WTF?
Another pit bull story by Chet 99. What a surprise.
While I understand that every person reacts to emergencies in different ways, from paralysis to taking action, this is egregious. Thank God for the neighbor and cellphones!
Do you ever think about anything besides dogs? Do you think you will change any minds? Do you have national statistics showing the rates of attacks/deaths by dog type?
and they didn’t have any airtime. well la ti da, so they’d have had to pay a lot for a minute or two.
How terrible. Sue them too, for felonious stupidity.
Or it may have been a monitor lizard or possibly a rabid manatee.
Well, gee; if the dog LOOKS like a pit-bull then there can be no doubt! It must BE a pit-bull!
Similar to what happened here in Atlanta several years ago. A woman's pit bull was attacking a child while the owner just stood there and watched. A neighbor went in his house and got a .357 and shot the dog. At that point the woman went into a frenzy and attacked the neighbor screaming "don't hurt my dog. Don't hurt my dog." So he shot her too. He was not charged. She was charged with assault
I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.
Looks like this took place in South Africa...?
Heh.
Or an acorn worker looking for their pie.
The dog lovers on this forum seem to like pit bulls more than they like children. As W. C. Fields once said, “This morning I saw a dog bite a child and the child kick the dog, which shows neither dogs nor children are as bad as I thought they were.”
It was probably a Golden Retriever.
Looks like this took place in South Africa...?

Yeah, everyone’s name is with the last seven letters of the alphabet.
It’s the canine monsters making the news, not Chet.
Do you have national statistics showing the rates of attacks/deaths by dog type?””
If he/she doesn’t stats are available from the American Vet Med Assoc (AVMA). Pits are by centuries of breeding, the worst offenders of serious, often lethal, attacks.
“.......attacks like this are rare.”
Yeah, but are they safe?
