people.

I get sick of vicious dogs being called “pit bulls” when they are clearly another breed. Lazy reporting.

Breed was not bred for violence.

Idiot peole made some of the offspring bad.

Most of these animals are great family pets.
