That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read! Its' a stupid law, but if it applies to one dog, it should apply to all! I'm so tired of all this breed bashing, size bashing, etc. If people would stop creating these pointless laws, maybe we could deal with the real problem : irresponsible owners and irresponsible breeding. Big dogs are not the problem. Pit Bulls are not the problem. People are the problem.

Despite my dogs' socialible dispositions, I have experienced some of this displaced fear. Addie is part pit bull, and Jake is just huge. I have had people grab their children in terror , lots of rude looks and stupid comments, and I was even asked not to walk my leashed dogs in the complex next door. Supposedly, my dogs were scaring people with small dogs. We never got anywhere near another dog, so I'm not sure how the mere presence of my dogs was such a threat. Neither Jake nor Addie, did so much as bark or pull. We didn't even leave any "gifts" for them in the grass.

I really wish that people would become more educated on the topic before they started punishing innocent owners and their dogs. There are always uncertainties in life. We can't live in padded cells afraid to live. Muzzling dogs is just a way to mislead people so that they feel safe. My bet is that the responsible owners will muzzle their dogs, while the irresponsible ones will not. Sigh . . .
