Augie Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I know people will defend the breed, maybe blame the owners, but I won’t even read the article. I would not want one within 100 miles of my family. I know, “they are so sweet”, but NO! They are too often time bombs. You just can’t hear the ticking. 5 5

But they're not ***** piranhas. Expand After I escaped from banking I got into a real estate appraising company for many years. Great deal, the happiest working years of my life. LOVED it! Over 13 years, seeing 2-6 properties a day, with almost half having dogs....I saw a LOT of dogs. One time a guy (a stinkin’ Dolphins fan!) asked me if I had to go into the sunroom. Well, there was a 90 pound dog lunging at the french doors trying to get OUT of the sunroom to “meet” me. He said, “oh, don’t worry about that one, there’s one behind the couch who won’t let you see him, but he would kill you if he could”. I managed to see the whole room without going in. The only damn dog that ever bit me belonged to a friend of my wife. High rise condo worth a million or so, and she has two schnauzers, yappy little things! My wife wanted me to help her figure out what she should sell for, so I’m not even getting paid. Damn thing jumps up and gets me on the thigh, not tearing my pants, but breaking the skin beneath! Took all I had not to punt that thing off the balcony! She just kept saying “stop!”. I could have fixed that! 2

plenzmd1 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Want to see a real attack dog? Talk poop on my pitty mix. 2
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 That is a sad story. thanks for the bummer story Gug

My son was bitten when we lived in Florida as he was walking on the sidewalk, maybe it was a lab, I forgot. Nothing major just a scratch, we did report it though.
teef Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 i've know a couple of pits that have been very sweat, but those dogs just make me nervous. that being said, i have a yellow lab, and labs are high on the list of dogs that bite...i do think that has a lot to do with how many people actually own the dog though. 1

Expand It does happen with lots of breeds. I'm sure there's an article out there about a beagle killing someone. My dog was attacked by a golden retriever. Do I think golden retrievers are killers? No. It happens exponentially more with pit bulls. There is not a close second.

Expand we have a family friend that was attacked by his pit. i don't know how old the dog was, but he did have it since it was a puppy. at the time his daughter was young, (6 or 7) and she wouldn't clean her room. in a dad fashion, this guy raised his voice for his daughter to do her chores, and it was enough to set the dog off. it attacked him and did quite a bit of damage to his arm...some permanent. he told my aunt that all he thought about was how his daughter was going to watch him die. he managed to get the dog in the bathroom and lock him in. no thanks.

Teddy KGB Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Pits are awesome. Let’s remember there’s 18 million of them and we cant write them all off over the actions of a handful. 5 1 1 1
