Uhh.



From myspace like site:

I need to move unexpectedly and this gorgeous beast needs a new foster OR, even better, forever home. He has a heartbreaking story but is the sweetest, most chill, goofy creature. My heart is breaking to give him up. He’s awesome with kids, doesn’t need too much exercise, and is in training to be besties with other dogs.

Wtf, gorie, how aren't you stupid rich with your talent? Somebody on here has to know an agent or artist manager or something.

codesis, this is a dumb statement DUCY?

27, it doesn't matter what anyone here says about the situation anyway DUCY?

Well sure, but your statement is like telling a depressed person they just need to be happier.

THANKS why didn't they think of that!

Just on a practical note regarding those dogs muzzling them might be an option when you have to let them outside. Also not letting them loose but having them on a leash would help, although the big one looks very strong. I also wouldn't let them out at the same time, take them out separately. Possibly even get yourself some pepper spray, idk it's a horrible situation and I wish I was more help.

Legally YOUR dogs bit your friend and UPS guy. I can't tell you what to do with the dogs (I've never adopted ones that were already broken) but I can tell you what to do with the guy...

P.S. anyone that says you got bit for not acting like an alpha dog may be a moron.

This dude just checks off all of the squares on an irresponsible pitbull owner Bingo card, from "it's your fault they bit you" to "soooo big and cuddly!!!"

Well, I'm still not sure what is going to happen since I'm afraid to talk to him about it until he gets back. But, I am pretty sure he will decide to put the big dog down, or might even be required to. I might be stupid but I don't think the white one (the sharpei/terrier mix) would really be able to seriously injure someone (but wouldn't allow her around the children anymore), she is much smaller and not a "real pit" ? where as the larger dog is much more dangerous and ability to kill someone, even if he is a "cuddly buddy"...

Even though they both bit someone, I am much more comfortable with the white one and think she could be handled differently to prevent problems vs putting them both down, I don't really know. that will be his decision as they're not my dogs. But if he wants to keep them both I will have some serious things to figure out.

You would be mortified, but there are many owners who prefer to have dogs that terrorize the neighborhood. The overlap with pits and other mean dogs is pretty obvious.

I hope the UPS filed a police report and I hope the neighbors are calling in complaints. Animal control is slow bureaucracy, but enough complaints and something will happen.

The world is not a meritocracy.

Really have to disagree with this assessment. The small one did bite someone and in my experience with animals it's the quiet (and usually afraid) ones that are most likely to lash out. Aggression is often a defence mechanism, without it they go straight to attack. 2 bites in 2 days screams a little bit of blood lust going on as well. I'd be very wary right now.

Talked to 2 young guys about Pitts yesterday, they both disagreed with my assessment of them (dangerous and shouldn't be around kids), one guy had fostered a Pitt for 4 months and the other family has had one for 4 years. They now think I'm some sort of wuss. I don't really care about that but the fact that they won't even consider any other opinion is quite disconcerting but I guess standard for Pitt owners. I really think the sensitivity of these dogs gets in peoples heads, ironically it's also what makes them dangerous.

Edit: just saw your last post Gorie as I went to submit. Sorry don't mean to scare you. Keep safe.

The white one is definitely more skittish, and I would now label her an aggressive dog for sure, since she bit someone. I do think it was out of fear and not used to people being around (I just think now knowing that, it is something that could be worked on?). She used to bark at me a lot when I'd visit and she was in the seasons room. she barks a lot more than the other one. But I don't think she would "lock down" biting and someone could basically pick her up and move her or kick her away if they wanted to. She has a bad leg and gets limpy sometimes too. I just think extra precautions would need to be in place. but I don't view her the same as what the bigger dog is capable of, it's scary to think of him charging at someone who decides to walk down the wrong driveway or into the woods. I mean, the dogs have charged at me a few occasions when they were loose - both in the house and outside - before they got comfortable with me, it was definitely scary (and that is when there were 3 of them!!). I don't like either of them roaming loose outside. Of course I could be completely wrong about what the white one is capable of too, since I admit I am not the best judge on what dogs are capable of and never really wanted this responsibility.

also it was 2 bites over a week not 2 days (still really bad of course just clarifying) - i don't think they are blood thirsty - I think they are just scared and being territorial, and used to being stuck in a quiet house full of my anxiety, and I suck at controlling them and never should have let them in those situations to begin with.

I definitely think she is capable of biting me, and she loves me.

Is it even legal where you are to let them outside without being under your control? Where I live it is not yet people still do it and it's really frustrating and makes me very angry. At least I haven't seen this with a pit bull yet. There is a neighbor who has two big ones but they at least are the most disciplined dog walkers I've seen. Still...doesn't seem worth the risk given that if either one went completely haywire I'm not sure anyone could control it.

I'd recommend keeping them under control at all times. So that would mean a fence or leash (at least for the smaller one, who I assume one can control, although you may need to be big - no clue how big or strong you are) and for the other one it may not be possible even with a leash.

From what I understand, in our county it is legal to have them roam as long as they are on your property. He is renting a place has like 10 acres of woods, and part of why he moved out here was for the dogs. He did buy an electric fence just never put it up because he thought the dogs are good about staying in the yard (they do go out a little into the woods, but usually can see them). and they're always back at the door shortly after being let out. BUT that doesn't mean it is smart or safe to do.

The ground still has snow on it, so ground probably still frozen, I can't really put up the fence myself (but I would like him to when possible.)

That guy.

Pitbull attacks woman on subway w/ video

You can literally hear the POS owner already saying the woman attacked his dog first(lol) before he can even get the dog to release, which he couldn't.

Unreal. The lady was eerily calm through out the whole thing too. I don't even think she said anything. Why was the dog even out of the crate? Still blows my mind why anyone would want the responsibility of having a killing machine as a pet.

He also whips her shoe back at her after getting it out of dogs mouth. Guy needs a slap.

They don't. They want the douchebag status.

It's more like people with an undying need for love & power over something/someone but don't necessarily want a baby. That's too much extra responsibility.

That could be a lot of people who become a dog or pet owner. But to specifically want a killing machine...they don't give a **** about responsibility, they want to compensate for their tiny dicks/clits.

Do you mean that exclusively for pit owners or anyone that owns a GSD/Chow/Wolf mix/Mastiff? Have you tried asking?

Seems like it's actually the fault of mass media.

Pony probably slow on this one, but here's video of pit bull clamping onto a woman's foot on the NYC subway.



Lady is lucky dog went after her foot and not her calf/thigh.

Owner claims it was a "service animal". Of course.

Blu is gonna be traumatized for life. Any future acting out is on Petsmart.

Comments go about as you'd expect. A whole lot of "pits are no more dangerous than any other breed" and "LOOK AT THIS FACEEEE!!!!!"
