I don't know if he was really given away or put down. I just know he just disappeared one day (after having been chained on the back porch for a few months) and never came back. I think either something happened in the time he was missing or the teenage grandson did something. The horrible person once tried hitting him with a chain leash because the dog would not attack our dog. Even after he turned that dog never tried to hurt our dog. The dog would often go to this boy's house, so if he wasn't put down he might be living with the boy on a permanent basis. I never asked. Was just happy he was no longer here. Now the dog at the house is a miniature chihuahua thing that is smaller than our little cat.

Good I would have been really upset if I lived next to that dog. I don't hate pits. I wouldn't have one because they aren't my kind of dog. I have bred akitas and dobermans and they have a bad reputation too. I am hearing about akitas biting children now quite a bit because I know many breeders. When I had my last daughter my husband got rid of ours . Sassy was in her cage when he walked by with the baby and Sassy went wild, we never had a problem with her and the baby. I think she didn't want my husband holding the baby. Each time he would pick her up and the dog was in cage or out she would growl. We couldn't keep her and she was co owned by my friend who took her. After that we didn't get a dog until my daughter was 4 yrs old and then it was a shih tzu. So far the 5 we own now are just wonderful with children and cats and I have heard horror stories about them too. I think owners need to be more informed before they go out and just buy that cute little puppy. People don't understand that some dogs are working dogs and need room etc. Chaining a dog in the backyard is no life for the dog. I blame the owners more then I do the dogs for bad behavior.
