Friend has violent Pitbull but wants to hist Girls Nite at her house

[Anonymous]

We have family members whose dog has bit immediate memberw of the family and other dogs. They keep the dog around. People are morons.

I would tell my friend that I have a general fear of dogs & that I may not be able to attend if her dog is in the home.

See if she offers to keep it inside the garage, another room or a cage.

If she doesn’t then I would just let her know that your “fear” of canines 🐾🐾 may not allow you to attend the event.

It is best to tell her this than telling her it is SPECIFICALLY HER dog that frightens you.
That way she will not be offended which could change the overall dynamic of your friendship.

GL.

My dog's mom killed her newborn puppy and yet she is a very sweet dog. They didn't put her down and now she is perfectly fine!

I do not own her because I have her other puppy whom she bit. He was bigger so wound wasn't serious

These dogs have to be banned!!

Awww you have a cute little pittie, don't you? A sweet little baby pittie who would never ever hurt anybody because he's just the sweetest little pittie in the whole wide world?

Yep, I have two ex friends who are exactly like this.

I do not go to parties where people do not put away their dog.

Let her know you are afraid. I would be more than willing to put my pet away if a friend was uncomfortable. That's what a good host does because they are thinking of the comfort of their guests.

Too many stories about attacks to not understand your hesitation.

Are you exaggerating??? I bet the owner is very attentive.

I assume they know and don’t care, which is fine. Everything is not for everybody.

Wait, are you OP assuming this? Because OP said:
'The other ladies are not aware of the attacks or the failed training, and some of them have never been to her house or dealt with this dog.'

OP needs to TELL the other friends about this dog, or IMO she is just as responsible if something happens to one of them at this party that SHE chose not to attend, because she has this information.

Look, another pitbull enthusiast, or at least, someone who doesn't bother to read the thread.

Go back, look at what OP actually posted. "Attentive" is not the term for this owner, since this dog already has a track record of biting.

Terrible idea. If the dog smells treats on OP, that makes OP an instant target for the dog's attention. Hell no.

Umm no. Only the dog owner is responsible for that. It’s dog owner’s responsibility to inform others of the dog’s issues.

If I was OP I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if one of my friends was injured by this violent animal that OP knows about, but doesn’t want to speak up about because… it might be awkward?

So I disagree, if the friends don’t know, and dog owner isn’t going to mention it, then OP is morally obligated to say something.

But maybe you’re the type to mow down a pedestrian because they weren’t in the crosswalk and you had the right of way? Instead of just slowing down or stopping because “it’s not my responsibility!”

Please tell us you’re not this unhinged in your everyday life.

My friend has fragile feelings

No she doesn't. She owns a pitbull. She cares -nothing- what other people think. She is giving you the finger.

I'd find new friends.
