I am so mad right now.My dog(pitbull) just jumped out of his fenced area and i didnt notice until the cops showed up at my house and told me that someone had called and said they were being attacked by him. I told the cop to go check on the lady to see if it was true.He didnt go and see if she was hurt.Obviously they thought he was aggressive just for being a pit bull. He didnt even hurt anyone .They said if he got out again they would take him to the pound and i had to pay a fee of $150.There are many other dogs in my neighborhood who are free to wander wherever they want and the cop says nothing to owners of those dogs.Just when i was running after my dog trying to catch him i saw my neighbors border collie out on the loose and the cops were just leaving my house they passed right by and "didnt notice". They then asked me if i needed help catching my dog. I said you know what ?I got a question for you .Why didnt you tell the owner of that dog anything?

He then said because pit bulls are mean and that he had never heard of border collies attacking people.I was like what the hell ,MY DOG DID NOTHING AND YOU ARE TELLING ME PITT BULLS ARE MEAN.!! I just wanted to punch the cop and the person who called the cops .I know who called .It was my neighbor she has never liked our family and our dogs.Last year she poisoned on of my dalmations because she thought we killled her dog ,because it was dead on our yard.So she put rat poison in my dogs food and she died. I hate people who give pit bulls a bad reputation.GRRrrrrrrrrr. im soooooooooo mad!!

Im sorry to hear that but everyone who ownes a pitbull should know that they are going to be discriminated against. As someone else said pitbulls are the dogs you HEAR about attacking the most. What he didnt say was that you hear about them the most because they are the ones that the media focuses on. Hey I'm pretty sure you see more black people on COPS too. Speaking of...police are just scared of everthing. They have no mind of their own and love to hate whatever they think has a chance of hurting them. If they are not willing to protect the freedoms of America they shouldnt sign up, but most of them see a chance to make big bucks with little brains. Anyway Toy breeds actually bite the most, but they are so small that it doesn't get reported and no real damage is done. It doesn't matter because when it comes down to it you have more of a responsibility than other dog owners because you have a pitbull. If you really love your dog and the breed then you need to take extra care to make sure that your dog doesn't do anything that could further the bad name of the breed.

Ok so what is your question? Pit bulls have a bad rap, but then again is it not something they deserve? Most of the dog attacks you hear about is caused by Pit bulls. It is wrong for anyone to let their dog run free, they can get hit by cars, get stolen or if not spayed or neutered can cause more dogs to be put to sleep at the pound. The reason why they probably didn't say anything to that owner was because no one reported the collie as attacking anyone...

I am so sorry for you and your dog having to endured the predjuice that you evidently been a victim more than once. Unfortunately there isnt a lot of things to do. I think that I would make sure that my pet is safely confined. I would slso find out is there is a leash law, especially if this other person's dog is allowed to range freely througout the neiborhood. If this lady cannot show cause that she had been attacked, either she is frightened by you animal, or she just mind everyone business and has nothing else to spend her days..Believe me, if there were damages, you would have been informed and charged. Please keep your pet safely confined. Keep his food and water in a safe place,so that you donot have to deal with poisoning you pet. There are recourses that you make with the court system. Like if your pet is properly secured and she has more complaints take pictures of her dogs running around freelyand you dog secured. She definitely seems to like to create problems and if this goes on I would take her to civil court and show cause of why she harasses you.Try not to hold thest thingd so they eat at you. Just check into the leash laws,and take it from there. Try not to retaliate in anger. Just the truth.

It's not just the people who give the Pit Bull bad names,it is also those people who take on Pit Bulls and work with them to make them the vicious dog that they have the reputation of being.
There are sooo many people who want to have the badest Pit Bull,behavior and looks.By doing so ,it gives "good" Pit Bulls a tougher row to hoe than they already have.
My brother has a Pit Bull and he is the funnest and most playful and harmless dog. . . . as would a Shitzu.
If this lady has already poisoned one of your dogs I suspect she would try again to do it to this dog so watch out.
In most states it is a Felony to kill an animal that is not yours unless they threaten your property or person. . . . check this out and if the lady poisons this dog you might have a law suit against her.(Course remember,you have to be able to prove it so if your dog comes up dead you will probably want to get an autopsy.)
By law,you are entitled to face your accuser and I don't think the cop was fair.
If the cop made a visit to you then there should be a report somewhere.
If it were me,I'd want to know who called and accused me/my dog so I would know who to "watch out for".
If this person keeps this up,you can file on them for harrassment.

I will tell you that one of my neighbors has a Pit Bull that got loose and attacked another neighbors dog who was chained to it's dog house and our County Sheriff wouldn't do anything about it though the neigbors dog sat on it's front porch covered in blood.
Since that time,I have seen A Bit Bull running loose and I am not sure if it is the dog that attacked the neighbors dog but I am now scared to go out of my fence to feed my chickens or to take my grandchildren for a ride in the wagon for fear that Pit Bull will come up and possibly hurt one of us. . . .hard to get my gun to defend me and my grandchildren when we're out on the property and a vicious dog comes up.

There are two sides to this debate and now maybe you will understand better.
Yes, the cop could have worked with you better but you gotta know that since there ARE bad Pit Bulls out there and you now have a Pit Bull you are just going to get this,just as if you owned a Bull Mastiff or a Chow etc.


P.S. Keep in mind,any dog that has teeth in their heads can be a vicious dog. It's just a matter of what it takes to push them to that behavior.

That sucks. I have a dog that carries a stigma too and everyone I know tries to convince me that he's going to attack when I least expect it. I doubt it'll ever happen but it's hard to change some peoples' minds.

I just thought of something else: cops see a lot of the aftermath of dog fights. They associate the images of blood and fighting with Pits. I'm assuming that they tend to see so much of it that it becomes true to them.

That really sucks. I personally don't like pit bulls, of course I've never actually been near one. My mom has always said that we're never to go near one. The police were probably going by the fact that pit bulls were bred for fighting. Did you find out if the woman was hurt? Do you have proof that they put rat poison in your dog's food? You could probably get something against them for that.

Assallam mu alaikom. it rather is people who labeled yet another man or woman who do issues different than the conventional self as mad. besides the fact that if, Allah is well-known with maximum suitable why such guy or woman behave in that way.

maybe he said that because pit bulls are the #1 dog that attack humans.if you responded to all the calls that cops do on pit bull attacks you might feel the same way.but maybe your one of these people that think animals have same right to life as humans.
