Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Poor Misunderstood Pit Bulls

I'm more than a little perturbed. A few days ago, my yellow lab, Buddy, made the mistake of turning his azz on one of the neighbor's pit bulls. You have to understand that Buddy is the most laid-back, mellow, easy to get along with dog I have ever met. One of the neighbor's pits got loose, and went after one of our little dogs, so Buddy ran him off him. That done, he turned to come back home, and here's what that poor, little, misunderstood pit bull did to him.


He's begging me not to show anybody.......


Nice, huh?

Hope he recovers ok. That looks like a good sized vet bill. Is your neighbor gonna pay it?

There ought to be a law...

I just might be feeding that pit bull a little antifreeze if the authorities do nothing.

I hope buddy heals quickly.

Hope that pit took a couple 165gr HP's for the trouble!

Neighbor wouldn't have a pit bull after that.

Hope your pup recovers well.

You need to flush the inside of those wounds with either betadine or chlorhexidine and get buddy to a DVM first thing in the morning. Don't wait. If you do not have a syringe (without needle) get one at a pharmacy

Luckily, they only charged me $100, since there's not much they could do to it, other than clean it, and give us some antibiotics & spray to keep it clean. Bad thing is, when it happened, he didn't bleed much, and his hair is so thick that I didn't think there was much there. A couple of days later, the hair started falling out, and we noticed frickin maggots
I spent 2 hours picking them all out, and took him to the vet 1st thing the next morning. The neighbor is white trash, and claims HIS dog couldn't have done it. The way I see it, since it's not his dog, he won't have any complaints when I shoot the sumbitch next time I catch him on our side of the hill.

Made the decision long ago...if I ever have to pull a pit bull off of one of my dogs, it'll be easy, cause he will be limp and cooling at the time....

When he comes back close to the house, and he will, I prefer one 325 grain FTX out of my 45-70............

I have one with his name on it.

Roger that!

I hope your dog recoupes fast & good I hate to see that & hear this. I comend you for being civilized ,I do not think I could.

Problem is it was early, and they were down in front of my mom's house, so I didn't get a chance to get near them before it was over, and he was gone.

Oh, it's not that I'm "civilized", just patient. I WILL get my shot at him........

sorry about Buddy.

never understood why folks keep pit bulls, esp if small children are around.

Never here about a beagle killing anyone.

Well, thats good and bad. Good he was gone and that he released your dog, they often don't. I even carry pepper spray on my walks with my dog because of people and their frigging pit bulls....

haters gonna hate.

Nope, or yellow labs, either..........

But, sure enough, the pit bull defenders will be along shortly..........

I've been around pits for many years. Never had a bad one. Won't trust a child around one though. Ya just never know.......

Sam, Im the same way. Ive said it before but every pit I ever worked with or was around was a very nice, sweet dog. That said, I never entered an enclosure with one that I wasn't prepared to kill.
