I don't want to wade into this and I understand all sides.
I just want to say this:
15 years ago I rescued a Pitt mix in Austin.
He was already a year old.
The pound told me he was a Pitt/Pug so I called him my Pig.

He was a broken, abused child and I endlessly loved and trained him.
I knew the risks, but I had no children. I had nothing. My father had just died and my ex-wife had just left me.
I worked at home. I had all the time in the world and the motivation to give him all of my attention.

And I did.

I have a wife now and she has a large family. Although Mug has been a pillar of good, we warn everybody that he has pitt in him, no matter what.
15 years. He's now lost teeth. He has hip dysplasia and he's just tired, but in all those years...
He's never bit anyone. He's never tried to bite anyone.
He's never threatened other dogs.
He's never threatened a human in any way.

I get it. And I know I'm not going to change anyone's minds on this, but...

I love him. He's about to die of old age and he's done nothing wrong to be vilified his entire life because he's... what he is.

Much respect to you all, and much respect to my baby boy, who's been a near perfect boy his entire life (which is more than what many dogs can say).

I say near perfect because he begs too much.

I enjoyed this post because it defines the stereotype of Pitties (and more specifically their owners).

A large group of people of all ethnicities in the United States want intimidating Pitbulls. It’s a fad. This creates the discrimination of the animal as a whole, even for people like you who have nurtured their Pits to be the more typical modern day man’s best friend.

Take Poodles, for instance. Poodles were bred to be the greatest hunting dogs in the world... a lot of people don’t know that. Excellent for bird hunting; amazing swimmers. But people give them silly haircuts and put on diamond necklaces and now they’re a symbol of absurd opulence.

Same with Dalmatians. Today they have a reputation of being more difficult to train than most big dogs, and it’s undeserved. Not only is it undeserved, but it is Disney’s fault!

“The surge in demand for Dalmatians allowed puppy mills and unscrupulous breeders, out to make a fast buck, to flood the market with poorly bred dogs. ... Many of these poorly bred dogs displayed stubborn and aggressive behavior.”

I remember the guy who ran the firehouse by my childhood home said he’d never bring in a Dalmatian (as was the cliche), because his parents always warned him to stay away from them.

Popular culture can change the perception of things real quick.

So his dogs got loose, big deal. It's not like he incited them to attack people.

Bro, it is directly irresponsible of any dog owner to own killer dogs. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. You can try to make up any excuse to cover up for anyone having rights or any rights for the dog, but the bottom line is that everyone knows which types of dogs are killer dogs, thus making you fully responsible for choosing that kind of dog.

Why would anyone choose those kinds of killer dogs? What are they good for? Certainly not for home pets. Those dogs are good for 1 purpose only...to attack or guard a business. Zeke and Dak don't have any businesses, so they simply get those dogs to show off. It's the stupid gangsta image that has infiltrated this country since the late 80s. Oooh, look! My dog can beat up your dog! Yeah, but what else is it good for? Worthless piece of **** dogs in my opinion. Our country should ban all killer dogs. All they do is harm innocent people. Darn pitbulls are also the loudest, always yelping for any little thing and never shut the hell up. Piece of **** dogs just like their POS owners' mentality for wanting such dogs. That's the problem.

You are exactly the type of person my 2 year old GSD would light up on, while walking through the park. We would have already passed a 100 people. We would have been approached by a dozen strangers, attracted by the stunning example of the breed, while she walks calmly at my heel. A half dozen little kids would have wiped dog slobber off their faces. Then, here comes you. All tensed up, making hard eye contact and scowling directly at her, because of your irrational fear. She, or most any dog, would see this as you challenging her, threatening her. You recoil in fear, mumbling something about 'killer dogs'. We continue on to meet the next 7 year old girl who comes running up to meet the 'pretty doggy'.

Working breed dogs, especially those with guarding/protection instincts aren't for everyone, but if you know what you are doing, there is no better family companion dog, in my opinion.

I like reading stories like this. I'm a survivor of a savage pitbull attack. Still, I want to believe most dogs can be reformed with love.

My heart goes out to you buddy. 2 days before Christmas, I lost my 19yo dog. I still miss her and talk to her grave when walk by. I've been trying to adopt another but they make it too dang hard.

The truth is dogs are just like people. Some are aggressive jackasses while most are not.

But my boy.
6 more months and it will be 16 years.
Absolute pillar of this family. I will cry so many tears when he leaves us.

You guys will know. I'll probably start a thread in the Off Topic Forum.
@Ranching and a few others know I've been lamenting over my Mummy Meat of a boy for a minute.

My wife and I have three cats. One is quite old and frail and, when she is gone, we plan to adopt a dog. We have already started checking out the local rescue centers and, invariably, my wife is drawn to the (often abandoned) pitbulls. Why? She says they are so misunderstood and that they need us.

Kind of like the old adage about weather ( no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear), there are no bad dogs, just bad owners

I adopted a Lab/pit mix last summer he was 5 weeks old and living under an abandoned mobile home momma dog disappeared Named him Bubba because he acts like A bubba he likes everyone even cats He is actually to friendly And he gives hugs When my grand daughter comes to visit he becomes a pillow When he starts to play he makes sure he does not bite hard not even a lil bit hard. Have never had a dog that is as nice and gentile as he is

waiting for an appearance from our psychopathic Zeke hater....

I would imagine a lot of fans dislike Zeke after he cried his way into a contract after all his off-field issues and then threatened to hold out during his 3rd season. Thank God we paid him or we would've...oh.

CT Dal Fan · May 23, 2021

Zeke, just pay the fine and those people's medical bills and let's all move on. Please........

Another german shepherd I had, did bite my wife. Broke my heart. Had to get rid of her. Last I heard she was married to a dentist in Toledo.

Talk about crying.......read what you typed.

I don't agree with his contract. Jerry's the shoulder you're looking for.

My dad had a German Shepherd growing up as a kid. I have family who own some now. Amazing dogs.

My dads dog used to walk him to school. The dog even knew when he needed to be picked up, and would walk to the school and get my dad to walk him home.

that was back in the day when people didn’t care about a dog walking by itself down the street.

Great story. Classic Shepherd stuff. The dog must have been a chick magnet.

I've always been a GS fan. Looking forward to a male puppy in a few weeks, to go with my 2 year old female. We should be fully staffed.

You do not know anything about dogs. You are just yappin your mouth about "killer dogs" when there is no such thing.

Reminds me a WR once who kept a Killer Monkey! They'll eat your face off!!!

Good thing that MONSTER never got loose!!! Panic would've ensued! They're like those Martian cave crabs that latch on your face and then you're doomed!!

CATCH17 · May 23, 2021

I’ve never seen house trained pets that just get loose and immediately go and bite someone.

So odd that players on our team keep having this issue.

The Players obviously buy those dogs because they're bred to be viscious and they train them to be even more so. Overcompensation for something or the lack thereof? LOL. I do believe dat b illegal. I hope he gets the h e double hockey sticks sued out of him. I've heard all the stories about pits attacking even family membes like babies. It's in their blood. I've always had Labradors. Nicest dogs on the planet.

I've owned 2 German shepherd dogs in my lifetime. If properly trained and loved as pups, they can become some of the best and friendliest home pets to own. Very smart but active dogs. Need to be exercised often.
