Tht's our baby Swiper, he's a pit bull/red heeler mix. When we first got him, he was a hard case. He'd never lived inside a house before, and threw 'pit fits' daily...His pupils would shrink to pinpoints and he'd race through our tiny house, knocking over furniture, kids, whatever was in the way. He ripped up carpet, toys, shoes, my arms...80 pounds of crazy.
Once we figured out what kind of lifestyle he needed, he calmed down and now I can't imagine life without him. He hasn't had a freak out in months, and he's wonderful to walk with. Never pulls, unless he's in harness.
Although I must say, if I had the resources, I'd have a mastiff like yours. He's beauuuuuutiful.

Why would anyone NOT want to adopt a dog or rescue one? No one told us, when we brought our dog home from the shelter, that he was part pit bull. We thought he was a retriever, it wasn't till he dropped all his fat that we figured it out. Although now I'm glad it worked out the way it did, I would never have brought a pit bull into a house with four kids. That's why people buy from breeders...so they know what they're getting.

Oh, well, thanks. :D I’ll never own another breed, and I’ll never get a dog from anywhere else than the place I got this one.
You sure do have a pretty baby; it looks like all your patience and training paid off. He’ll undoubtedly love you and protect you with his life.

That Google street view is pretty amazing. You can go to Cheyenne and MLK and see just what kind of neighborhood it is - look at every house and car. Look up and down the side streets etc. Pretty cool.
I was surprised. In the midwest, if it says MLK Blvd. you’re in the ghetto.

If one of my neighbors had vicious dogs running loose, I’d give the Animal Control guy three tries. Then it would be the old “Milk Bone soaked in antifreeze” for them.

"A dog, or a horse can sense fear. You are then less powerful to them. No fear, and the dog does not attack."
Attack horses in "dog whisperer" fantasies aside, the dog/breed that attacks and mauls/kills only because of fear in others needs to be exterminated and incinerated. If any meth zombie's pit walks into my path outside of his-her yard, I'll kill it with a sneer. I sense the fear of people who own killer dogs.
I recommend that all good people in rural areas get or build incinerators--good for getting rid of gut piles after slaughter and whatever vicious trash comes looking for trouble.

Saving dogs from pounds make them trash? I thought buying status dogs was trashy... what puppy mill dog do you own?
To: ColdWater
I rescued a half pit half chow. 8 years and his biggest problem is cats, motorcycles and small rat dogs.
He is also stubborn.
The other is a rescue lab. She is just fat and sweet.
To: radiohead
Damn. Aside from the bizarre idea of a dog coming thru plate glass, I have to wonder about dogs that do this to their owners! Another friend of ours had a pit bull that tried to jump his back yard fence to attack a neighbor. I say "had", because the dog impaled himself on the top of a fence stake and died. Our friends love these dogs, but I don't want one. I've gone on walks around the neighborhood with a neighbor and his pit bull. Obeys every command, sit, stay, come, etc., absolutely quiet never barks; most obedient dog I ever saw. But he always keeps the dog muzzled and on a leash. He knows something I don't know.

Sorry to be rude, LEL, this story got to me. Parents can really do stupid things sometimes, and I really dont think these dogs are safe around kids. Now if your cat wants to wander into our yard, thats a much different story, we are cat people here..

I understand, I really do. People like this, who own pit bulls without understanding what a hard breed is, make me sick. And then the people that come afterwards and try to explain it away and make excuses for the breed make it worse.
I just hope that if we bully fans start being honest, we can avoid mass breed specific legistlation.
I’d send my cat over, but she’s currently curled up in the dog dish taking a nap, while he sits there with a confused look on his face.

Prosecute the parents..
Murder 2.
To bad we can't lock 'em into one cell with that couple of San Francisco
lawyers whose dogs killed that lady in the hallway of their apartment block.

I almost surely goofed.
I suppose this is a case of some sort of negligent homicide.
Although I’d prefer Murder 2!!!

let me answer my own question..
A 4-month-old girl was fatally mauled by her family's two pit bulls Friday at their North Las Vegas home.

I own an adorable terrier mix dumped in my neighborhood because it wasn’t wanted. Not a pit bull bred by some crack head
