The two articles above, what tragedies for sure. I talked to my son about this post yesterday and he said, if he were walking down the street with his son and someone approached with a Pit Bull on leash, he would cross the street. He said no matter what...dogs are still beasts. He also talked about taking his dog (some kind of Italian breed) to the dog park, we were talking about owners, and he said sometimes people just don't know dog behaviors, they don't research or learn how to manage their dogs. He said all the dogs in the park are off leash and this one women came into the no leash area, with her dog on the leash. All the dogs ran up to the new dog, to greet it, and she was all sketched out, pulling up on the dog's leash, trying to get away from all the dogs. People in the park, yelled, take the dog off the leash. It just wanted to go and play with the other dogs and she was freaking out.
