Dak’s dog could receive death penalty

[PAPPYDOG]

I love my pits.

They were bred to fight other dogs, not humans.

Hey what do you know Mr. Vick is a member here....

history repeats itself. Spartacus was trained to kill other men. he turned on his masters, too.

I would never have a Dog I couldn't trust around my children....either way to each his own bud GL....

Totally understand.
I don't have children to worry about, per se.
I have walked this guy over 7000 times in our lives.
We've only had one issue and that was because of a dog jumping over it's fence and coming after us.

Even that fire was put down quickly.

I do get you and I am not saying you're wrong.

I just have a good place for problem children that get no love to get love.
And that's what I give.

I have had zero issues with anyone and I don't plan on having any.

Not that I'm arguing. I understand. That's what makes me love them and want to put them in a good place.

I've had 6 pits over the last 30 years and raised them from pups until the past from age related issues. Never had one attack a person or animal cats included. The key is socializing them as puppys and never stop training them.

I agree its not a breed just anyone should have. A lot of people are lazy pet owners and get one because they think they look cool. They are a lot of work.
We decided to try to recue on a couple of years ago. It was only a year old so we figured it could still be trained. That dog would go after any animal it could. We kept him on a leash and he would go into a rage when he saw a cat and i would have to use all my strengh to hold onto him. We had to take him back to the shelter. If those dogs aren't responsibly trained from the very start of their life. They are a lost cause.

Great post

You are one of my absolute favorite reads.

I really don't see Dak's dog being put down. For one, the lady never should've tried to intervene, and she should be trained how to behave around dogs. For another thing, this is presumably a first offense, and they'll probably give Dak the opportunity to rehabilitate the dog, or have him build a more secure enclosure.

If neither of those conditions occurs, he'll probably be allowed to send him to a more rural home.

My greatest fear is, while walking my boys on their leashes- a random dog comes running at us at full force.

It's an Oh **** moment filled with fear.

It's a personal choice. I don't want them around my family.

None of those links are proof of anything.

It's a media narrative.

It's like narratives in sports.

There is a guy that posted here years ago. He now writes articles for USA Today. It's a real media outlet and the editors make the stories look good and professional on their website.

The problem is that much of.what he writes is commonly known to be false or misleading. He likes to get attention9 by reinforcing narratives.

There are many narratives claiming Dak is terrible and has the worst accuracy ever. Most of those narratives can be disproven with stats.

Dak's critics try to take 1 or 2 throws in a game and use that as their "evidence"; however, they don't comprehend that all QBs have missed passes. Tom Brady completed about 66% of his passes in 2018. That means 34% were incomplete. His receivers didn't drop all 34%. There are drop stats for receivers to prove that.

You definitely shouldn't own or have dogs around your family that you're not comfortable being around.

The stories about little kids being attacked by dogs points to problems with the owners.

Medium to large dogs just by playing or running could injure a young child.

Somebody's large dog ran into me at the dog park last April and broke both bones in my lower leg. The injury was similar to the Allen Hurns leg injury. It could have killed a small child or elderly person. The breed didn't really matter other than the size and speed.

I've owned many dogs over the years and I've been around many others. The Pitbull narrative is totally misguided.

Dak was at fault for not having his dogs secured?

Having said that, sometimes a rare mistake happens while in other situations people are consistently negligent. The details should matter.

The rest of the story details are speculative.

If Dak's dog was snarling at another dog through a fence that's common for many dogs and does not really indicate the level of aggressiveness of the dog per se.

Unless Dak's dog was killing another dog, the lady should have stayed away.

If you had a 10 year old child that was in a scuffle with a big mean kid, you can't just go punch that kid in the face. The fact that the big kid was wrong does not condemn him to death or to being beat up by a grown man.

The authorities have Dak's dog. Either it is aggressive beyond a reasonable level or not. If not Dak should get a fine and possibly get sued by the lady.

With Dak being a celebrity type, other motivations are always possible. Many people would get a dog bite or claim a bite with the idea of getting paid. That's probably not true in his neighborhood but it is possible.

Bulldogs are dangerous. It’s been proven over and over again. Anyone who gets one needs to understand that ****’s going to happen at some point.

