Generally, I try to be uber positive and educational, even to the neighbor who said to me that I seemed like a nice lady but that my dogs should be killed...as his tiny, ill-tempered dog snarled and snapped at me from his arms. However, if anyone ever dared to lay a hand on my dogs, I would likely let unleash hell's fury on A Confessed Pit Bull Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777050986041332779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471417248890398814.post-72015006275418808632012-02-08T23:30:04.332-06:002012-02-08T23:30:04.332-06:00That's a terrible story!

I have a really quick temper and a smart mouth, not a good combo at all. Under most circumstances I can educate calmly (got a ton of practice with then when I had mastiffs), but in a situation like this I probably would have gone on a tirade of what an ignorant piece of Dachshund Nolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050622761352753529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471417248890398814.post-83617497564130353802012-02-08T19:45:40.812-06:002012-02-08T19:45:40.812-06:00So....Unfortunately, Lila would have taken his han...So....Unfortunately, Lila would have taken his hand off.

I would have called the cops and hoped that the media got wind of it.<br /><br />We hear time and time again about the so-called viciousness of pitbulls -- but what about the abuse these poor dogs suffer because of governments who think it is okay to label them as aggressive and destroy them (at least here) at will.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415107580164949825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471417248890398814.post-29661851309960431522012-02-07T12:36:54.910-06:002012-02-07T12:36:54.910-06:00She absolutely did the right thing.

I have had very similar experiences with Koira, with people either backing away or freaking out and yelling at me, but none of them have EVER hit my dog. <br /><br />I would call the cops, probably. Even if I had nothing more than a description of the person, I would make a police report. But, I would walk away at the time.K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471417248890398814.post-7391293744799748502012-02-07T11:07:29.865-06:002012-02-07T11:07:29.865-06:00Wow!

Then I would have informed him that he could go to jail for doing just that. This happened at the dog park one day where a man hit someone else's dog and the park rangers were called.
