An Apology to Blogdreamz

I would like to apologize for my comment I place on the post entitled "An Apology To Breed Ban Enthusiasts." I went on this rant about how I heard that 95% of dog attacks that I hear about are pitbulls and pitbull mixes. It made me sound like I am for a ban on dog breeds. I don't think that certain dog breeds should be banned. I think that certain humans that have vicious dogs should be banned. A friend of mine(for blogging purposes shall be known as SF) is "THE" ultimate dog person. She has so much love in her heart that she took in an abused dog and helped her trust humans again. Abby has been an important part of her family for years. SF said she would not own a pitbull. They are the only breed she says can't overcome their urge to attack no matter how much you love them. SF is the type of person that does research on how to help abused animals. Her pooch, Abby, was very mistrusing of humans and it took SF a while to rehabilitate her. When you first meet Abby you wouldn't know that she use to hate humans. In fact she loves the attention. Again, I'm not a nazi who wants to exterminate all pitbulls. In fact, I love dogs. I have two pooches of my own. I just want the humans that keep them to have a background check and a license to have a dangerous animal just like anyone that has a dangerous animal. I await your comments.
'nuff said.

I agree with you about it being the owners responsiblity to monitor their animals, but one case in particular involving a chained dog the child should have been monitored. He was of preschool age, out and about alone, not being watched, and he decided to approach this chained dog. The dog attacked him. The owners and dog were vilified in the media, but never was there a mention of the caretakers of the child and their irresponsible behavior.

Think that most of this is from the media about pitbull
You do hear all about the attacks.Why do they attack.
I believe the owners are resonbile for this and they chose this.
Just like training a dog.
They are getting a bad rap.
Your right it is the owners and not the animals.
Why do you think that they picked the Pit Bull.
They want some sort of protection.But they are not doing it right
As for me hate to see any dogs get put down.
Yes,we do have some cases it happen.
I know a couple of my friends have pit bull and they seemed to
behave.For me I get a little nervous,but that is because of the
media.Things seemed to be quiet some.Have not heard any news
on them.

I think it's great that you're open minded. It's a tough call given what is portrayed in the media. I don't have any dogs, so I won't be one to call out a certain breed for lack of experience.

yeah, you can't tell by breed... my labradoodle doubles as a cujo outside. Who'da thunk?
