As the dog is charging up to you off the leash, “IT’S OK SHE’S FRIENDLY AND HAS GOOD RECALL TRAINING!”
I hate when people let their off leash dogs run up to my leashed dogs (we only walk in leash required areas). They always yell “they’re friendly” And I have to yell back “mine arent”. A suprising number of people still just mosey over slowly half-heartedly calling their dog while lm actively backing up and restraining my growling dog. One of my dogs is a rescue and she will fight anything if it charges her, a dog, a bike, a horse - she does not care.
Some people should not be allowed to have a dog.
That’s weird, she usually only bites me.
Was that a child’s leg that just fell out of her mouth?
Lol @ the photoshopped (or MSPainted) red eyes and teeth
I thought it was pink lipstick
Pitbulls shouldn’t exist as a breed.
Agreed. Forced sterilization should be the law.
I’d be fine if they were just regulated the same way, say, wolves are.
Nah, asshole humans who raise them to be vicious shouldn’t exist as a general rule, all dogs have the capacity to be vicious, yet, I don’t see the same disdain for chihuahuas, or shih tzus
My Aussie herds. I did not train her to herd. She was bred to herd. These dogs are not bred to fight, but to catch prey and not release it. Chihuahua’s and shitzu s don’t fucking kill children every single year. Get out of here with this fucking “dog racism” argument. Dogs aren’t fucking people.
“All dogs lives matter!”
Some dogs deserve to be placed in the pages of history.
I kinda have the opposite thing going with my dog. She’s a fluffy standard poodle that looks like a sheep. People come up and immediately stick their hands in her face not realizing she had been badly abused by her shithead former owners and will bite defensively when grabbed at by strangers. We’ve only had her for 2 months and are slowly training her out of it, but it’s taking time and trust.
I’ve found that having a “nervous, do not pet” vest has helped. Thankfully, it seems to have worked well so far.
but what about getting one for your dog?
Cupcake, fetch me their souls
What in the name of GIMP is that?
Pspspspspsps “Heeeere doggy”
I can understand people being scared of big dogs. However I grew up with a lot of dogs and I’ve been charged by a bully XL. My instinct was to smile and lunge at it making dog-talk noises and to fuss it. It jumped into my face and bust my lip but it jumped back in fear cos it thought it’d be in trouble for hurting me.
I carried on fussing it to let it know I forgave it and it wasn’t a problem.
It wasn’t until after I realised that non-dog people would have shit themselves and shown fear. Which could have triggered the dog to attack.

So that’s a well founded fear; no? IMO if your pet, regardless what it is, requires other people to know how to act to avoid being possibly mauled; it has absolutely no business being in public.
My badish encounter with my friend’s giant pit basically went the same. The second my hand was in his mouth he realized he fucked up and was my best friend after.
In his defense, my roommate’s cat had just started spraying on everything.
That sounds like an awful way to live with a large dog.
Is there a banpitbulls community on lemmy yet?
I don’t get it… it’s a dog…?
A dog is a tamed wolf, imagine trying to fight one to death with nothing but your fists.
There’s no bad dogs, just bad owners.
Pitbulls: Grandma looks delicious today
I love dogs and absolutely can’t stand people that say: There’s no bad dogs, just bad owners.
It’s just as stupid as people with their bullshit: Guns don’t kill people, people do!
Yea asshole, but a AK 47 VS a 6 piece revolver will do VASTLY different amount of damage.
Same with Pitbull. They are bred to IGNORE pain as they attack. Their jaws are bred to clamp down with maximum force.
Bad owner or not, some shit shouldn’t be in the possession of random citizens.
