This happened in my neighborhood, and I know the owners of the victim dog, a very sweet small/medium doodle mix that was always leashed on walks. The grapevine says the aggressor dog was a pit that apparently a neighborhood family was fostering (and doing a shockingly poor job of that, clearly).

People are out walking their dogs constantly around here, and everyone is shaken up and feeling horrible that our neighbor and her lovely dog had to endure this. We are all thinking about what we would or should have done if it happened to us. Does everyone else walk around their neighborhoods with bear or pepper spray just in case? Are those actually effective in dog attack scenarios?

Oh, goody. Gossip. That'll help.

This information is actually responsive to the thread topic, unlike the bizarre rants from the pit apologists.

I’m curious about what others do, if anything, to be prepared should they or their dog be attacked by a dangerous animal in their neighborhood?

1) leash your dog (no retractable leashes. 6ft max, 4 is better)
2) keep your dog under your control (by your side, quiet, focused, not wandering off-trail, not barking at passers-by)
3) stay alert and scan for hazards. You are on-duty. No headphones, no phone, stay present, eyes scanning for hazards (the more time you have to respond, the better your response is likely to be)
4) carry dog repel spray (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/REPELLENT-Repeller-Agressive-Attack-BICYCLE/dp/B01FYAIE80) and/or pepper spray and, most importantly, know how to use it
5) carry a walking stick or other 'break stick' in case you need to break up a fight so you're not using your hands/arms

But really? the first 3 will keep you safe. Most people invite trouble with an off-leash dog, or a dog that's too far outside their control, don't train their dogs not to bark ("don't start none, won't be none" applies in the dog world, too), and are half up their own backsides, talking on the phone, or texting, or...

Are you saying that if you ‘invite trouble’ by say, having your dog on a long lead while hiking that it’s okay that your ‘sweet pittie’ mauls that person and their dog to death?

Yes, fool, if you're inviting trouble by not having control of your dog, you become complicit in what happens to your dog. Same as if they get bit by a snake, get into poison ivy, or snap a leg in that gopher hole you would've avoided by having them on trail with you, like you should've.

The new dog owner's mentality of "close enough" isn't. There are rules for a reason, and if you care at all about your pet's well-being you should follow them. There are all sorts of actual liabilities you'll avoid by doing so; you don't need to make up horror stories about packs of mauling pit bulls.

Y'all treat this like it's playtime, when it's actually supposed to be taking responsibility for a living creature. No pride, no sense, just everything's a playzone and you can half-ass it.

75% of fatal attacks are pits or rotts

Do your own research and provide stats that show i am wrong.

"I have no stats. If you want stats, you do the work I'm unwilling to do and unpack my ignorance for me. The reward for this unpaid labor will be me continuing to blather on about my crappy take, learning nothing, because I love my ignorance and have no good sense."

Tempting, but... no.

No thanks... any research I provide you you are going to make some inane assertion that the source is false. You were provide court cases all over the US that showed pits are dangerous, they were bread to be so, owners can't undo breeding... but "you are a volunteer" so that makes you an expert.

But you've only shown you are an expert in ignorance and the inability to take part in a conversation where you hold up your end of proving your point.

Your "research" does not show this point. At all. It also lumps all the dogs that 'look pit' under the same label. And here you are, lashing out at me instead of patching the holes in your own argument, which is why I already declined.

Be ignorant, if you like. I'd prefer you were also quiet, but you're not my responsibility (praise be).

The reality is pits were breed to fight and that is still in their breeding and your liberal heart is not going to stop the fact that this breed is dangerous (as well as a few others).

I don't think we should kill them but I do think their owners should have to prove every 2 years their dog can be in an area with other dogs and not attack.

If they attack they can't have the dog.

This, but instead of being breed-specific, EVERYBODY who wants a dog of ANY kind has to prove competent handling and training. "pits" were not the only dogs bred to fight, nor are they the only dogs that bite. All dogs can be dangerous if poorly trained and/or uncontrolled.

Tbf, one of the main reasons that labs have been the favorite breed for decades is that they are specifically bred to have soft mouths and to not bite people badly, when they do bite. So they are good beginner dogs because a family that isn't familiar with training a dog won't accidentally create a dangerous monster.

Labs rule!

