Poor little man. That's a terrible situation to be in. Unfortunately animal aggression is a trait in Pit Bulls, but that doesn't make them vicious, especially not towards people. When something like this happens it's hard not to take it personally and have hard feelings towards the dog, but it wasn't Freesia's fault. And you are a great person for not having hard feelings towards Freesia or demanding that she be euthanized. Where were her owners at the time? They are to blame for not supervising their dog; it's owners like that who give responsible Pit Bull owners and their dogs a bad rep.
Her owners were great with her, that's what was so weird. The whole thing was just so odd. I don't know what happened. It was a married couple or boyfriend and girlfriend, I can't remember. But, yeah, if she'd attacked me, I'd have deemed her vicious and would have certainly pressed charges. But, the girl was walking her, and, had dropped her leash to let her run. She was behind the building, where it was really open and I guess she'd been doing that since Freesia was a puppy. But, Freesia went around the building, and grabbed Bruno. The girl came running around the corner shortly afterwards. I was already beating her dog, though, and, screaming like a devil. Another guy had come up with his two labs, and, told my husband later, "I hope I don't ever get on her bad side", meaning me. There were people two buildings over that heard me swearing like a sailor and yelling. Freesia had a bloody face and my hand was swollen for a couple of days. I just wanted her to drop Bruno, I really thought she was going to kill him.
