Neighborhood problem turns violent

Yeah, thats pretty much it though I've never seen the dog smile. He's either sad or pissed off most of the time. ;D

Their looks can vary quite a bit in the face apparently. I guess it depends on the blood lines. Some have more defined muzzles that typical dog breeds have, and others have what I call the typical "in-line" terrier muzzle. This dog is about half and half.

What are the odds of that with a noggin that big?

Anyways, I've been told that the guy will probably just end up with a $150 fine once all is said and done. I'm sure that he'll be more than happy to take another crack if the dog starts hanging around the neighborhood again.

And for Tommy's sake since he'll eventually post again, the newspaper was responsible and identified the dog as a Staffordshire Terrier instead of the generic "Pit Bull". It doesn't matter though, because even Stafforshire breeders adamantly say that if a Staffordshire is allowed to run loose they can be a dangerous dog - more so than other breeds due to their nature of unprovoked aggressiveness to other animals.

One lucky dog.

If this doesnt prove pit bulls arent a dangerous breed i dont know what does.  ;)

Since the dog survived, it looks like your neighborhood problems aren't over, shardian. As cold-hearted as it may sound, I had hoped for your sake the dog hadn't survived.

Now you have to deal with both the dog and the Hatfields and McCoys.

Good luck - I've got a friend dealing with a Pit that moved in across the street from him. He's got three kids and a keen eye on that dog, but no Pit Bull Repellent. And by Pit Bull Repellent, I mean gun.

shardian:
I would SURELY hope the owner wouldn't let the dog run free again once it is healed up. Like I said before, I know he was only in the house to fix/resell. Here's hoping to him getting it on the market this spring and a fast sell.

One thing REALLY does irritate me though. I understand what the guy did was pretty out there and he definitely has anger issues, so that kills his case. However, he isn't near the monster that people will think after reading that article. There is no mention that the dog was allowed to run loose. There is no mention that the dog attacked HIS dog and HIS daughter. (the daughter thing is still alleged in my book because I did not witness anything, but the whole arguement started with the mom calling out the female dog owner and saying she had pictures from the last time the dog attacked her daughter). I do know that the shooter had addressed the issue and previous "attack" with the homeowners association President, who promised to address it, then did nothing just like he did with me.  ( I waited almost 2 weeks with multiple "CJ's my buddy, I'll talk to him tonight so don't worry about it" over the timespan.) I do not know if the shooter followed up with complaints with animal control or not though. Considering I had to harrass the hell out of them to get them out there,he might have called but there wouldn't be a record of it if they blew him off.

I get the feeling I know who "emailed" the news group considering "Staffordshire Terrier" is so plainly spelled out. I remember getting the "he's just a harmless Staffordshire Terrier" story from the owner still.

I have this to say: ---fudgesicle--- the owner, and ---fudgesicle--- anyone else who lets their mother ---smurfing--- dog run around a close spaced residential neighborhood 24/7. It's YOUR ---smurfing--- dog, YOU ---smurfing--- deal with it on YOUR OWN ---smurfing--- property, you piece of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---!

Whew, that felt good. I just wish I was enough of an ---uvula--- to say that in public. Sometimes I admire PBJ for that ability.  ;) ;D

ChadTower:

You can call the newspaper and fill them in on the details they weren't given, of course... that would make it a substantially more newsworthy story for them.  Plus newspapers really don't like being taken for a ride like that and tend to be a little vicious when given the rest of the story.
