[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another day, another clickbait anti-pit post  :roll:

1) Yes, it does most definitely look like a boxer. Know your breeds.
2) Crate. Train. Your. Dog. No excuses. 90% of the chaos in this story goes away if a smarter dog-owner crates the dog.
3) Waving your arms and flapping a towel around and jumping like an idiot while a loud noise causes chaos is going to get a dog's attention. 
4) If this truly were a Deadly Pit Bull (mix) wouldn't everyone be dead? Wouldn't he have had his face eaten by the "couch hippo"? Wouldn't there be no survivors left to tell the tale? I mean, choose your narrative here...

But the takeaway shouldn't be "don't adopt a boxer (mix)." It should be "Crating your dog dramatically reduces chance of injury, and gives your dog a safe place to be in the event of unexpected chaos."

If you have to keep your dog locked up to not be eaten perhaps it’s time to reevaluate your pet. [/quote]

If you have to use crazy rhetoric to make your point, maybe you don't have one. Crate training is good for all dogs, of all breeds, and provides a safe place for a dog to be in the event of an emergency.

And this isn't "eaten". At all. He got bit. That's not "mauling" or "being eaten". At all. That's a dog bite. Unfortunate, but not even remotely "eaten".[/quote]

One unprovoked bite would deem that dog to be unable to be taken to be rehomed. And many places would consider euthanizing this dog.

I can’t believe you’re downplaying how serious this is. People like you who excuse this behavior should not be in society either other human beings.[/quote]

It's a serious case of "ignorant owner gets pwned by own stupidity", sure. As dog bites go, the dude's bites are low-grade. That he was exclusively bit on the forearms strongly suggests he was using his hands to (mis)handle the dog. This is owner error. When you read the rest of the story and see how many other owner errors there are, it becomes clear that while the dog definitely needs to be removed from this person's home, it may not need to be immediately destroyed. The dog never attacked the kids, nor the wife. Just Mr. Cockytude, who was also allegedly attacked by his last dog.

People like you who don't understand this behavior shouldn't speak definitively on what needs to happen next because you don't know what you're talking about. Your willingness to act like you do makes you a liability for other people and their dogs. I won't say you "should not be in society", but you should definitely get yourself to a library and read up a bit about dog behavior if you want to talk like you know what's what, because you don't and it shows.[/quote]

People like you would pick their dog over their kids. And one day, after your violent dog goes berserk out of nowhere, would be writing the obituary and burying their kid because you believed “you should go to a library and read about dog behavior”. :roll:

It’s folks like you who give us dog lovers a bad and terrible name. You NEVER keep a dog around who suddenly strikes and bites enough to draw blood. I’ve been a dog owner for 40 years, only had one who drew blood, and that dog was out of my home immediately after.

It only takes ONE major bite for the dog to kill a little one. But again, people like you would rather keep the aggressive dog alive around your family and end up in a tragedy one day. I’m not risking my family over someone not reading a library book on dog behavior. With all due respect, grow up. No dog should be violent in the home. Period.

Buddy, you need to scroll up and read. At no point did I suggest, in any way, that the aggressive dog should be kept around. In fact, what I actually said was "the dog definitely needs to be removed from this person's home". There's nuance in my point that you apparently just couldn't handle; I'm sorry you're such a reactive idiot that you have to lash out at a stranger over your own reading comprehension fail and dump this subsequent screed.

"It’s folks like you who give us dog lovers a bad and terrible name" by going all the way off like this without having basic common sense and 8th grade reading abilities. [/quote]