Lab pit is a good mix. Straight labs have genetic issues, unfortunately. They sure are sweet though!

No, lav pit is not a good mix. First time dog owners believe the lie that it's a lab mix and then they're horrified when their "lab mix" mauls another dog or person. Out of nowhere!

The two women, the subject of this thread, were injured trying to save their poor doodle from the pit mix. Whether their doodle was heeling or 4 feet away from them, they couldn't save it and were injured themselves.

You're right that pitbulls are not "playtime". They are dangerous. And they are ubiquitous, on every neighborhood. Because of rescues.

You were there? You saw it? The two women weren't gossiping (like you) while their dog on a retractable leash started barking at an unleashed dog? You're sure of it?

No, you're not, because no, you weren't. And this is why nobody takes you haters seriously. You're so incredibly willing to talk out your arse and claim facts not in evidence, and you speak as if you know when you clearly do not.

Dog ownership is not playtime. Not any breed, not any size, not at any point. If you have different standards for different breeds, you're the problem. All dogs can bite, should be assumed to be unfriendly unless known, and all dog handlers should be focused on their dog(s), which should be under the owner's responsible control at all times.

This is how we keep ourselves, our dogs, and our neighbors safe.

The pitbull bit the women. You're saying they should carry a gun on a neighborhood walk, if they are to meet your standard or responsibility and safety?

No. One is an example of humans minding their business: women are allowed to dress however they please within the law. The other is an example of people not following the law (dogs are supposed to be under their owners control at all times).

Any IDs on the breed of the leashed dog that the pit killed?

This happened in my neighborhood, and I know the owners of the victim dog, a very sweet small/medium doodle mix that was always leashed on walks. The grapevine says the aggressor dog was a pit that apparently a neighborhood family was fostering (and doing a shockingly poor job of that, clearly).

People are out walking their dogs constantly around here, and everyone is shaken up and feeling horrible that our neighbor and her lovely dog had to endure this. We are all thinking about what we would or should have done if it happened to us. Does everyone else walk around their neighborhoods with bear or pepper spray just in case? Are those actually effective in dog attack scenarios?

Oh, goody. Gossip. That'll help.

This information is actually responsive to the thread topic, unlike the bizarre rants from the pit apologists.

I’m curious about what others do, if anything, to be prepared should they or their dog be attacked by a dangerous animal in their neighborhood?

1) leash your dog (no retractable leashes. 6ft max, 4 is better)
2) keep your dog under your control (by your side, quiet, focused, not wandering off-trail, not barking at passers-by)
3) stay alert and scan for hazards. You are on-duty. No headphones, no phone, stay present, eyes scanning for hazards (the more time you have to respond, the better your response is likely to be)
4) carry dog repel spray (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/REPELLENT-Repeller-Agressive-Attack-BICYCLE/dp/B01FYAIE80) and/or pepper spray and, most importantly, know how to use it
5) carry a walking stick or other 'break stick' in case you need to break up a fight so you're not using your hands/arms

But really? the first 3 will keep you safe. Most people invite trouble with an off-leash dog, or a dog that's too far outside their control, don't train their dogs not to bark ("don't start none, won't be none" applies in the dog world, too), and are half up their own backsides, talking on the phone, or texting, or...

Are you saying that if you ‘invite trouble’ by say, having your dog on a long lead while hiking that it’s okay that your ‘sweet pittie’ mauls that person and their dog to death?

Yes, fool, if you're inviting trouble by not having control of your dog, you become complicit in what happens to your dog. Same as if they get bit by a snake, get into poison ivy, or snap a leg in that gopher hole you would've avoided by having them on trail with you, like you should've.

The new dog owner's mentality of "close enough" isn't. There are rules for a reason, and if you care at all about your pet's well-being you should follow them. There are all sorts of actual liabilities you'll avoid by doing so; you don't need to make up horror stories about packs of mauling pit bulls.

Y'all treat this like it's playtime, when it's actually supposed to be taking responsibility for a living creature. No pride, no sense, just everything's a playzone and you can half-ass it.

The two women, the subject of this thread, were injured trying to save their poor doodle from the pit mix. Whether their doodle was heeling or 4 feet away from them, they couldn't save it and were injured themselves.

You're right that pitbulls are not "playtime". They are dangerous. And they are ubiquitous, on every neighborhood. Because of rescues.

