Can you guess what kind of dogs they were?

Shh, audiance...
Here's a clue, a picture of the owner.

Same last summer. My kid on bike. Luckily slightly down hill and we were able to out run.

Glad both our situations had the best outcome.

My incident happened in a campground. My wife was walking two of our dogs while I was in the car trying to get a hold of a friend (who we were meeting). A giant pitbull came charging at my wife and dogs, and luckily someone that was with the pitbull's owner sprinted after that pitbull and tackled it.

I was in the process of getting out of my car with my gun when the dog was tackled. Given what transpired, that was certainly the best case scenario. Thankfully no one or animals were harmed, but that pitbull meant business.
 
It's no irony that most of the Jekyll & Hyde dogs are owned by people who can't even take care of themselves and are first time dog owners- and often in their first rental housing units.

I think it's a combination of things.

Bad dog owners are certainly one factor. Another factor is that some breeds are dispositioned to fight, and they go straight into that fight mood if a switch gets flipped. I've seen it a few times (all with pitbulls). And while most dogs nip with their front teeth when they attack, fighting breeds instinctively know how to use their jaws and muscles. There's a very distinct difference between a nip from a golden retriever, which will likely produce superficial wounds, to a full fledged attack from a pitbull.

That said, some pitbulls don't seem to have that switch - or at least its incredibly hard to find. My neighbors have an amazing pitbull that's the biggest pussy of a dog you will ever meet.
 
Definitely bad owners that deserve whatever's coming to them. I take it the dogs themselves were Euthanized? NEVER EVER EVER leave your dog unsupervised on the outside. Enclosed in a yard is insufficient because people will enter it (especially LE).

I have some friends, a married couple, I've known since I was 13. They both came from prominant families but that was long ago. She has lots of nieces and nephews and most of them are pure trash with drug and mental problems.

They may or may not show up during the holidays depending if they're not in rehab, the males are in their twenties, dope skinny, wearing baggy shorts, wife beaters, prison buzz cut with a neck tattoo; the fat girlfriend with purple hair on one side, shaved head on the other with nose lip rings, one bastard baby in a stroller and of course fucking pitbulls at home.

I do believe you have identified the primary isssue.
 
what i dont understand, is why the catch pole? leo usually are pretty quick on the trigger regarding dogs...unless they've attacked someone already.

were it me, the shotgun would come out.

had a pitbull come charging out at my kid when he and i were on a bike ride in the park in my small town. i was about two bike lengths behing my kid, and when that dog came flying out, i skidded to a stop between him and my son, drew my gun, and was about to shoot the cocksucker when one of the owners came running out of the pavilion to grab his dog. his eyes got pretty big, they got bigger when i IDed myself as the town LEO. if i remember correctly, and i think i do, the ordinance was written that the dog was to be siezed and locked up. i told that young couple that, and that seeing as how we have a very small budget, they could only guess as to how i would deal with that situation.

i ended the encounter with "the deal is, if you can get that dog out of town in two minutes, and NEVER bring it back, i will let you leave. make sure you tell your friends". i had NO sympathy for pits or other mean dogs in town.

shit like this infuriates me.

Pitbulls appeal to morons and shitbirds, they always get multiples of the ugly things too, because if one is good then three or four must be great.
 
The breed of dog definitely influences its tendencies. I have a a red healer that we adopted because it was chasing livestock and needed a home before the neighboring farmer shot him. Day one of his new residency, he decided he would snap at me. I promptly punched him in the face for his efforts. He came around about 5 minutes later and "apologized". We've been buds since. He's still an asshole to the mom in law and some delivery persons. Point is, he can't help but demonstrate his inherent programming. He was never abused, just genetically an asshole. Breeds matter. Some should be phased out.

I wish you could have seen my golden retriever fight. She would have changed your opinion of golden retrievers lol. She was a sweetheart, but she could turn it off and on at the flip of a switch. I don't think she lost a fight until she was about twelve years old. She lived to be sixteen. Nothing stood a chance. My parents brought her home shortly after they brought me home. We grew up together. That dog was like my shadow. Extremely protective.

Rancher I used to work for in my teens had a blue heeler. He liked to walk behind you and nip at the back of your legs. I caught him with a sharp rap on the beak one time and he stayed out of arms reach after that.

Letting your dogs free is like fireing your gun tandomly and hoping uou dont hit anythig.