 

[xwalker]

Probably because Pitbull attacks can often lead to fatalities. You're playing around with the stats. Bottom line, Pitbulls are the most dangerous breed out there and they account for the largest percentage of fatalities. Couple that with the fact that they are less that 7% of the canine population but account for 65% of the fatalities. Chihuahuas may bite the most but they rarely lead to a fatality.

Your information is completely wrong.

This site references peer-reviewed studies.

If you don'r know what peer-reviewed means, it is the method that studies are legitimized.

I've had my pit for over a decade with zero incident.
A responsible owner is generally raising a good pet, but let's be honest:
A dog's a dog and pits raised by pieces of S are going to be pieces of S.

A dog raised by someone that is there and cares and loves will be a caring and loving dog.
Generally.

There are always exceptions to the rule and pits can be unpredictable, given unpredictable situations, but a good owner knows this.
I consider Dak a dog lover that has his hands in too many honey pots and probably shouldn't have dogs at this moment of his life.

He should have dogs after he's done with his career.

Who goes to the store and leave two dogs running about

Wait for it to get close enough while charging you, and kick it right under the jaw. I've flipped full grown German Shepherds that way, plus a couple other dogs, the breeds of which I don't recall. (I hitchhiked a lot when I was young, plus I delivered furniture for 11 years.)

Very well put overall. I think a lot of people get Pits because they are status symbols or something. Like "I'm legit, I got a Pit and everything". Most have no clue what type of animal they have....

You are so right and that's almost exactly what I did, in that instance. I kicked that sucker in it's ribs so hard that I think I broke things, but I did what I had to do.

I just wanted to adopt a boy that was as unwanted as myself at that moment...

We are the very best of friends and I love him like family.

He's at the end now... and I've given him a lot of happiness and comfort.

Your father should've sued the PD. At the very least, a dog who bites a child is not fit to be used as a police dog.

There was a pair of dobermans that lived near me and they attacked me once, but it was winter, and I was walking on the road alongside the lake, so I ran onto the ice, to one of those small patches of that snow that sticks to the ice, (if you're familiar with that condition). Each time the dogs ran at me, I could easily sidestep them, and they kept falling down, hurting themselves. After a minute or two, they gave up and went home. I was probably 10 at the time, so it was pretty lucky the lake was frozen.

Yea I wish he could of but there was so much other factors into that problem. One it was my Dads partner " The K9" He should of not left the dog by where me 4 at the time be around alone. So he could have faced some major problems if it didn't go that way. My Dad still feels the guilt to this day 35 years later. But hey, he gave me some dam cool scars and for sure an improvement on my looks Surprisingly I was not traumatized or got a fear of dogs " Pre Helicopter Parents / Snowflakes / Millenials" .... even after 3 years later bite again. Chicks do dig scars, so **** .... it just goes with the rest of the Ive collected through life.

Oh yea with the frozen water. Ive been saved but a few things thanks to the randomly frozen pond here and there.

I need to go back and read on this.

As a pitbull owner, this is always my big fear. I take great pains so this kind of situation never arises, but nobody is perfect.

The problem really isn't the pit bull breed. They're not bad dogs, the problem usually is that people who are bad dog owners tend to own pit bulls.

 

[Corso]

Thats the truth right there. Bully breeds are very hard dogs to own if you are not experienced with them. That's all Bully breeds too not just pits. They also love to get into trouble when bored. Not dogs that just get left at home. THere is no bad dogs , just bad owners. Of course there is some that are just defects in the world .... but that can be seen way before it bites someone. Person interjecting herself also at fault ... Only do that when its a MUST like its attacking a person , or about to kill your own dog.




The public changes its minds on dangerous things like animals all the time. German shepherds were once in the light, as well as , Dobermans and Rottweilers. Its all about what in fashion to blame at the time. When I was 4 I was bitten in the face by my Dads K9 " German Shepard" I had 54 stitches in my face and almost lost an eye. Most would say the scares are an improvement as it takes away from my face . THe dog was never put down and there was no report. My father wanted both and was pissed ..... The Police said the dogs value was too much and it outweighed my accident. My father quit the force after that

There are no bad dogs, there are bad owners.
Yes.

Holy... crap dude. So your father was a **** dog owner...

I am so sorry brother. That's garbage. You're a badass with, or without the gun you like to display.
