My dog, a Welsh Corgi, was attacked by a pit-bull a couple of months ago. I was taking him for a walk, and a pit-bull silently ran toward us from the right (I didn't see it) and it had my dog by the back of the neck and was vigorously shaking it. This was not a dog fight. This was an out of control killer attacking a smaller dog with no provocation whatsoever. It may have weighed no more than 70 lbs., but it was solid muscle. My kicks had no effect on it.
Fortunately, I was armed. I did not want to discharge my weapon in a residential neighborhood, but I was not going to let my dog die before my eyes about 6 houses from our house. So, I shot the pit-bull. Twice. It took two .38 rounds to get it to drop my dog. The pit-bull recovered from the shots (I hit it in the hip and shoulder; muscle only, and the shots were pass-throughs).
Your arrogant comments are worthless. Call us cowards if you like; but now, when I walk my dog, I try to keep my head on a 180 degree swivel in case another beast is silently stalking us during a neighborhood walk.
I am so glad that you were able to save your dog.
The idiots across the street to me just got a pit bull and I am scared out of my mind. They let it out in the front yard and then the family goes back into the house. No chain, no leash, no fence. I can’t go to my car or walk my dog when that land shark is out there.
