I’m a cyclist so I frequently cross paths with dogs. For my own safety, I assume every dog I see is dangerous, especially in a post-COVID world where so many people got COVID dogs because they were bored.
The amount of irresponsible owners out there… I’m at a less for words. People struggle to control dogs so small they can fit in a pocket, I have zero faith they would invest the time needed to train something like a pit bull or other high-maintenance dog.
Thankfully I haven’t been attacked by one yet. The last dog that jumped me on my bike was a golden lab. Unleashed in a leash-only area, of course.
My partner is physician and all dog mailings have been pitbulls. Not saying it’s inherent since their owners tend to be a but ghetto, but certainly doesn’t help their cause
Yeah I call bullshit. Lived in a commune for 5 years where my friend grew up. There were more than a dozen putbulls growing up alongside loads of kids, babies, adults. In 25 years, there hasn’t been a single attack. It’s not because you don’t understand the breed, how to raise and train them that it’s the breed’s fault. Yes they have some aggresivity in them, but trained properly and they will be able to channel it through stimulating activities.
