I’d come up with an excuse. Tint make it about the dog. Pit bull owners are nutso and will take great offense.

Decline the invite and tell all the other women why. At least half the others will decline too and then you can choose somewhere else together.

Imagine that the dog attacked one of the women and it came out that you knew it was dangerous!

It is a Pitt. A bite could require hospitalization.

I think the OP should be honest - you are not comfortable in a house with an untrained pit that has attacked two puppies. Suggest they move the social event back to a restaurant.

I would not go, even if the dog was in another room. This woman doesn't acknowledge how unsafe her dog is - I could see her opening the door to let the dog out "because he's lonely/just wants to say hi to everyone/Laura loves dogs and hasn't gotten to meet him yet".

So no. I would never go to her house.

It doesn’t matter if you feel awkward mentioning the attacks. You’ll feel a hell of a lot more awkward if the dog attacks one of them and it comes to light you knew this was a problem dog and didn’t say anything. Think on that for a moment.

Put sleepy drugs in a meatball

You should tell the other people about this dog. Frankly. This dog should have been put down after almost killing a puppy. I say this as someone whom lives dogs and been around them all my life.

I would just be honest and say “sorry but I am afraid of your dog. Will fluffy be kept away from the party?”

1) don't go
2) does she not have/use a crate?

Thank you for this feedback, I'm leaning towards the suggestion to just tell her about my fear of her dog and let her know i'll connect with them all at the next event if the dog will be loose in the house at the Girls Nite.

I am not a troll, not sure why PPs would think that. I stopped taking Zoloft awhile ago as my therapy has helped alot with the anxiety I was dealing with, but I still have some left over and have no problem using it again if needed.

I have no idea why this dog has not been euthanized, but that's a good question bc the attacked puppies were fosters. I'm not a dog owner so I don't know what the parameters are around euthanizing dogs that attack others.

My friend is in complete denial about how terrifying her dog is to others. And she has neighbors and other friends who are not scared of the dog at all (they pet and play with it), so I think she thinks everyone enjoys her dog. But I don't.

I'm not sure why she has not told our other friends about the attacks. I'm closer with her and see and speak with her more often than the others do, so that's probably why she's more open with me about it. TBH I would feel awkward telling our friends about the attacks when she has not mentioned it to them first. THe whole thing just bugs the heck out of me, ugh.

This.

If the friends don’t know about the crushed skull and broken legs, for the love of god, tell them!! I’d be pissed if someone knew about this and didn’t tell me so I could have all the information when making decisions about my safety.

Because he doesn't exist.

If he crushed a puppy’s skull why hasn’t he been euthanized?

I'd say I'm scared of big dogs and can you put yours away while we are there. I'd do it in the group chat too.

If she says no, then you can drop by and leave.

But yeah, really no one else knows her dog crushed a puppy's skull? Mmmmhmmmm.
