Such idiot dog owners are probably judgment proof.
Its more like people like you have no brain...and nothing to do with doggie of peace teeth...you are a typical....
They never will. Not as glamorous.
Neville the pit bull to retire from job as bomb sniffer for WSP
By Meg Coyle, King 5 News
March 25, 2010: SEATTLE Hes got a reputation, but hes not living up to it. And thats a good thing. Neville the pit bull is working the ferry lines at Seattles Coleman Dock.
He isnt supposed to be here. Neville was on death row in Canada until an escape worthy of a spy novel got him across the border and into the K-9 work force. Today he protects the people who almost failed him.
Hes the kind of dog who would take a bullet for you, said Nevilles handler, Trooper David Dixon. And there are people like me who had a bad idea of pit bulls in the past that may change their mind and love them because theyre great.
Hes so sweet. I love it when you pet him and he just smashes up against you. You feel the love, said Diana Cameron, who works at the espresso stand on the dock.
And after five years and 21 actual finds of weapons or explosives, Neville prepares to hang up his badge for good. He is scheduled to retire in September.
Neville was the first pit bull on explosives patrol for the Washington State Patrol. And hes helped pave the way for four others to follow in his footsteps.
WSP currently has five pit bulls working narcotics or explosives. But Trooper Dixon says its not so much about the breed as it is the sniffer and the disposition. Neville has a nose that knows and the temperament of a dedicated officer. Not to mention his success has helped booster the reputation of a breed known more to be fighters than crime fighters.
Trooper Dixon estimates that Neville does detection work on 150,000 vehicles a year. One dogs life was spared to benefit the lives of countless others.
Neville will remain with Trooper Dixon after his retirement.

I just think y’all are chicken...like liberals of guns... ‘fraid of dogs.... typical in todays society. We have grown weak as a nation because of cowardness.
And whatever they’re afraid of needs to be exterminated... ya know, for the “common good.” Sound familiar?
Hypocrisy stinks from miles away.
See post #36 in case you missed it.
You are smart to pick up your little dog when a pit bull comes near, especially if it’s (what I call a `yapper’) a terrier. Terriers are a doughty, aggressive breed, pound-for-pound, especially the Fox, Airedale and Bedlingtons, and Cairn/Scottie types, and the pit bull breed was bred to fight other dogs, while terriers were ratters.
I had an English bulldog and she was safe around other dogs, but my American bull will remain on a leash and harness until he’s socialized. They used this dog down south as it was brought over from England to fight, and maybe still do, while it was also a general use farm dog, and a good dog around people, even people it doesn’t know that well, unlike some smaller breeds.
(lecture over)
Oh boo hoo the little man/woman called me chicken, I will go home and get in the fetal position, you lame brain, pin headed idiot :O) have read other posts of yours and usually not worth responding to....but I do allow myself one mistake a day...responding to you is my mistake for today...You usually don’t fare too well with your posts...
That one is about the age of the little guy that had a pit bull rip of his testicles...sweet picture /s
I had a Cairn Terrier and he was a great dog. But he wasn’t afraid of anything. He was also friendly.
You have to feed your dogs.
So much for civility.
Are your testicles up for my dogs dinner.a 7 month old baby boy is no joke...

My folks had a male Cairn. A trespassing German Shepherd nearly killed him but he defended his territory bravely. He had to walk around for quite a while with an `Elizabethan collar’ bumping into furniture, door frames—it really hurt his dignity.
He was fearless, or as the Scots might put it: “doughty”. Most terriers and any given pit bull are not good company.
PS He was a great personality too, I still miss him, many years later.
