She wanted to eat him because he (along with the mailman) was brazen enough to walk up to “her” house uninvited.

Well, there is that kind of fixation reaction, too. :o)

After dark, if Prissy hears any noise outside, she growls like she is ten feet tall and a killer (she weighs 5 pounds). Really, it's sounds like she is going to kill whatever that is. She really goes into protection mode - no more kissy Prissy. I'll tell her, “It's okay” a few times and she stops the growl/bark.

Might as well have.

Staten Island Animal Control is a high kill shelter.

My little Dachshund was always excited to go through the drive-thru areas. He always got a treat from the bank teller. At the fast food window he always got a burger or ice cream. He couldn't contain his excitement at a drive-thru.

Gee whiz, free food! Bless his heart, he's got a food chain!

They called ESU for this?

Total madness !!!

Could be that, or an American Bulldog, or some sort of odd Boxer mix.

“Very friendly”... betting on a boxer/boxer mix... They are usually very friendly slobs... Trust me, I had a boxer, and he was very people oriented...

The thing that gets me is the 9 police cars and all the other emergency vehicles.

For a dog sitting peacefully on a bus, bothering nobody.

Here’s what I would do.

Get an animal control officer to walk up to the dog, give it a 10-cent dog treat, pet it, examine it for a tag, snap a collar on it, and take it into custody until the owner can be found.

And let the 9 cop cars and the other emergency vehicles and all of the various personnel associated with them actually deal with... crime? Genuinely dangerous situations?

Ya think?

[Jeff Winston]

You know, the good thing about this is that with all the publicity, maybe either the actual owner or someone who will adopt the dog can be found.

The only sensible approach but sense seems to be AWOL in the USA today.

THAT's not a pit bull mix.

Probably a Lab/Boxer cross or Lab/American Bulldog cross.
