A bit of a story.
One of my clients sent me a text to let me know that her dog had been attacked by a neighbor's dog so I wouldn't need to come see him today. As the day went on and the story unfolded, it gave me the creeps.
Client was walking her dog in her neighborhood. A dog came rushing out of the front door of a house towards her and her dog. The charging dog was wearing a muzzle! Client reached down, picked up her dog and closed her eyes, knowing that the dog was going to hit them momentarily. No time to run.
Client's dog was bitten, through the muzzle. His wound was deep, into the muscle and he had to be sedated to be stitched up.
Dog who attacked is a pit bull. Pit wears a muzzle because he bites the owner!!!! OMG! Pit's owner has been taking him to behavior classes to help him get his behavior under control. Evidently that is not working!
Imagine owning a dog that is not only a prohibited breed, but is so out of control that he wears a muzzle all day everyday.
I have witnessed many dog fights since I spend a few hours a day at dog parks with client's dogs. There has only been two fights that I have seen that did not involve pits. Those involved an Akita, the same Akita each time.
I have known some very nice pits, but I have seen more than one come through the gate at the dog park and go into attack mode.
I know that some of you have pits. What would you do if your pit bit you?
