You just cannot always trust these dogs. It is the breed, bloodlines and human contact over the dogs life. I have seen neighbors who had a really sweet female would not hurt a fly then she was bred to another pit bull some of the litter were like her and some were dangerous even the owner was scared.
I have dressed all three of my boxers in sweaters..they don't care..I like all animals but pit bulls keep having issues. They are a dog that should be handled by a competent and experienced dog owner..most people realize when thier dog is upset or acting strangely.I know way before if my dogs are going to attack. Mine though never have hurt anyone..just birds.
Love boxers 11:54 We had a boxer growing up in the 60's 70's and I was still a child. I used to dress him in clothes and put a "kerchief" tied on his head and he tolerated ever minute of it. I didn't leave that dog alone. I was always hanging on him and hugging him and he didn't mind at all.

ReplyDeletePitt bulls need to be outlawed they are just as trustworthy as Muslims!
ReplyDeletePit Bulls were raised by the Romans to kill
ReplyDelete....I would never own a Pit Bull, and tell others the same
Wait, the son's method of correcting the dog was to first pull a knife and stab the animal.
ReplyDeleteThis tells me a lot about how the animal was "trained" and treated.
Now, the dog will never trust a human again. He will have to be put down.
What a sorry shame.
They needed to glue its mouth shut then dress it up.
