Police Respond To Vicious Dog Report… And This Happened
On a normal afternoon in Baltimore, a police officer received a call regarding a “vicious dog.” When he and his partner arrived on scene to take care of the situation, he did NOT expect to see this: a small, affectionate pit bull. The dog was panting hard from the heat and crawled over to the officer and began licking his pants. There was nothing vicious about him. More
So happy for.this dog cause it ppl like.the comment above that give pit bulls a bad name. I have one an he loves all ppl other dog an kid. He is the best dog I have ever owned.
I agree with 143. I've had beagles and Labradors, a mutt and a springer spaniel. Then I met my daughter's boyfriend's pit bulls. What a bunch of loving sweet bunch of licks and snuggles! Fantastic dogs!
@11:51, I guess you believe everything you see on the news, huh? Probably never even met a pit in person, these dogs are smarter then a lab but every bit affectionate.
You can clearly tell 11:51 gets educated strictly by the news. Not a conscious thinker. They're probably still paranoid about SARS, mad cow and killer African bees.
Of course there are nice pit bulls. What you can't get away from though is a dog's (any dog's) inherent traits or instincts. Pit Bulls have a high prey drive as do all terriers who were bred to hunt down prey and kill. Of course a Pill Bull being larger and more powerful than most terriers can and will inflict more serious damage then say a Jack Russell so that is why they are more dangerous and we hear more horror stories attached to them.
I have an Anatolian on my farm. They are of the working class and are live stock guardians. They rarely chase anything unless they see it as a threat to their flock. Deer walk by all day as do mallards and Canada geese. Dog just lies there. He will even take abuse from the geese. Cats abuse him also and he tolerates it. Fawns are everywhere, some coming within 40ft of him and he completely ignores them. Now a fox or a raccoon or a neighborhood dog comes nearby (even across the field) and he will bark and bark until the animal leaves. If it doesn't he will give chase but abruptly stops when the varmint runs away and immediately returns home. He sees and instinctively knows these animals could and given the opportunity will be a threat to his flock he instinctively is guarding. I didn't have to teach him this as it comes naturally. As puppies you can't even hardly get these breeds of dogs to chase a ball or a toy so low is the chase/prey drive/hunt instinct. What is a fact, is that a dog's instincts are harder to break and most often can not be broken and there is always the potential no matter the training for the instinct to override the training. That's the way nature works. It's something no one can change.
Whoever called that one in was smart. If you call animal control for a neglected do they may show up a week later. Calling it in as a threat kept the dog alive and the officer had a huge heart. Alls well that ends well.
Pit Bulls are like all dogs, some are good some are bad. It depends a lot on the owners, bad owner-bad dog, good owner-good dog. I have a friend with a pit bull, it is very loving and tame, but then I've seen thugs walking down the street with their a$$ hanging out and a viscious acting pit bull on the end of a rope.
One out of a million. So what?

ReplyDeleteThere are nice ones, and bad ones. I'm not going to let them get close enough to find out.
ReplyDeleteGOD bless the officer for giving the poor dog cold water to drink, and protection from abusive owners!
