dog attacks

[senorita02]

Pitt chick, the Pittbull came aggresivively (sp?) running towards her dog(and her) with no owner in site (until the very end did he show up)

He opened mouth bit, growled, and basically tried to fight her dog for no reason, when she finally ran to somes strangers yard for safety with her dog the Pitt chased after them and stuck his face in between the fence still being aggresive, then the owner came around the corner and said she was in heat, with no apology or anything, she also lives in Detroit, so around here there are plenty of untrained unloved Pitts and strays of all sorts of breed, & no matter what the breed they will attack ur dogs, there have been a lot of reports on pack dogs just killing peoples dogs & cats around here, its quite sad, i also get kinda scared to walk my dogs in my neighbord hood for this reason, because it has happened to me too, but i have also encoutner stray lovable Pitts who i picked up in my car and brought to shelters. But that one was not aggresive just a love bug.

Pittchick, i forgot to mention, it was a Pitt bull, its actually my sister who posted this . She lives a few blocks away from me, and we love Pitts, so she knows what one looks like.

There has got to be another way shooting a dog is always the last resort and that is only if your life is threatened.

Why just a Pit Bull? You wouldn't shoot any other dog that was causing great bodily harm to you or your dog or do you think that only Pit Bulls are capable of such things. Nothing has even been said about what the Pit Bull actually did, if it was even a Pit Bull. I've heard many different versions of what people consider an attack: a dog nips it's an "attack", a dog jumps on someone it's an "attack", a dog looks at someone funny it's an "attack".

Check the first post of this thread: A Pit Bull attacking. We got to this point because of the material in the first post. Don't flame for the sake of flaming.

Thank you for the clarification Senorita. I understand being affraid to walk your dogs in your own neighborhood, we have strays AND we have to worry about people watching us with the intent of stealing our dogs. Now we take them to the school and walk on the track away from people and strays. My suggestion to Susie would be either find an enclosed track to walk on or carry mace. Save the shooting for the owners.

I have a 2 year old female German Shephard. The dog got loose from it's owner & ran towards us about a block away from it's home. This dog was actually attacking my dog. It bit her several times. It kept going for her butt. Luckily my dog only suffered 1 small cut.

pcarfan,

This is her second post, notice no mention of which dog did the attacking, that's what I was trying to get clarification on. I'm not flaming for the sake of flaming, your posts deserved it.
