All pits are sweet...,until they aren't.

Yep, only dog I don't trust implicitly.

Damn Hawk that sucks. I hope Buddy heals up quick.

If the neighbor did not agree to get rid of the dog I would do whatever it took to give him a dirt nap especially if any kids live with you or nearby.

That's right.

My dad has two lab mix dogs that were rescue dogs. 2 big ole babies.

That pretty much sums it up for me, too. I'm not scared of them, and, by myself, would be unlikely to have any problem with one. That being said, I don't see how anyone can risk having children, especially small children, around them. A lot of dogs will bite, but very few will maul or kill. I also currently have ( I guess you say a grand-dog, it's my daughter's) a very protective female black lab. If someone tried to hurt one of us, I have no doubt that she'd clamp the chit out of them. But you sure as hell wouldn't hear about her killing or maiming them.

People with aggressive dogs need to keep them restrained. I don't blame you for being angry, but plan your response carefully . Best wishes for a speedy recovery. We had an ordeal with an arse of a neighbor with pits a few years ago and I eventually called the sheriff when it got to the point that I was going to get arrested for my response.

Bear spray, because you might need to dose the owner, too.

Good thing for the maggots they ate the infection

What I was thinking. Lots of lives saved by them during the war of Northern Aggression. miles

The mail carriers I know say that the spray will often fail to stop a pit bull.

Carry something 9mm or larger.

Somebody said the pit bulls are often great dogs.....until they're not.

Wise words.

And you never know when it will happen.

My shot is a claw hammer dead set on top of skull,with the claw

Use an axe.

Those skulls are thick enough that they've stopped bullets.

There needs to be a bounty on those SOBs.

Ok, so sorry about Buddy, really do hope he gest better.

#2 - I firmly believe that the dog's behavior is the result of the treatment (input) of the owner. to that end, and based on the little bit that I did read, if the authorities are not going to handle it, might be time for more drastic measures

reminds me of a guy I used to work with. he had some mutts but would not keep them in his yard, would not close the gate on his fenced yard, said they should be able to go free, yatta-yatta......

One day they got ahold of the neighbor's either small dog or a cat and tore it up good, and the cops came and warned him. He went out of town about a week later, and when he cam back, both dogs were GONE, just gone. Tried the animal shelter, the whole bit. he was working around the yard and found their collars a few days later..............

So......they were raptured?

Sounds like, yes, they were called to pit bull heaven. Or somewhere.

well, that is a bit blasphemous, so I would say no. I think more like lynched

not to go CSI on this, and don't know if it was possible but could they have checked his dog for your dog's dna or vise versa from the bite wounds?

Risk to benefit isnt worth it to me for pit bulls.....

Im partial to,these