Story old as time. Irresponsible criminal dog owner who had been a perrinial problem cost a person their life. She cost her dogs their lives by not controlling them. And she cost herself years of her own life. But never let a good tragedy go to waste right. Some go straight to ban the dog.

They say what kind of dogs and have pictures. One is a pitbull and one isnt. Watching the video the one that isn't is the one I would be most worried about. Not sure what the mix is but it lacks the body and head shape of what the pleebs call a "pitbull."

I was talking to SIL over Christmas and she was retelling the story of working on a criminal that tried to hide from the police dog in a crawlspace. She said his ass looked like shredded hamburger. When the bog bit into his ass he realized he couldn't hide like that. He turned and it grabbed his arm shaking him voilently and shredding his forearm to something she also compared to ground meat. She said "I didn't think there was anyway we were going to save his arm." "I was suprsied how much damage a dog could do so quickly."

Dogs are underestimated because genrally they are friendly or at least not inclined to actually bite someone for no reason. Of course there are always some bad apples and also dogs trained to bite.

Prayers for family. Real stand up of you using their tragedy to push your agenda.....

In a past life I humped mail for a living …..if I EVER hear someone say , he/she won’t bite….one more time , I think I’ll choke them out 😡
My usual retort was “ does it have any teeth ?? I carried a sawed off wooden baseball bat with the words Dog Stick written on it. 👍
 
As a dog lover, I feel really bad for the dogs (and the dogs' victims) more than their owners. I'll be honest. I'm not a "Pit Bull" guy, I've never had an issue with interacting with Pit Bulls (I only do so with their owners present and controlling them), but have had no difficulty. I could pet them when advised that it was permissible and safe.

That said, my family (and favorite breed) is the "Doberman Pinscher." And they seem to have similar push back in the general community. All but one Homeowner insurance Co in FL that I'm aware of will not write homeowner policies to homeowners that have a dog on their "Dangerous Breed" list (dobermans and Pit Bulls among them) or will cancel an existing policy if such an animal is discovered in the household. State Farm is the only co. I'm aware of that goes by "bite history" and doesn't have a dangerous breed list. As long as your dog doesn't bite anyone, you're good. I have State Farm, but I'm not sure how long I can keep them as the policy is up for renewal in early March. We'll see how much the rates go up or if they'll not renew the policy for financial reasons.

We'll see.
 
What a terrifying way for a little boy to lose his life. It’s heart wrenching to think of a child dying in utter terror. The dogs have to die and the owner should too.
Yeah, and in this day and age, in the United States.

There are many more people attacked and mauled by those shit dogs today than were ever killed by wolves, mountain lions and bears combined in the U.S.
 
Sometimes I watched Jesse Jame's Outlaw Garage series in 2012 when he was in Calif.
He had two dogs, pitbulls of course, that were always in the garage, usually in mock battle with the larger male always dominating the smaller brother.

One episode aired where it said the shop was closed for the day because the bigger pit had finally killed his brother. JJ, in his faggot westcoast accent commented "I liked -----."
Fucking STD breeding trash.
 
This is inexcusable. Those parents must be crushed, and they will carry this with them every day for the rest of their lives. Imagine what that boy went through. The dog's owner should be forced to shoot it.

People buy these things because of the breed's reputation for attacking and inspiring fear, and then they say, "IT'S NOT THE BREED!"

Friend of mine bought one of those grotesque, triple-sized varieties with a foreign name. I don't get it. Who wants a dumb, 160-pound fighting machine roaming the house and yard, waiting to go off and maul someone, leaving two-pound dumps all over the place, and irritating the neighbors?

I would not feel comfortable taking my wife to visit his house.

I can control my carry pistol, but why should anyone trust my big, stupid dog that was bred to kill?

I used to like big dogs when I was young, but these days, I think Chihuahuas are underrated. Small, loyal, easy to look after, and they live a lot longer than a dog the size of a calf. If your opinion of your masculinity depends on the size of your dog, you need to reflect, get rid of your truck nuts, lay off the Tren, quit cooking meth, and stop blacking out all your vehicles.

If I had to get a big dog, I'd get something close to a German Shepherd. Not a real inbred Shepherd that poops itself every time a car backfires and whose deformed rear end is 3" off the ground. Something like a Malinois. Whatever isn't too inbred.

Those Shepherds with the tiny stub rear legs look comical.
