Somebody couldn't keep their Dobies contained and they would harras excercisers and other pedestrians, somebody got bite and now everybody is carrying "walking sticks" They were really concerned when I showed up with my puppies. I got one phone call about my dog(s). The nieghbor said "Erika" was loose. I ran to the back yard and all mine were there. There is only ONE person in the neighborhood with a dog that resembles mine and he is a K9 officer. He denied his dual purpose dog getting loose. sure... everybody has a sable DDR/Czech 'round here.

Webboard User Webboard User Reg: 06-12-2009 Posts: 142 Loc: Offline	These news stories disturb me on so many levels. First, I applaud the gun owner for being responsible and protecting himself and his dog. I don't care what the "turd" (good word btw) with the facial punctures thinks his dogs were doing. Most people are complete idiots. I have also encountered "scary" dogs racing up to my on-leash pup (and then later, dog). The ones I have encountered, including two rottweilers, ran away shaking after just a little verbal abuse and correct body language. If they hadn't, out would come the pepper spray, and then the gun. PERIOD. I will not stand by and let some wild beast harm me or my dog. I consider it my duty as a dog owner (and really, a person) who could be in harm's way at any time because of some random sh*thead, to be prepared to defend in the most serious way. I would love a pitbull that I own, but I have reason to find any other pitbull (any dog, really, but pits are strong) suspect because I don't trust other people.

Brad Higgs Webboard User Reg: 06-13-2010 Posts: 511 Loc: Western Australia Offline	Idiots like that is what gives pits a bad rap, maybe shoulda put one in him? but saying that guys life's in danger in a dog fight just seems to me to be a little bit of a stretch. Dog in danger yes, guy doubt it unless he puts his hands in the middle and like others have said, 3 savage pitbulls and there hardly seems any damage to the other dog how bad could they have been?? Need to start licensing owners and not dogs!

Kelly Byrd Webboard User Reg: 07-28-2010 Posts: 2249 Loc: Tacoma, WA Offline	I've seen nearly the same situation play out at our nearby park, with a large staffy, (Ok, he was HUGE) and a GSD mix. Only difference was a 8'' blade was pulled, and close to the fight before an off duty officer arrived with his CC weapon. Luckily no shots were fired, and no dogs slashed. (owner was able to pry off the staffy, somehow. Several people were -stupidly- kicking the dog in the guts, head, etc) I would have preferred to see a gun in well trained hands ANY DAY over a knife like that in a public park with children present. That day, my whole family was there. My 6yr old saw that fight before I got Richard to take him far far away while I supervised from a distance, waiting to see if a dog, or person would need medical assistance once things calmed down. Off leash dogs are dangerous. Period. Dog parks, public parks, sidewalks. It's scary, the utter lack of control that most dogs live under.
