My little brother was a dogbite magnet. He’d look sideways at dogs and try to sneak away. None of this was lost on the dogs. As an adult, he got bitchy with me because my dog was in his garden. I told him to shut up and watch the dog’s feet. Always placed in harmless areas. He said “I suppose dogs don’t bite, either. “ I said “Who told you that? Look in their mouths for God’s sake. “. The dog you reference is playing. Not the way you or I would, but it’s playing. Educate your kids. The one that ran would have been the next “toy,” if the dog were ‘t occupied. Again, an unsupervised dog was involved. It happens a lot. Was it a. Lack lab? I’m on the phone, so the image is small. Looks like a retriever after a toy.
The dog he referenced in the video was hunting and killing. Pits do that. There’s a court case where a child walked by a gate and 3 or 4 pits congregated on the other side as he walked by, they reached under the fence and grabbed his legs and pulled him under (small kid) and started by evicerating him (disembowled, it was hard on everyone in the court to watch that) before eating him.
I’ve watched plenty of pit video as they run up, no barking, tail wagging, head loose and bobbing, until they get their jaws latched on to a thigh or face and then they go for the kill. There’s a video of a pit running through a traffic intersection, tail wagging while he scans for his prey, he sees a small child and bounces right over her and seizes her and playfully begins to rip her apart. The bystanders were in shock. No warning. That’s the problem, pits don’t warn and people aren’t socialized to kill a dog wagging its tail on approach. That no-warn thing was bred into them - it made them lethal fighters among other dogs. So that cell phone image wasn’t large enough to show what the statistics prove - pits enjoy hunting people and other dogs, and pits enjoy ripping them apart.
