dog encounter.

[Relentless]

It's not in my mind, in the media they are one in the same in perception, or to people that don't know any better. If you look at the number of incidents, they are extremely small relative to numbers, relative to reported numbers of ownership. JUST LIKE incidents with Black rifles. Yet people fear them the most. Healthy respect is one thing..... irrational fear is another. Just because a dog walks down the street, people fear them? I will also say there is no random attack, there is reason, the human is usually unaware of it or probably doesn't understand it, but there's a reason.

That's a broad statement, like there's a reason someone's cancer was cured without treatment or there's a reason that bird landed on that branch at exactly that point in time.

Notice there's another thread about a bull dog putting stitches in someone's hand.... nobody says a word. A pit bull gets loose, does nothing.... people have to express their irrational fears and tall tales from Barnsdall. Granted most people THINK they are dealing with a "pit" and they have no idea of the true breed anyways.

Never understood the irrational fear of certain dog breeds. In the 80-90s it was Rotts and Dobermans.

Ya'll are just as bad those that fear the "evil" black rifles.

Tall tale? I wish it was a tall tale. Any dog can snap. Most don't have the propensity to be able to take off part of your face. Do you know how the breed came about?

Went outside to see what my dog was barking at. Look over and hear neighbor tell me watch out their dog is loose and their trying to contain it. He comes just casually down the drive. A pit mix. I just calmly tell him to go home. Owner finally made it over very apologetic. Told him I wasn't afraid of their dog. My Dachshund was carried on like he was going to do something. Neighbors dog has visited before usually ran away before I get too close. I pet the guy (dozer).

Sounds like a close call, glad it wasn't worse!

some breeds are more likely to do harm to people than others - how many stories of Goldens or Collies attacking people have you heard.....how about Springer Spaniels

Actually, there's a significant amount..... again... it's just not blown up on the news..... see AR15 comparison earlier.

Okay, so I read the above all about how pit bulls got a bad rap and stuff, but I am still skeered shizzless of the dang things.

Okay. Puppies are one thing, but just try getting between them and their momma!

I am so glad I came across this thread to make me aware of the potential killer currently sleeping on my couch. I sure hope he doesn't have a bad dream that causes him to just snap and kill me in my sleep.





And someone had better warn this police department that their K9 may just snap......think of the children!!!!!