You were there? You saw it? The two women weren't gossiping (like you) while their dog on a retractable leash started barking at an unleashed dog? You're sure of it?

No, you're not, because no, you weren't. And this is why nobody takes you haters seriously. You're so incredibly willing to talk out your arse and claim facts not in evidence, and you speak as if you know when you clearly do not.

Dog ownership is not playtime. Not any breed, not any size, not at any point. If you have different standards for different breeds, you're the problem. All dogs can bite, should be assumed to be unfriendly unless known, and all dog handlers should be focused on their dog(s), which should be under the owner's responsible control at all times.

This is how we keep ourselves, our dogs, and our neighbors safe.

The pitbull bit the women. You're saying they should carry a gun on a neighborhood walk, if they are to meet your standard or responsibility and safety?

Are you all really this stupid, or do you just like to start stupid internet slapfights?

I'm addressing the pp upthread who claimed to have knowledge of the situation they clearly don't have. It's literally linked for your review; try reviewing the thread.

"You're saying they should carry a gun on a neighborhood walk"

No. At no point in time did I say anything of the sort. Nobody did. How do you even come up with this nonsense? Are you drunk? Hallucinogens, maybe?

When the dog attacked the police, they shot and killed it. So the women needed a police escort to safely walk around the block.

Do your own research and provide stats that show i am wrong.

"I have no stats. If you want stats, you do the work I'm unwilling to do and unpack my ignorance for me. The reward for this unpaid labor will be me continuing to blather on about my crappy take, learning nothing, because I love my ignorance and have no good sense."

Tempting, but... no.

No thanks... any research I provide you you are going to make some inane assertion that the source is false. You were provide court cases all over the US that showed pits are dangerous, they were bread to be so, owners can't undo breeding... but "you are a volunteer" so that makes you an expert.

But you've only shown you are an expert in ignorance and the inability to take part in a conversation where you hold up your end of proving your point.

Your "research" does not show this point. At all. It also lumps all the dogs that 'look pit' under the same label. And here you are, lashing out at me instead of patching the holes in your own argument, which is why I already declined.

Be ignorant, if you like. I'd prefer you were also quiet, but you're not my responsibility (praise be).

The reality is pits were breed to fight and that is still in their breeding and your liberal heart is not going to stop the fact that this breed is dangerous (as well as a few others).

I don't think we should kill them but I do think their owners should have to prove every 2 years their dog can be in an area with other dogs and not attack.

If they attack they can't have the dog.

They also have a high prey drive and are easily triggered to attack in seemingly innocuous situations.

So do greyhounds

Let me know how many news articles you can find about greyhounds killing other dogs.

Took all of 20 seconds, slacker: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/moment-greyhounds-attack-and-kill-chihuahua-in-coventry-caught-on-camera/ar-BB1gX3CE

Complete with video. Dogs off leash, the on-leash dogs not under proper control... all the variables cited above, no "pit bulls"

Your move, chump.

Greyhounds have a high prey drive. But they didn't eat the poor Chihuahua.

More goalpost moving from the losers who can't just take the L and learn from it. You asked for an article about greyhounds killing dogs, and one was near-immediately provided for you. Do you adjust your position based on this new information? No.

This is a you problem.

No, I didn’t ask for an article; I said let me know [b]how many[b] you find. In fact, since pit bulls are 5 different breeds, feel free to compare the statistics for “pit bulls” versus sight hounds so it’s more fair.

I do not feel free to continue doing unpaid labor for your willfully-ignorant ass. I feel free to mock you, relentlessly, for your lack of critical thinking, arrogance, and stupidity.

So you're welcome to feel free to disenage, as I'll take further engagement as consent proceed as described.

Yes, the numbers will not compare favorably for pits, so you should duck out.

No. One is an example of humans minding their business: women are allowed to dress however they please within the law. The other is an example of people not following the law (dogs are supposed to be under their owners control at all times).

On a leash is in control

[Anonymous]

It doesn’t matter if they intentionally taunted the dog, imo. The dogs should be put down the owners charged. I don’t think you can ban dogs because this is America, but if your dog injures someone, there should be very serious consequences.

On a retractable leash 10 feet away while you're on your phone is not in control.
