Wow, that's too bad that happened to you. I'm glad your dogs are ok. That's what's important in the end.

I have to admit that being lumped in with people living in section 8 housing is a little weird.

I live in a nice house, put up a 6 foot fence, train my dogs extensively and only ever have them out on leashes. They're licensed and vaccinated and micro-chipped.

It's unfortunate that pittys are attractive to the wrong element of society. I believe this the what causes many of the problems.

I've been bitten by several dogs and had a lab attack one of my dogs. I understand dog behavior enough to realise this is just how some dogs are. I don't hate labs now and would never try to segregate myself from them.

IMHO any dog that attacks a person unprovoked should be considered a dangerous dog and appropriate measures should be taken.

Again, I'm glad your dogs are ok.
